“Pro wrestling tells stories and provides entertainment through athletes,” ex-TNA World Heavyweight Champion Ethan Carter III said, explaining its difference from the conventional Greco-Roman fare. EC3, as he is better known, along with Rebel, are part of Sony Six’s four-city tour to promote Impact Wrestling, TNA’s flagship show, featuring the Stars and Knockouts over three days in Mumbai from December 2 to 4. The grand finale will be telecast live in about 120 countries. Taking off his coat and shirt to reveal his rippling muscles, the Cleveland, Ohio native said fitness was paramount. Knockout Rebel, who hails from Oklahoma was into dolls and summer parties before she got hooked to the sport.
Murtuza Madraswala, AVP, Marketing, Sony Six and Sony Kix, said the sport was second only to cricket in terms of fans. The tie-up has already begun a search under internationally known Indian wrestler Dalip Singh to unearth new national talent.
