I imagine Dixie sending memos saying this to the people who really had their hopes up about this tour.

TNA's saying that the tour had to be pushed back due to safety concerns following the Paris attacks. Also: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Bullshit. ISIS is something u would not dare to mess with, with the way TNA has been pushing Shera, I believe its a good reason to postpone the India Tour. But that statement of TNA paying the wrestlers, made my reaction be like.....

Let's be honest. The "logistical issues" is that the India tour was something they planned out of desperation and the POP deal came along and rendered that unnecessary.

Even with DA's money they haven't been able to afford to tape in months, have been late paying people, and all that, and most reliable sources are saying POP isn't paying them a dime, plus the Sony Six deal meant they weren't financing that themselves. More likely, nobody was buying tickets for the thing due to TNA barely existing and having nothing in the way of star power that would actually be along for the trip and the fact WWE's expanding into the India market itself and so Sony Six decided to cancel the thing and TNA's trying to spin-doctor it. Certainly no benefit in burning one potential crowd and turning away at least a possible source of some income when hopping networks to one barely any better than the one they're drowning on presently. Plus this is their third cancelled tour in two months. They just plain can't afford to be running shows anymore.

Cancelling this tour makes them look like amateurs and there's no way that they would intetionally do it...but then again Dixie Carter owns the company.

Why dont they just blame terrorists and reschedule, so many other types of entertainers have. The audience will be disappointed, but understand.

Now instead of Sheramania, we're probably going to get Bobbymania as in Bobby "I'm on Bellator" Generic Lashley.

I just remembered. This is the second time TNA "postponed" shows due to logistics. Remember, TNA cancelled their Gulf Coast Halloween tour because of "logistics". I'm guessing "logistics" in TNA-speak means "no one is f***ing interested in our s***ty show". ... Correction; THIRD TIME. www.wrestlezone.com/news/609995-tna-cancels-bound-for-glory-tour-dateThis was one of the dates for their “Road to Bound for Glory” tour. " Logistics", again. I can understand the logistics of going to tour overseas being tough enough to sink a tour, but ELMIRA?!

Not when what little dignity they have left and the integrity of pro wrestling as a whole (don't laugh) rests on him winning or losing a fight. And at least Bubby can wrestle.

Dixie Carter: "How hard can it be for us to get to India?"
*Points to map*
Dixie Carter: "See? It's right there, next to Ohio. This shouldn't be that difficult."

Have any of the two shows before this actually gone ahead eventually? So, do SOny Six have any legal comeback over this tour being postponed? I would imagine it would make them less keen to work with TNA in future, which is really not what you want right now. I know they're citing the terrorist implications, but I believe that as much as I did for Wrestlemania IX. I imagine Sony Six were the company doing the cancelling. Probably expected a huge boost in ticket sales in the 2-3 weeks before the show and when that didn't occur they cut their losses.

I wonder how many fights/arguments or even divorces were sparked by "sorry honey going to be difficult to do thanksgiving and Xmas with you and the kids, work really needs this tour" only for it to be for nothing.
Very short notice as well.

It was wrestlemania VII aka the one that moved from the coliseum to the sports arena because of tickets not selling fast enough and "Security concerns" due to a turncoat for a WWF Champion

Why would you ever buy a ticket to a TNA show in 2015? Knowing full well it's likely to get "postponed".

To be fair I can tell you where the U.K. and India, I can't tell you where in the backwoods Elmira is and I live in Nebraska.
