TNA WRESTLING NEWS

The date and location of this year’s Slammiversary pay-per-view has been officially announced.

Prowrestlingtees.com now has the only official Perro Aguayo Jr. tribute shirt, with proceeds going to help his remaining family. It’s genuinely a really awesome shirt, and I’m looking forward to picking one up in a few weeks.
