TNA Wrestling has been breaking company attendance records in bigger venues and generating more buzz within the industry. The timing for all this growth couldn’t have come at a better time with Bound for Glory, its biggest show of the year, on the horizon. Leading up to the October 12 pay-per-view, the collaboration between TNA and WWE’s NXT brand has also taken an unexpected turn. Some of the best from each side have put together teams to square off against one another in a special Showdown episode of NXT October 7 on The CW.
Needless to say it has been a busy time for Carlos Silva, who fully took the reins of TNA in February after already being named president of Anthem Sports Group last December. Anthem is a Canadian multinational media company that has sports and entertainment properties like TNA and AXS TV in its media portfolio.
