Official Announcement On TNA Tour Being Postponed, Another Issue Besides Safety?
- The following was issued by MSM in regards to TNA's tour of India being postponed until 2016.

This announcement states the tour is being postponed due to logistical issues also, but primarily the timing of the event.
