TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- First Canadian American Holding Corporation (Pink Sheets:FCDH) announces today that The Fight Network Inc, has signed an exclusive (Canadian) programming deal with U.S. based professional wrestling promotion TNA Wrestling for its dynamic weekly show, Xplosion.
This agreement will see The Fight Network air Xplosion on both Mondays and Thursdays each and every week. It will be the first time Xplosion has ever been available to wrestling fans in Canada.
"TNA stands for Total Non Stop Action and the product certainly lives up to its name," said Brian Sobie, VP of Programming and Production for the Network. "Month after month we see TNA stars like Jeff Jarrett, Raven, Jeff Hardy, A.J. Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe put on incredible performances on TNA pay-per-views. Now we can expose this fantastic product to Canadian wrestling fans on a weekly basis."
"The Fight Network understands how we are trying to build out a global brand," said Dixie Carter, President of TNA Entertainment. "We believe Canadian wrestling fans will appreciate the athletic entertainment we offer. In fact, some of the most exciting talent in TNA is a group called "Team Canada." They have been consistently jeered by American fans, but I'm confident that they will get an entirely different reaction from fans watching them on The Fight Network in Canada."
