History
In 2011, TNA announced a project in India. The project was revealed to be an original televised wrestling program intended for the Indian market, titled ''Ring Ka King.'' The promotion was managed by Jeff Jarrett. Jeremy Borash, Dave Lagana and Sonjay Dutt helped Jarrett with management.
''Ring Ka King'' was taped in India, and featured both Indian and non-Indian wrestlers performing on the show. A majority of the non-Indian wrestlers were under contract with TNA; this included Zema Ion, Scott Steiner, and Abyss, among others. Independent wrestlers Sonjay Dutt, Isaiah Cash and American Adonis were also featured on the show.
After the first season of ''Ring Ka King'', TNA expressed doubts that a second would be produced.
