From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genesis was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event promoted by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling . The name was originally used on May 9, 2003 for a two-hour DirecTV special that highlighted early moments in TNA’s history.[ 1]
TNA Genesis Logo Genesis was actually not amongst the original names used by TNA for its first twelve pay-per-view events, but ultimately was added to the rotation as the thirteenth pay-per-view name during a time of name shuffling on the part of TNA Management. All shows except for one has been held at the Impact Wrestling Zone . Originally Genesis was held in November but was changed to January starting in 2009. For this reason 2008 didn't have a Genesis PPV event. There have only been five World Championship matches in the main event. On January 16, 2014, Genesis was televised as an Impact Wrestling Spike TV .
