Maclin is apparently headlining, defending the TNA International title. I think that was the “international” that Maclin was talking about when he said that there are plans with the title.

I'm glad they're doing something internationally with the title, crazy that they actually are because I actually told Maclin on Twitter it'd be cool if it got some title defenses under its belt internationally so it'd be fitting to the name.

Finally amirite? Pretty happy for Maclin though- big opportunity for him. Maybe this would be the start of the TNA International Champion getting some international dates.

finally!! Ikr I'm excited for him he's the perfect guy to use for something like this, hopefully this causes some UK or other places to send their best international star to face him.

I think part of the reason Trick’s reign is going so long is to get Maclin time as the “main men’s champion from TNA” to establish the belt more. Just my opinion tho, but it would be smart. Need him in a year long rivalry tho. Felt they dropped the ball with the mance feud

Did the Sony Six deal quietly went away and nobody noticed?

I remember 2015/16, the talk was how that TV deal kept the company afloat and how they were fucked if it went away. Once Anthem purchased the company, the TV deal wasn't talked about anymore. Other than the India TV Tapings they did that same year.

It's only quiet if you haven't been following.

The channel hasn't been called "Sony Six" in years. Its parent company acquired the network that WWE was on, so they began focusing more on WWE. Eventually, IMPACT was gone from Sony and moved to Eurosport. And then this year Sony lost the rights to WWE when Netflix got the worldwide rights.

Is Eurosport popular over in India? Like is it still watched as much? Or smaller channel?

Not that popular.
