TNA Genesis

Genesis is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view 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.

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.
