According to TNT Africa, the new professional wrestling is being headlined by members of The Elite (Cody & Brandi Rhodes, Matt & Nick Jackson, Kenny Omega and Hangman Page) as well as Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley, coloring the year with the most exciting and thrilling action.
For Kenyans who grew up watching the only national broadcasting then, this program will bring back more than the memories of the famous “Wrestling Program” commonly referred to by many as “Wreso”. For those with a passion for wrestling, the program offers fresh insights and techniques in the sport.
“TNT is excited to usher in a new era in entertainment that is attuned to our audience’s needs and appetite. Despite how far we’ve come, we remain steadfastly dedicated to giving our African audience premium content, and the launch of AEW DYNAMITE and the channel refresh bear testament of this,” added Mr Guillermo Farré.
At the same time, TNT Africa will continue to launch their exclusive, brand-new, TNT Original Movies on the channel on the first Thursday of every month. These include a wide range of mainstream entertainment genres, featuring renowned, and rising international stars.
Other exciting shows lined up include Splash and the Best Man Holiday to experience the accidental side of love on Valentine’s Day; Crank High Voltage and Point Break in February’s Adrenaline Rush stunt; Malcolm X and Just Cause will help viewers fight for their rights on Human Rights Day; and in April the Oscars with Academy Award-winning titles such as E.T and Gladiator.
