The original TNA business model differed from that employed by WWE in several key ways. By not touring like other major companies had done, TNA could keep costs down. Until the introduction of the syndicated show, TNA Xplosion, in late 2002, TNA's weekly pay-per-view show operated as the company's main source of revenue, in place of monthly pay-per-view events used by other promotions.These shows started on June 19, 2002 and were held mostly at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville to lower production costs.After 27 months, TNA felt that they had a fanbase that would support three-hour pay-per-views and ceased their weekly shows on September 8, 2004.TNA held its first three-hour monthly pay-per-view, Victory Road, on November 7, 2004.Just like WWE Professional wrestling has its "WWE Divas" female wrestlers, its competitor Total Nonstop Action has its own wrestling women. The TNA women wrestlers are known as the TNA Knockouts. The Knockouts are a sexy yet tough bunch of women's wrestlers featuring some of the craziest and most beautiful women on the planet! They include femme fatales such as Christy Hemme, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, Taylor Wilde, Tara, Sarita, Traci Brooks and Sharmelle!

Five thousand girls nationwide wrestled in high school in the 2006-7 academic year, yet only eight colleges offer it as a varsity sport. Three of those eight programs are starting this fall.
