TNA Wrestling is taking the action to the softball field.
On Sunday, July 20, TNA will take over Elmont, New York, for its Slammiversary pay-per-view. The day before, its wrestlers will temporarily trade in their wrestling boots for cleats as they battle the coaching staff of the Merrick Bellmore Little League Association in a charity softball game.
