TNA Wrestling: British Boot Camp is a British reality television programme focusing on the professional wrestling industry. The programme documents the careers of four British professional wrestlers who are seeking a contract with the American professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). The series was commissioned from TNA Productions by BSkyB and aired on Challenge from 1–22 January 2013.
TNA Wrestling: British Boot Camp is both the first non-game show commissioned for Challenge by BSkyB and the first American professional wrestling programme exclusively created and broadcast for the British market. The commissioning of the series reflected a commitment by BSkyB to invest £600 million in British-made television content by 2014. The show's executive producer is veteran TNA Wrestling announcer Jeremy Borash, who created the show and edited the programme himself.
