Basically, it’s the MLW route, minus the BeIN Sports television piece. Which will help them get eyeballs on the product, because there aren’t a ton of obstacles to checking out free wrestling at your leisure on any internet-enabled device. Whether or not fans keep coming back after checking it out will be key to monetizing the show online, and getting it on television.
The NWA also announced what POWER will be building to - their next pay-per-view (PPV) is set for Sat., Dec. 14 in Atlanta.
This week’s tapings (they’re also filming tomorrow) will feature a Worlds Heavyweight title match between champ Nick Aldis and Tim Storm. All of the NWA’s champions and most recognizable names are set to be there - National champion James Storm, NWA World Tag Team champs Royce Isaacs & Thom Latimer, Women’s World champion Allysin Kay, Eli Drake, The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express, Colt Cabana, and more.
Who’s gonna watch?
