TNA & GFW Talking With Same Networks

TNA Impact

It’s being reported by Wrestling Observer Newsletter that TNA Impact Wrestling & Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling have been in talks with the same TV networks because very few networks are interested in picking up pro wrestling.

global-force-wrestling

TNA has the upper-hand over GFW because they are operational, have history & have stars under contract. Spike TV not renewing TNA is making it harder for GFW to get a TV deal.

Another issue for TNA is that most of the networks that TNA are rumored to be talking with don’t air in Canada. There has always been strong support for pro wrestling in Canada.
