PARAGON PRO WRESTLING (PPW) ANNOUNCES IT WILL DEBUT ON POP TV SATURDAY, JULY 4TH.
June 15, 2015 – LAS VEGAS — Beginning Saturday, July 4th, Paragon Pro Wrestling will air on POP TV every Saturday at 6:00am across the country. When informed of the debut date and time slot, PPW commentator, Jeff Akin, said, “This is incredible! What better day to launch a celebration in pro wrestling that the 4th of July! This reminds me of waking up with my older brothers and watching Saturday morning wrestling back when I was a kid.”
With a roster of top competitors, Paragon Pro Wrestling will finally bring the excitement of “old school” professional wrestling back to network television. Competitors like Gangrel, “Big Money” Tyshaun Prince, Wes Brisco and the Paragon Pro Wrestling Champion, Jessy Sorenson, have found the arena in which they will face the best in the sport today.

The deal will be with Pop TV, formerly known as the TV Guide Network. The channel is available in standard definition on both DirecTV and Dish Network, and high definition on Verizon FiOS. The channel is a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Lions Gate Entertainment. The channel is available in 80 million homes.
PPW features talent from the southern California area, and has also seen the likes of former WWE talents Gangrel and Victoria. It appears that former TNA announcer Todd Kenely will be handling announcing duties for the show.

The roster was told that the show will debut sometime this summer.
