Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that NWA President Bruce Tharpe, who also works a heel manager in New Japan Pro Wrestling, recently meet with Spike TV officials in New York City about trying to get one of the world’s oldest pro wrestling brands on the network.
Spike TV officials have stated that there is some interest in bringing back pro wrestling to the network but nothing is on the table right now, for any wrestling promotion.
Spike TV is trying to run shows that have more appeal to woman than pro wrestling does. Tharpe is looking at other options to bring NWA to TV.
