Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling issued the following:
Boulder International to distribute TV programming
Sept. 14, 2015 – NASHVILLE – Global Force Wrestling has signed an international TV distribution deal with London-based sales and production house Boulder Creek International (BCI), which will make GFW’s “Amped” programs available beginning in November.
BCI has made a name for itself producing such programming as Wild Spirits, Wild Spirits H2O, Wild Surf and Better Than 4 and broadcast in more than 100 countries worldwide. Amongst its catalogue of documentaries, sports, music, comedy and lifestyle shows; International, Revolution Series Track Cycling, The Go Big Project, Street Velodrome and Cape-to-Cape Australia.
“We are thrilled to continue our international growth and partner with BCI, an industry leader that inherently understands our product, brand vision and ultimately our fans,” GFW founder and CEO Jeff Jarrett said. “We look forward to BCI helping us bring a variety of entertainment properties to our fans around the world.”
Matt Jeschelnik, managing director of BCI is excited to be associated with the GFW brand.
“I have always wanted to work with Jeff,” Jeschelnik said. ” I admire his business acumen and his ability to make truly entertaining content. I am delighted that Jeff has chosen BCI to distribute GFW, and look forward to announcing our broadcast partners.”
The next GFW Amped tapings at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas take place on Oct. 23. Champions will be decided in all four divisions- NEX*GEN, Women’s, Tag Team and Global (heavyweight). Among those scheduled to appear are Nick Aldis, Bobby Roode, Chris Mordetzky, PJ Black, Jigsaw, Reno SCUM, the Bollywood Boyz, Christina Von Eerie and “Bullet Babe” Amber Gallows.
According to PWInsider, Global Force Wrestling’s Jeff Jarrett may have signed GFW’s first international TV deal. Jarrett was reportedly in the UK last week negotiating a TV deal for that market.
GFW is expected to make announcements next week.
Global Force Wrestling founder Jeff Jarrett talked to RVA MAG recently about finding a TV deal.
Finding a TV deal for GFW:
“We are making moves. It’s been a real challenge for us to line up a domestic situation as well as international deals. I’m heading over to London in a couple of weeks to further those moves. The first set of tapings were great. We got plenty of one hour episodes and we’ve got the crowning of the champions in October. With that and the Grand Slam tour as well, it’s been no rest for the weary, but it’s exciting time in the still the very early days of Global Force Wrestling.”
Possibly airing on Netflix or Hulu:
“All of the above and I don’t want to specifically say Netflix or Hulu. The world of 2015 is so interesting. You wouldn’t be asking that question even, what would you say, two or three years ago? It’s interesting just how everyone consumes their information. Not just wrestling or television. Your phone is a source of news, entertainment, games, apps. It’s just a different world. I’ve said it for a year now: my goal is if you’re a GFW fan, you’ll have access to watch it all across the globe. There’s a huge component to that. I won’t call it streaming, but there’s a big component in the online world for Global Force.”
Working with TNA again:
“You know, it’s a business. My family’s been in this business for over 70 years so I’ve seen a lot of situations where you’d say those folks would never work together again and they did. Business is business and when it’s a win-win-win-a win for our promotion, a win for their promotion, and more importantly, a win for the wrestling fan – it’s really hard not to do a deal. So we put a lot of things in the past and in our rear view mirrors on both sides and moved forward. It’s a pretty exciting time. All the positive momentum that’s coming from the working relationship between TNA and GFW is just a great thing.”
