    MORE DETAILS ON GFW STREAMING SERVICE!


    Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions' President Ed Nordholm revealed the following details to media today.


    They are planning to launch the Global Wrestling Network with their own content and estimated 3,000 hours in their library with 800 hours already up and ready to go when the streaming service launches next week. They are hopeful adding content from other promotions they are working with (NOAH, AAA, The Crash).


    The GFW streaming service will be launched next week and will be on iOS and have a web version at launch with hopes of adding it to Roku and Apple TV in the future for phase two and will be $7.99/month with a free tier as well with a 30-day trial period being offered as well.


    In North America, Impact will be added to the free-tier of the app 10-days after it airs on POP TV.


    Nordholm did cite poor experiences that certain promotions had with the former TNA in the past that have proven to be a challenge when attempting to form working agreements today, however he specifically noted Joe Koff (ROH) and Dorian Roldan (AAA) as great people to deal with.


    Noch was von Nordholm über Jeff


    Jeff Jarrett's Status;


    He hopes Jeff Jarrett is not gone long but won?t be available for the time being with Scott D?Amore and Sonjay Dutt being two key people brought in by Jarrett during his time there.(D?Amore, Dutt and John Gaburick will comprise the creative team).


    There will be a conference call next week with Nordholm, D?Amore, Dutt and John Gaburick to discuss the situation.

  • Das liest sich doch so,wie Yardie es oben vermutet hat,und man anscheinend an Jeff Jarrett festhalte möchte! Man sieht auch,wie wichtig er für die Verhandlungen ist, wenn Deals wie der mit Rey zu platzen drohen!


    Man startet quasi jetzt mit dem Network? Ist das nicht alles überstürzt und bedarf eigentlich mehr Vorplanung?!

    Anthem betreibt ja bereits das Fight Network und dürfte über entsprechende erfahrung bzw. technisches knowhow verfügen.

  • finde ich jetzt nicht negativ. er hat immerhin verpflichtungen wie EC3, Eli Drake, Lashley... mitzuverantworten.


    Zitat

    "Much like EC3, Eli Drake’s prior work and relationship with Impact’s Executive Vice President of Creative and Talent Relations, John Gaburick, proved to be the driving force for getting him to TNA."

    vielleicht gräbt er ja das nächste grosse talent aus. das neue Anthem/Jarrett regime hat ja eher auf etablierte namen wie Alberto und Mundo gesetzt.

  • Ich verbinde mit ihm sehr schlechtes Booking. Wurde er nicht damals gefeuert, weil er Dixie übereden wollte an WWE zu verkaufen?


    Glaube AJ hat damals auch gesagt, er wäre einer der Gründe war er ging. Also das erste mal als AJ ging.

  • Gefeuert wurde Gaburick nie. Da er ein Vertrauter von Dixie war, wurde er nach dem Regime-Change nur von den entscheidenden Posten entfernt, jetzt da Jarrett die Auszeit nimmt, ist er für Nordholm wohl sowas wie der Back-Up-Plan.


    Gaburick war unter Dixie neben der Kreativabteilung auch für den Talent Relations Bereich zuständig und somit für Neuverpflichtungen und Vertragsverlängerungen verantwortlich. AJ Styles hat er aufgrund von Sparzwängen z.B. ein wenig lukratives Angebot unterbreitet, da er angeblich der Meinung war, dass AJ abseits von TNA eh keine Optionen haben dürfte und somit auf das Angebot eingehen würde. Da lag er bekanntlich daneben.

  • Highlights from this afternoon's Global Force Wrestling conference call with Creative Team Members Scott D'Amore, Sonjay Dutt and John "Big" Gaburick:


    *Ross Forman started the call noting there are no updates on Jeff Jarrett or his status and asked that reporters not ask about him.


    *Alberto el Patron is figured into plans as of Bound for Glory and beyond.


    *There have been some changes to existing plans that were set before Jeff Jarrett took his leave of absence but they did not go specifically into what those may have been with D'Amore pointing out that wrestling is always "fluid."


    *On talent, they are continuing to develop talents and didn't rule out some might be cycled out while others are given a chance, with D'Amore stating that's part of the wrestling business.


    When asked, they did not address the GFW name situation and said they were putting their energies into the best creative possible for the company, no matter what it may be called.


    *Dutch Mantel remains on the creative team and is part of the process.


    *On the Justin Barrasso story that Anthem is looking to sell GFW, they referred everyone to Ed Nordholm's comments last week shooting that down.


    *They confirmed Low Ki is done with the company and noted he was on a short term deal. Ki walked out shaking everyone's hands and told D'Amore and Dutt it was one of the more positive experiences in his career. They did not close the book on a return down the line.


    *When asked about the status of Eddie Kingston, who all but disappeared after Anthem took over the company, Scott D'Amore admitted "we don't know" and said they would have to see where his contract stands and what plans are made going forward.


    *They put over the Global Wrestling Network as a huge potential for not just their companies for others because it would allow for a place where their content can be distributed. D'Amore noted that as a content provider (he has long promoted Canada's Border City Wrestling) it has gotten harder to get material out to the masses as digital media has replaced VHS and DVD.


    *Sonjay specifically commented on being part of the creative team, noting it's been a transition that has taken place over five years after Jeff Jarrett tapped him to help with projects like King Ka King and the All Wheels Wrestling. He worked on the Amped! shows Jarrett produced and this is his highest profile position to date. He noted that he's a 35 year old wrestler who still works a lot on the indies and has his ear to the ground and that allows him to bring a different perspective than D'Amore or Gaburick.


    *Gaburick denied there were plans for Rey Mysterio to work Bound for Glory. As we reported on 8/23, negotiations between those two sides ended without a deal.
