With TNA currently shopping around Impact Wrestling in hopes of landing a new home for their flagship show in 2015, it appears that they’ve got some competition in Jeff Jarrett’s upstart Global Force Wrestling promotion.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, both TNA and Global Force are negotiating with several of the same networks in hopes of securing a TV deal for next year. It’s been rumored that TNA the companies TNA has been in talks with include CMT, WGN and Velocity.
It’s believed that TNA has the upper hand over Global Force, since TNA is an operational company with a proven track record of drawing approximately 1 million viewers per week.
On the downside (for both companies), general interest in new wrestling programming is limited and Spike TV not renewing Impact does not help the leverage of either company.
Another issue with TNA’s TV negotiations is that most of the stations they are talking with do not air in Canada, which has always been a strong region for pro wrestling.
