Why not try a weekly PPV internet program like the early days of TNA but on the internet? If promoted right through social media it would probably do decently well.

Back in 2002 when TNA started, people were pirating things as often and PPV was something important. If they were to do anything thats non-TV, I would try to get Youtube to give them a distribution deal and promote the show through Youtube. It's the most viable and cheapest option out there if you think about it.

They do tapings for months in advance.

Should try sell it in seasonal increments for Netflix.

they would need to have a huge fan base before netflix would even consider having them on the network...if GWF was willing to give their programming for free, then maybe. But I doubt that would happen.

They need to find an outlet thats willing to coexist. Or, in reality, launch the GWF Network. They can control their revenue and their streaming. Or partner with other outlets and great The World Wrestling Network.

They try their own streaming service they would go bankrupt paying for the bandwidth.

This isn't some Libsyn shit.

Netflix, Hulu, Shomi, Crave, Yahoo! or whatever type of streaming service already provided all they need is the footage.

Destination America seems to be taken.

And Fight Network only has so many hours for wrestling.

And the card:
Sonjay Dutt vs. Jamin Olivencia
Lei'D Tapa vs. Thea Trinidad
Tate Twins vs. Best Friends
Kevin Matthews vs. Moose
The Bullet Club (Gallows/Anderson) vs. New Heavenly Bodies
Chris Mordetzky (aka Chris Masters) vs. Dustin Starr
The "New" Heavenly Bodies? That will put butts in the seats.

I wonder if Jeff is just going to buy a majority stake and do away with this GFW idea?

Magnus is going to be working a few dates for GFW, as is Mickie James.

How is that different than working any other Indy? GFWs roster looks like any other show I see advertised in the indie section.

Anyone are the turnout for their big tapings? Was embarrassing.
