Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling has signed a deal with "American Ninja Warrior" producers A. Smith & Co. Productions to partner and develop a new professional wrestling TV series, described by Real Screen, which broke the news today, as "a new wrestling format within the sport while providing viewers with dramatic storylines and exclusive access to their favorite athletes."
The story notes that the series would take the GFW roster and present them in a similar "event style" to some of A. Smith & Co.'s other productions, such as FOXs "Hell's Kitchen." GFW has been taping and presenting some reality elements to videos they've released online to promote the Global Force Wrestling brand-name.
In a statement to Real Screen, Arthur Smith, CEO of A. Smith & Co. Productions said,“Global Force Wrestling is a complete reinvention of the sport that will really resonate with viewers – we’re taking what fans are traditionally used to seeing and flipping it on its head. All sports go through transitions, and wrestling is primed for its next evolution. We’re going to be adding a number of new features and elements that are going to completely change the entertainment level of the sport.”
Based on the wording of the article, it would appear this project under the GFW banner would be separate from the GFW Amped TV episodes that were taped last year in Las Vegas.
