PWU's Johnny Kashmere and Matt Jolles (listed as the producer of the specials) contacted PWInsider.com last night, stating that a third party "BMG Marketing" was involved with bankrolling the project airing on Versus, which sounds as if the "specials" could air as an infomercial on the network, but not be official programming for the network itself. I did ask Versus Senior Publicist Katie Bradshaw about that possibility yesterday, but she dismissed it.
Kashmere and Jolles also provided PWInsider.com with a forwarded email from a staff member of the Pennsylvania Convention Center's sales department, noting the same dates PWU had touted as their taping dates in the venue. However, in speaking to the same staffer (who asked that her name be withheld, as she was not happy her name was being published online), she stated that they did a tour of the venue with PWU officials but as of this morning "nothing had been put to paper."
So, that's where it all stands. PWU announced a 12/9 press conference in NYC, so they have until then to get their ducks in a row.
