NWA President Reportedly Meets with Spike TV Officials



- NWA President Bruce Tharpe, who also works as a heel manager in New Japan Pro Wrestling, recently had a meeting with Spike TV officials in New York City about getting one of the world's oldest pro wrestling brands on the network.

Spike officials have stated there is some interest in bringing back pro wrestling but nothing is on the table right now, for the NWA or any other promotion. Tharpe was basically told the same thing, that right now Spike isn't making any moves with wrestling.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that Spike is trying to run shows that have more appeal to women than pro wrestling does. With that said, Tharpe is looking at other options to bring the NWA to TV.

Yeah, we all want to see Jax Dane, Kahagas or Big Daddy Yum Yum () on TV.

Lol Spike TV tries to market themselves as the manly man channel for men

...currently trying to offer more programming that appeals to women.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

I feel like Spike TV thought it had something to do with N.W.A. The minute they find out they were dealing with another wrestling company they were like.

 

[Alexander The Great]

merge the N.W.A with T.N.A & R.O.H

 

[Mastamimd]

merge the N.W.A with T.N.A & R.O.H

Or at least do cross promotional matches between them in addition to NJPW

The only way to make the E sweat IMO. And if the smarks wanted the E to make a better product they would stop watching.

 

[Silkk]

merge the N.W.A with T.N.A & R.O.H

FOH with that
