GFW STREAMS
Posted: 102417

Impact Wrestling's Global Wrestling Network has been launched with 850 to 900 hours of content and a $7.99 monthly price point, according to Ed Nordholm, the Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports and Entertainment. On a recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Radio he told the hosts their goal is to break even and eventually make money but they knew it wasn’t going to happen overnight. The service has a free tier and anyone who signs up gets a one-month free trial period. The free tier includes episodes of Impact Wrestling released ten days after they air on Pop TV. If you want to watch older material you get the 900 hours of content and have to pay for it. Nordholm wants the streaming service to include content from other promotions. That would include AAA, NOAH or even New Japan. When asked about selling the library to WWE he isn’t interested. The price isn’t high enough for him to sell and he figures it makes more sense to keep the library and make money off it.
