classiq. Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 AXS TV, known for broadcasting NJPW’s English commentated events, will bring a women’s wrestling show to its network. The company will partner with WOW-Women of Wrestling, Jeanie Buss, Mark Burnett (also Lucha Underground producer), and the original GLOW Founder David McLane and MGM Television to broadcast WOW events. AXS TV, which is a partnership between Mark Cuban, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), TV and radio personality Ryan Seacrest and talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), will provide the television production and cable, satellite and telco distribution for WOW events. The WOW Superhero events are action-packed all-female pro wrestling bouts presented with the theatrical flair of a major concert. The matches pit skilled, compelling wrestlers against each other, as their unique personalities generate intense feelings from WOW’s large and dedicated fan base. “I knew of Jeanie’s passion for elevating women’s wrestling for several years, so when Mark Burnett told me what MGM Studios has planned for WOW, I decided to get involved,” AXS TV Chairman and CEO Mark Cuban said. “AXS TV’s long-term success inside the squared circle and broadcasting New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) makes airing WOW a natural fit.” AXS TV will start recording WOW events in Los Angeles later this year, for broadcast beginning in early 2019. Information on the date, venue and ticket sales will be announced soon.

Motown Saint Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I heard about this a little while ago. New Japan on AXS has always had excellent quality, and I know I might be in the minority, but I actually enjoy JR and Josh Barnett's commentary. Hopefully Women of Wrestling will be just as good.
