OVW is forging ahead with a new television project independently, after plans with Netflix fell through. The Ohio Valley Wrestling promotion announced it will proceed with production of a weekly show, despite previous arrangements for distribution via the streaming giant dissolving.
The progress marks a significant shift for OVW, a promotion with a long history of developing wrestling talent-including numerous WWE stars-and a dedicated regional fanbase. While the Netflix deal represented a potential avenue for broader exposure, OVW is now focused on establishing its own broadcast platform. Details regarding the show’s format, premiere date, and distribution channels are expected to be revealed shortly. The promotion has emphasized a commitment to delivering quality wrestling content,and is asking fans to contribute to a positive online habitat surrounding the new project,with strict moderation policies in place to prevent the forum from becoming like social media. New users are required to create memberships and adhere to established rules and guidelines, enforced automatically by a ”mod bot.”
