Productions to partner and develop a new professional wrestling TV series, according to a report from Real Screen who described the series a new wrestling format within the sport that provides viewers with dramatic storylines and exclusive access to their favorite athletes and that the series would take the Global Force Wrestling roster and present them in a similar event style to some of A.

In a statement released to Real Screen, Arthur Smith, the CEO of A. Smith & Co. productions commented on the deal stating, “Global Force Wrestling is a complete reinvention of the sport that will really resonate with viewers – we’re taking what fans are traditionally used to seeing and flipping it on its head.
