GFW Vice President of Production Kevin Sullivan took to Twitter to blast the SI report from earlier this week that stated that Anthem Sports was looking to sell GFW. According to the SI article, “GFW is hemorrhaging funds, and sources close to the situation have confirmed that Anthem is ready to withdraw itself from the wrestling industry and sell GFW.”
Sullivan called the story “BS” and tweeted the following:
@SInow when did it become ok to print bs? As a journalism major, I find your fact checking to be less than diligent.
@SInow will you be following up with another story with the facts? @GFWWrestling is: Launching the Global Wrestling Network.
Is launching on Pluto TV. Is launching in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, via ran FIGHTING. And extended their deal on @PopTV
@SInow “Anthem is committed to broadening Global Force Wrestling’s footprint, as we work alongside international broadcast partners…
@SInow “…digital platforms and professional wrestling promotions to bring our passionate fans a high-quality product…
@SInow “…that not only stands out in today’s media landscape, but continues to thrive into the future.”
@SInow Uncertain future?
PWInsider reported that the discussion at this week’s GFW meetings centered around the company’s plans going forward. It was noted that there “was no inkling of plans to shut down or sell off the video library.” The report added that that there has been no indication from the WWE front that there have been discussions to purchase the tape library.
