Paramount is getting in the ring with Wrestling Central.
Paramount Global Content Distribution is launching an all-wrestling FAST channel called Wrestling Central. The new channel will launch soon on The Roku Channel in the United States and Canada.
Wrestling Central will feature “new weekly matches from WOW – Women Of Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) along with an extensive library of content including classic episodes, never-before-seen matches, specials and documentaries.”
“We are thrilled to be launching a new wrestling FAST channel which includes WOW – Women Of Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance to a wider audience,” says Dan Cohen, Chief Content Licensing Officer, Paramount and President, Republic Pictures. “This new FAST Channel premiering exclusively on The Roku Channel from two of the most exciting wrestling promotions will offer fans an exclusive and unique destination to catch both new, action-packed matches along with hundreds of hours of classic library content.”
The National Wrestling Alliance is one of the most storied wrestling promotions in history. It is now owned by Billy Corgan and boasts names like current NWA World Champions Thom Latimer and Kenzie Paige. In 2017, rockstar Billy Corgan purchased the NWA to restore the alliance to its former glory. The NWA currently airs content on the Twitter/X and YouTube platforms, as well as an unscripted series (“Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland”) that streams on Peacock.
WOW – Women Of Wrestling is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. It is an all-female wrestling promotion co-owned and co-founded by trailblazing sports executive Jeanie Buss and David McLane. Currently in its third season, WOW is described as an “action-packed saga that plays out at high-energy live events and in weekly syndication. As the only all-female wrestling organization with a global footprint, WOW showcases supreme athleticism, dramatic and inspiring stories, and is centered 24/7 around empowering and uplifting women and fans around the world.”
