MLW announces deal with Vice TV
Major League Wrestling and Vice TV announced a new weekly television deal tonight via a YouTube announcement.
Details are unavailable as to what the time slot will be, but it will be a weekly show that will start up with archive content to expose the key talent before going with new tapings that will be announced shortly.
The announcement said “coming this spring.”
The deal is not exclusive as MLW will continue with both programming on BeIn Sports as well planning for special live events on DAZN which haven’t started yet due to the pandemic. Library content will also remain on DAZN. The company is also in talks for a new streaming deal.
Vice TV has had great success with Dark Side of the Ring, the most popular show in the history of their network, but this will be the first time they have expanded to add a regular weekly pro wrestling show. Those shows will cross promote each other.
