Update On An Indy Wrestling Promotion Closing, WWE/TNA/ROH

— Here is some more on the closing of New England Championship Wrestling. To add to the last update, the decision to go on television via Comcast Sportsnet New England ended up badly for the company. The show was originally supposed to air in the Comcast Sportsnet’s main cable network in the area, but after the series got attention in Boston newspapers, Comcast decided that they had issues with the content of the show. The show was then placed on the network’s video on demand service, where it was seen by only a small fraction of the originally intended audience. The show did good VOD numbers, but live attendance began to drop, and that is where things started to get bad for the company. As for his partners breaking away to restart the PWF, promoter Sheldon Goldberg was not aware of their plans until after he made the call to shut down the company. Along with the five weeks of TV that were shot, “best of” episodes will also run to fill the void until their contract expires in December.
