ORIGINAL: According to reports, FloSports (a tech company that is built around live, streaming subscription content) has been in contact with a number of top independent professional wrestling companies. The company has been streaming live sports over the last year; they have also been meeting with independent companies about bringing that content to their platform. Announcements should be coming this week, in regards to companies announcing their shift over to FloSports for streaming events.
There has been some excitement regarding a new money player putting some money into an independent wrestling promotion. We expect more news over the next week or so.
In related news, WWE was part of an investor group for FloSports. The company announced the investor group for the Series B $21.2 million funding. It also includes Discovery Communications and Causeway Media Partners. It’s unknown how much WWE invested.
