Control Your Narrative and Pro Wrestling TV‘s broadcast deal came together in a very unexpected way.
Pro Wrestling TV President Brandon Blackburn recently sat down with Jim Alexander of Reel Talker to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked how the partnership between Pro Wrestling TV and Control Your Narrative came together, Blackburn revealed that it came together over an impromptu steak dinner.
“That actually took place at an impromptu steak dinner,” Brandon Blackburn revealed. “Happened to hit up the piano bar after dinner that night. On the other side of the restaurant, a guy you can’t miss in any room, named “The Titan” Adam Scherr was enjoying some steak that night. We just got to talking and PWTV was in its development stages, I told them what we were up to and he said call us Monday morning.”
When asked if he believes there is long-term potential in Control Your Narrative, Blackburn said the commitment he’s seen given to the promotion gives him the confidence that the company will be a long-term success.
“I was privy to some communication from some folks in the other parts of the industry. I saw it firsthand, their commitment to their promotion Control Your Narrative,” Brandon Blackburn said. “I saw that comes first and foremost. If there is anything that happens with the big dogs out there, CYN has to continue on in their role in it. I certainly have seen enough to give us confidence.”
Unlike many streaming services currently on the market, Pro Wrestling TV is free and features a few ads each hour. Blackburn believes the free model was very important for them when it came to launching the service.
“That was really important to us. It’s not hyperbole to say that people haven’t had to work harder to make a buck in this day and age, and we know every time we turn around there is some type of service looking to take some of those hard-earned dollars,” Brandon Blackburn said. “We wanted to put this out for free, the buy-in is that you will have a few ad-breaks an hour. The more we get to know you as a viewer they will be targeted towards your interests. You might even see some of your favorite wrestlers take part in those ads. In that sense, we really followed the Tubi TV model.”
