Well, premium movie channels have been following toward the model of HBO with original programming/sports. More wrestling is great, but with WWE, TNA, and ROH already vying for attention I got to imagine Crossfire would have the rejects that couldn't make it on the big three or guys who are just starting to make their name.

I will be very surprised if this thing ever airs on "National TV." Lots of these upstart groups make big claims early on, but it never pans out. Or they shoot pilots that never get picked up. Or they buy infommercial time on said channel for a few weeks and realize it's a money pit and stop.

I don't understand the haters in here. Clearly you didn't check the website or even some of the posts in this very thread. Here is a picture from Goldust twitpic.com/afm6h0/fullI mean come on, there is a awesome guy taking a picture with an iPad! WWE better watch out because look at the adjective: taking! Jealous much?!

If they focus it on guys like MVP, Chris Masters, Carlito and Goldust, it will at least be a good wrestling show unless they're completely stupid.

Sorry, but what the heck network is EPIX. Mainly movie network, shows MGM and Lionsgate movies. It's a premium channel that launched in 2009. I recall it having a successful launch and getting in a good share of the HD digital cable markets, particularly ones with FiOS. They do a great job with their on-demand marketing. Not a bad spot to be in.

Guys 3/4 of that roster won't be on their show. They are signed to other contracts elsewhere. That is what I mean by "it will have nothing". Expect Pudgy Bad Haired Indy Guy #1 vs. Pudgy Bad Haired Indy Guy #2? I mark for Pudgy Bad Haired Indy Guy #13. He's gonna create a new boom period.

Jimmy Vegas is a mainstay of the Pittsburgh scene. He was a fairly big deal locally about a decade ago, mainly due to his physique. The guy was ripped - like "on the gas" ripped. He didn't look like Scott Steiner or anything, but he definitely was "big." While he wasn't the worst wrestler in the world, his complete and total lack of charisma didn't do him any favors. When he was pared with/up against a guy who could really work a crowd, he was fine. When he was forced to carry a match himself... yikes.

On the Raw Afterbuzz show Maria Kanellis said she's in charge of the women's division at Crossfire Wrestling.

These guys taped their shows last night. I can't find results but pictures on Facebook show they had such names as Shane Helms, Chris Masters, Carlito, Sami Callihan, Cheerleader Melissa, and Colt Cabana.
They also had Kevin Sullivan, Ricky Morton, Roddy Piper, and some very generic indie looking guys.

Interesting. Any news on a network or an air date?
I'd check it out. Though indy promotions have a bad habit of putting guys on their "roster" page who they talked to on the phone once, or saw on TV.

I'm located in Tennessee and these guys are Nashville based, yet I can't find any such info such as what station this will be on and when.

I would be willing to watch it once,It sounds like live it would be fun due to getting to meet so many former WWE and TNA stars also matt original you were alot nicer than the ROH crowd when it comes to Hardy,I watched ROH last weekend and they were booing Hardy so loud and cussing that half his match and entrance had to be censored cause you heard the sound going in and out with eff you hardy chants.

I love how half of the roster pics are stolen from WWE or TNA (especially noticable on Matt Hardy, who has the Raven hairdo)
