A Brief History Of World Wrestling All-Stars
1. Future
In June 2017, 14 years after WWA officially closed its doors, it was announced via press release that Andrew McManus had sold the company to Wade Brewer.
Brewer had actually applied for a registered trademark of “WWA World Wrestling All-Stars” back in February, confirming that the deal had been in the works for some time. However, the sudden purchase after over a decade of inactivity raises a large number of questions around the forgotten wrestling league.
The trademark application mentions live entertainment and events as well as merchandising options, which would indicate that Brewer has his sights set on relaunching the brand as a touring entity. Also, the “events” tab on the official WWA website has a page dedicated to “upcoming events” which, although currently empty, would also imply future bookings are on the cards.
Meanwhile, WWA has officially begun partnering with Highspots Wrestling Network, having made their first two PPVs - Inception and Revolution - available on the streaming service. WWA has also launched its social media presence, with official Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram accounts all becoming active over June and July.
With WWA’s history with Jeff Jarrett and TNA, could we see Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling team with the relaunched WWA? With Jarrett dedicated to making his company a true global brand, this seems like a logical step for GFW.
As for WWA, time will tell what the future holds, but all signs point to an eventual resurrection. Until then, the wrestling world will have to wait and see.
