 |  Subject: TNA announces official training program with WWE's former developmental territory OVW! Mon 07 Nov 2011, 9:08 pm | |

TNA announced Monday an "exclusive relationship" with Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) to be TNA's official training and developmental territory.
OVW owner Danny Davis will work closely with TNA executive Bruce Prichard "in the
development of the talent through training, live events, and weekly television production
allowing talent to explore every aspect of the business."
TNA developmental talent will begin arriving at OVW to begin an "extensive training program." Talent will be selected for the program by Prichard and TNA management, "who will be monitoring the progress of each wrestler at camp and the live events."
OVW was previously WWE's official training facility prior to WWE switching to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in Tampa. Also, OVW has a close working relationship with Ring of Honor and the OVW Arena hosted ROH's latest TV taping on Saturday.
It remains to be seen how the OVW-ROH relationship is affected by TNA's new working agreement with OVW.
Caldwell's Analysis: TNA has long needed an official developmental program/territory/school, so this is a step in the right direction for the company as it tries to develop new talent, which is the lifeblood of a nationally-televised, 52-weeks-per-year wrestling promotion. | |
