PWInsider.com broke on 3/9 that Coastal Championship Wrestling, which runs regularly in Florida and Nashville, TN began pre-production for their planned re-creation of mythical professional wrestling promotion Championship Wrestling from Florida.
The promotion has appointed Kevin Sullivan, obviously well versed in all things CWF, to act as Executive Producer and Creative Director of the new project.
Dave "Gangrel" Heath, has been tapped to work as the promotion's Head of Talent Relations and will work as a Producer as well.
Bill Alfonso, who can trace the roots of his career to CWF's original incarnation, where he was a referee, will also be working as a Producer and will handle Media Relations.
The current plan is that filming for the CWF series will commence this May with CWF branded events kicking off in July. This has been a long-gestating project for CCW and they are currently in discussions with numerous potential distribution partners with the idea of spotlighting the brand well beyond just the Sunshine State. The promotion filed for a trademark on the Championship Wrestling from Florida name back in January.
