A new promotion named Global League Wrestling is set to launch in India next month, with the Great Khali involved. Best Media Info reports that the promotion will be carried on the digital platform DD and premiere on October 4th, with an official unveiling set for September 17th. The first season will run for 40 weeks and will include “family-oriented programming.”

“Wrestling transformed my life and gave me a global platform. GLW presents a serious, structured, and entertaining opportunity for the next generation of Indian athletes to follow that same path. GLW will help them shine on Indian and global stages, on our own terms.”
