Jeff Jarrett Talks WWE TLC, Reveals Future Plans for Global Force Wrestling; Will They Launch Their Own Promotion?

jeff jarrettOne of the major questions in wrestling is the future of Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling brand, and exactly what it is. GFW is responsible for bringing the New Japan Tokyo Dome show to U.S. pay-per-view for the first time on January 4th, and has been in talks with dozens of promotions around the world, but they have never announced official plans to roll out their own show. 

This week, the “King of the Mountain” and TNA co-founder sat down with WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross to reveal major plans for the future. 

“We’re going to have our own roster, with our own distribution model, with our own live events, sponsorship and everything that goes with it … In years past, each wrestling promotion acted within its own world. I have a 180-degree philosophy. New Japan exists and they’re thriving. AAA in Mexico exists and they’re thriving. There are many promotions around the world … We are going to promote them, and they’ll promote us. We’re going to find talent and put them on a grand stage, and we’re going to have a talent exchange, because I believe that makes the business healthy.” 

Jarrett noted that he did not want to rush the product like so many companies have done with wrestling promotions, only to fall on their face. Their goal is to continue getting the brand out there, and creating a partnership with people like New Japan that will help create a growing interest for Global Force Wrestling by the time they launch their own show.
