Global Force Wrestling’s Jeff Jarrett recently spoke with Wrestledelphia‘s John Corrigan while promoting tomorrow night’s GFW live event in Erie, PA at Jerry Uht Park.
Jeff Jarrett Talks Global Force Wrestling & The Relationship With TNA:
“Well, I’ll say it’s a business relationship that came about in a real last minute jolt. It’s no secret that Global Force, as part of our business statement, that we want to connect fan bases, connect audiences, connect different styles of wrestling. We’re in the beginning of what I’ll call a talent trade.
I came back to TNA two weeks ago and made my return in the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary. We announced shortly thereafter that Bobby Roode is headed to Las Vegas for our TV tapings. We haven’t decided exactly how far we’ll go with this, but we’re definitely in discussion.”
Why Jarrett Came Back To TNA:
“Well, if you watched the interview on Destination America a few weeks ago, it was exactly how it went down. I got a text from TNA management, the text turned into a conference call, a conference call turned into meeting about them wanting me back. I wasn’t interested in wrestling at first, but they sort of tugged at the heart strings with the King of the Mountain match.
It goes without saying that it was a highly emotional several days. They wanted me back for the match, and I wanted to continue to promote and raise awareness for Global Force Wrestling. So far it’s been a win-win for both promotions.”
Jarrett talks how GFW mapped out the tour in smaller towns:
“You know, one of the biggest challenges in putting together the Grand Slam Tour was routing. We’re having our events in these stadiums when the home team is on the road so it’s a scheduling situation. The Erie Seawolves management has been great to work with and we came to a deal pretty quick. We’re also in discussions with several entities in New Jersey and New York and those are TBD. So it’s certainly nothing against the Philly area, we’re actually in discussions about that, but right now it’s all about routing.”
