Double J Announces G.F.W. (Global Force Wrestling)

We previously reported many of the names on the Global Force Wrestling roster will only be working non-televised live events, so there are no conflicts with their existing deals with respective companies.

TNA and Ring of Honor won’t allow contracted talent to work for GFW, although ROH gave permission for the live events only. Despite not having permission from TNA, Tyrus has accepted a deal with GFW, although terms have not been revealed, and the company can’t really prevent him from accepting non-televised deals. Another surprise signing was ROH star Moose, but a deal was worked out and it’s believed anyone can work the live events or shows as long as it’s not televised.

In regards to Jeff Jarrett working out a television deal and signing more talent, he is reported to be in early talks with Spike, CMT, Fox Sports, and WGN about possible deals. He doesn’t have a deal in place with former WWE announcer Jim Ross, but they are in negotiations as well. The hope is that GFW will have Ross work with Chael Sonnen in the booth, and scheduling and pay rate is what the agreement would come down to.

i dont have WGN on optimum
i thought spike was trying to change there brand and dropped wrestling all together
country music network really really
fox sports 1 is the best option i think

Who this?

Who this?

He was Rubik from TNA and he wrestles with Chikara. He's very good.

GFW signed Andrew Everett and Beretta too. Andrew Everett is REALLY good. He's basically the white AR Fox, except he's not a battyboy

Why the hell would he try to get on Spike? CMT would be a really bad look. WGN, eh. Maybe. I agree, FSN is probably the best choice out of those mentioned. I don't have any faith in any channel to stand behind wrestling though. The only network that's ever really cared has been USA.

Jigsaw is very good. Glad he finally escaped from that ant-filled black hole that is Chikara.

Dope, i just fot through watching some LU shows and they can get talent as good as they have, i got faith Jeff gonna line up some great talent

Why not try to get on Spike if they offer. He's already familiar with them and TNA had a good 10 year run

Shelton Benjamin is a part of GFW.

The match card is basically the same, except that it will be the Young Bucks against Everett and PJ Black instead of Chase Stevens and Cassidy Riley.

 

[I-Hate-You]

If Jeff is able to draw over 0 people with these line ups though

what's gonna be fukked up is that they'll draw more than TNA's 400.

Those cards are "absolutely nothing else to do and somebody gave me tickets for free" status though.

 

[DoubleJ13]

Jeff got The Best Friends

at those lineups though
