Jarrett never hosed him over, that was Dixie's crew. Double J has had pretty much nothing to do with TNA for a while, even though he still has some sort of ownership stake in the company I think?

As far as I know JJ and AJ are BFFs

How exactly did Dixe's crew gently caress over AJ (besdies never pushing him properly and the like)?

Lowballing him on his most recent contract after he was basically the backbone of the company for a long time wrestling-wise is probably the best example.

Also it's probably more in line with "not pushing him properly", but I would say that always pushing him off to the side in favor of whatever WWE rejects they could sign is pretty lovely too (especially when their big plans would inevitably fail and they'd always end up turning back to him to try and salvage things with the TNA faithful).

GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING LOCATES NEW PARTNERS ‘DOWN UNDER’
NASHVILLE — Global Force Wrestling has extended its borders again, this time reaching Australia and New Zealand.

PWA Australia out of Sydney (https://www.pwaaustralia.com), WrestleClash out of Melbourne (https://www.wrestleclash.com.au), Riot City Wrestling out of Adelaide (https://www.riotcitywrestling.com), Explosive Pro Wrestling out of Perth (https://www.epwperth.com) and Impact Pro out of Auckland (https://www.impactprowrestling.co.nz) are the latest promotions worldwide to agree to partner with GFW.

GFW now has partnerships in Mexico, Japan, England, Ireland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.

“It seemed like a natural progression to reach out Down Under,” GFW founder and CEO Jeff Jartett said. “Professional wrestling has a solid fan base throughout Australia and New Zealand, and we’re pleased to have an opportunity to bring that product to America.

“All of our agreements just go to show the popularity of wrestling around the world. Wherever you go you can find athletes putting on great shows for their dedicated fans.”

Australian native and international TV star Rove McManus is excited to see his mates #JointheForce.

““I have witnessed firsthand some of the fantastic talent we have Down Under, and I believe the time is right to start showing the world why they breed us Aussies tough” McManus said. “Some of the best entertainers in the world have learned their craft in Australia and I have no doubt we have some of the best professional wrestlers in the world right at our doorstep.”

#JointheForce

I love everything about Global Force.

That partnership gives them access to a lot of premium women's wrestlers. Can't say I know much about the fellas that aren't already in Japan though.

Everyone already has access to these wrestlers. (Unless somehow they are under contract to these companies which has to be impossible.)

I wasn't even posting it because I felt it was newsworthy (or for the spelling error).

I just found Jeff Jarrett in some form working with yet another non-wrestler he worked with in the pre/early-TNA days hilarious.

PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources in the PPV industry that a Global Force Wrestling PPV event is on carriers' schedules for 1/4/15. Of course, 1/4 is the date of what has been the biggest Japanese event of the year for seemingly forever, the annual New Japan Pro Wrestling Tokyo Dome event.

It would appear that Jarrett's company has brokered a deal to bring the Tokyo Dome show to United States PPV for the first time. Sources indicate that the deal and all marketing for the PPV would be branded GFW, not New Japan.
