GFW is going to be the modern day equivalent of the Tokyopop FMW videos where two white guys make up names for Japanese wrestlers and pretend they can feel the explosions happening in the ring from 7 years prior to their commentary.

I'll settle for GFW literally being MXC.

If all GFW is is NJPW PPVs with English commentary it will be my new favorite promotion.

Big Dave will rate GFW and NJPW separately and subtract .25 stars for English announcers

Big Dave said that Jeff Jarrett wants 10-12,000 buys for Tokyo Dome. He talked about it and the NJPW TV show on AXS on Saturday's Sin Limite. He thinks that NJPW World will hurt the buyrate but not critically because the market for the English PPV is people who don't watch NJPW, not NJPW diehards.

Global Force Wrestling

Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling announced three shows -- 7/24, 8/21 and 10/23 -- as television tapings at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. No other details were announced regarding names or a broadcast partner.

The official press release:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The glitz and glamour of Sin City will meet the hard-charging, high energy of professional wrestling when Global Force Wrestling brings its brand to Las Vegas for the first taping of its broadcast event shows on Friday, July 24 at the Orleans Arena.

The gaming and �Entertainment Capital of the World� has been the site for some of the biggest boxing and MMA fights in history. Now, Las Vegas has another major sporting event to add to that list.

�This time, what happens in Vegas will not stay in Vegas,� said Jeff Jarrett, GFW founder and CEO. �Global Force Wrestling is looking forward to bringing the freshest brand of professional wrestling to fans from all over the world; and, it all starts right here in the fight capital of the world."

GFW�s first three shows at the Orleans Arena will take place on Friday, July 24;Friday, Aug. 21 and Friday, Oct. 23. GFW has alliances with 13 affiliates on five continents, including New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Mexico�s AAA and federations in Europe, Australia and Africa.

Jarrett, a third-generation wrestling promoter, has been laying the groundwork for GFW for the past year. In addition to international partnerships, the former wrestling champion has been scouring North America for the newest and freshest talent professional wrestling has to offer.

Details about tickets, special VIP opportunities and other important information about the inaugural GFW tapings will be announced in the coming weeks.

Godspeed, Jeff Jarrett. You are great.

...Wait, he announced them as TELEVISION TAPINGS?

I think I read the plan was super-indie TV specials at this point, but Jeff apparently has had PPV by the balls since 2001 so...

IT'S (still) HAPPENING

quote:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. � You might be able to buy peanuts and Cracker Jacks, and there�s sure to be a crowd. But this will be a whole new ball game.

The historic first Global Force Wrestling show will be held on Friday night, June 12 at The Ballpark at Jackson in Jackson, Tennessee. as part of GFW�s �MiLB Grand Slam Tour.� The tour will feature stops from Florida to California and several points in between.

It�s a grassroots approach building toward the first GFW broadcast event on Friday, July 24 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Minor-league parks operated by both private ownership and municipalities have agreed to play host to Global Force Wrestling shows when their baseball-playing tenants are out of town. It�s an easy win for the parks, which gain another great source for revenue. For GFW it�s a chance to build momentum, show off its roster and deliver on its mission statement to be the most fan interactive brand in sports entertainment.

�These ballparks are the center of attention in the summer in most of these cities, and we�re eager to get out there and mix with our fans and show them what the GFW brand is all about,� said Jeff Jarrett, Global Force Wrestling founder and CEO.

The stars of GFW will be appearing in such cities as Knoxville, Tennessee, Richmond, Virginia, and Clinton, Iowa. Dates for the summer ballpark tour are available on globalforcewrestling.com, and more will be added in the coming weeks.

�Global Force Wrestling presented us with a great plan, one that will be beneficial to us and all ballparks, teams and cities as well as to their burgeoning brand,� said Todd �Parney� Parnell, vice president and chief operating officer of the Richmond (Va.) Flying Squirrels. �We know GFW will generate a lot of interest and excitement, not only the night of the show but for weeks in advance.�

Atlanta Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski is excited about the alliance of his profession and his pastime.

�Wrestling and baseball make a great tag team,� said Pierzynski, a wrestling aficionado. �And I�m thrilled to see so many minor-league parks, some of which I�ve played in, jump on board.�

Global Force Wrestling will roll out its talent roster in the next couple of weeks. It�s a lineup filled with speed and power, righties and lefties, starters and closers, sure to provide thrills at every ballpark.

I think that there's definitely an opening, it's just finding an opening in the schedule. That's the biggest problem we've come across is my schedule is so full that it's hard to fit me in.
