Jeff Jarrett recently spoke with Aaron Oster of Rolling Stone about Global Force Wrestling. Jarrett spoke in-depth about the company’s identity, his feelings about TNA Wrestling and more.
When asked about what defines Global Force Wrestling, Jarrett said they plan to be “forward-thinking and innovative.” They’ve formed alliances with other promotions around the world so we can share talent. He emphasized that every wrestler has a story and he plans to focus on who these athletes are. While they will certainly feature some storylines, their goal is not necessarily to “tell stories” – they want to document stories.
Jarrett was asked if we’re going to see him as a regular character on the GFW shows, Jarrett said flat out, “No. I’m certainly not going to wrestle for the foreseeable future. I’m not going to say that I’m retired, but 99.9 percent of my time is going to be dedicated to promoting the brand and promoting the athletes of Global Force Wrestling.”
As for their ultimate goal, Jarrett said, “We want to put up compelling content with compelling wrestlers, and that will be a barometer of success. We just want to be a positive influence within the wrestling industry.”
