WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently spoke with the Baltimore Sun about the rumors that he will be working with Jeff Jarrett’s upstart Global Force Wrestling (GFW) promotion. Below are some highlights from the interview:
On if he’ll ever announce for WWE again and the rumors that he’ll be working with GFW: “WWE, no,” Ross said. “There may be down the road some WWE opportunities, but I don’t think it will be in the broadcasting side. Time will tell on that. If the Global Force thing is there, I enjoyed working with Jeff Jarrett for the New Japan thing in January. I hope that they do great. I think that they can do a real good TV show with the roster they’re putting together. He still has to find a network to air his shows on.”
On fitting GFW commitments into his already busy schedule: “I would be very interested in working with Global Force, it’s just a matter of time obligations and budgets and everything. Everything has to fit schedule-wise. Adding 13 weeks of TV tapings, then going to Nashville and doing voice-overs, all of a sudden it becomes a pretty big project. And I have so many projects already in the pipeline. I just don’t know if we’re going to be able to balance everything to make that happen. I’m not against it, Jeff and I have talked about it.”
On what he has heard about the GFW TV taping schedule: “I just don’t know that I can do it because of the time obligations. I’m a big fan of what they’re doing there. As I understand it, it’s going to be 12 one-hour shows, and then a 13th final episode. I’m a big fan of the one-hour shows. The finale will be a two-hour special. I think that’s a good concept. There’s some real good wrestlers coming in as well. They’d be fun to call.”
