Jeff Jarrett spoke with RVA Magazine promoting this weekend’s
GFW show in Richmond, Virginia. Check out the highlights:
On a TV deal for Amped: “We are making moves. It’s been a real
challenge for us to line up a domestic situation as well as
international deals. I’m heading over to London in a couple of
weeks to further those moves. The first set of tapings were
great. We got plenty of one hour episodes and we’ve got the
crowning of the champions in October. With that and the Grand
Slam tour as well, it’s been no rest for the weary, but it’s
exciting time in the still the very early days of Global Force
Wrestling.”
On if GFW can compete in today’s wrestling world: “People say to
me, “Jeff, you came out just with the name of the company and
then went step by step” and it’s because I realized back then
that creating brand awareness is always at the top of
priorities. WWE is north of 90% in the marketplace. Put NXT
under that umbrella and they’re by far the leader for wrestling.
Then you got Ring Of Honor, TNA, Lucha Underground. You’ve got
several alternatives and Global Force is taken the necessary
steps to get there. Patience has never been in my DNA, but you
got to take it one step at a time to create that. We’re looking
to break in and have a very diverse style of wrestling and style
of wrestlers.”
On if there’s any hesitation to work with TNA after his problems
with them: “You know, it’s a business. My family’s been in this
business for over 70 years so I’ve seen a lot of situations
where you’d say those folks would never work together again and
they did. Business is business and when it’s a win-win-win–a win
for our promotion, a win for their promotion, and more
importantly, a win for the wrestling fans–it’s really hard not
to do a deal. So we put a lot of things in the past and in our
rear view mirrors on both sides and moved forward. It’s a pretty
exciting time. All the positive momentum that’s coming from the
working relationship between TNA and GFW is just a great thing.”
On GFW’s relationship with New Japan being stronger now:
“Definitely. Those guys are great. Obviously, we had a very
rewarding and great experience with Wrestle Kingdom 9. It was a
great way to really kick off that relationship. New Japan came
out a couple of weeks ago and sort of released their new – well
not new, but they broadcasted that they’re working with us and
Ring Of Honor and independent promotions in the UK. I think
that’s very, very healthy. That’s certainly what I set out to do
from day one. Have handshake agreements, working relations,
working agreements – at GFW, we want to bring so many different
styles under one umbrella and connect the fan bases so it’s a
win for the wrestling fan for sure.”
