Adam Davey, on Twitter at @v2wrestlingshow, of the v2wrestling.com podcast recently interviewed Jeff Jarrett during which Jarrett talks about the future for GWF, his vision, the roster and the platform he is
considering. The audio can be listened to at this link, and below are some highlights:
On booking certain talents from other promotions:
“It’s going to be very interesting. Scheduling is going to be a unique set of circumstances but it’s all part of the business and, quite frankly, it does excite me because when you don’t have the same wrestlers show after show, it gives it a sense of freshness and a sense of anything can happen.
It harkens me back to many moons ago and as time rolls on, when you have certain members of the roster come and go back in the Attitude Era. It was who’s going to show up on Nitro and I want to see who they’re going to wrestle. So I believe it brings a real sense of what’s going to happen next and who’s going to show up next, and I think that brings excitement to the fans.”
How many shows is GFW going to tape in Las Vegas:
“It’s a work in progress. Jim Ross wrote online a couple of weeks ago and talked about 13 one-hour episodes, and that’s one of probably three to four options that we have. I also read another blog that said we’re going to do three 3-hour specials on the three Fridays that we’re there in July, August and October. Then I heard even crazier that we’re going to do a live 3-hour special. So there’s a lot of options on the table. The uniqueness of this is that the best decision has to be made not only for the United States market but for our international discussions as well. We are global; we set out to do that from Day 1 to be a global brand and I’m going to stand behind it. I want this content that we’re going to shoot to be seen by as many eyeballs as they possibly can, so that factors into the decision in multiple ways.”
His approach to storylines in GFW:
“A lot of people ask, How are you going to be different? In Global Force Wrestling, it goes without saying that there are storylines in professional wrestling. We don’t want to write stories, we want to document them. Because every professional wrestler truly has a story behind their life, has a story behind where they’ve come from. To me, the storylines have already started, if you want to call it that. There’s talent coming from countries from around the world and the story is they’re going to be on the first ever Global Force Wrestling show, and there’s a pretty unique set of circumstances in and up to that.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
