According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling is teaming with
Biggest Loser creator Dave Broone and his 25/7 productions to produce
“new matches as well as unscripted
programming.”
Jarrett and wife
Karen have been working on the formation of Global Force Wrestling since
January, when Jarrett’s bid to purchase TNA (along with Toby Keith) failed to
happen. At this time, there is no word on if Keith will be involved with Global
Force Wrestling.
Broome said the
plan is to have new GFW content on the air 52 weeks per year, with both live and
live to tape programming. The TV rights are currently being shopped. Broome had
the following to say about the deal…
“It just
won’t be a bunch of wrestling matches; we have exciting announcements to come.
TNA or WWE right now is match after match after match. Global Force Wrestling is
not going to do that. There will be matches but there will be a lot more and a
lot more variety placed into the actual events that will be really innovative
and fresh.”
Jarrett added the
following…
“We’re
excited to enter this journey with a group as talented as Dave Broome and 25/7.
They’ve achieved some great things over the past decade and we feel like they
can lend a unique perspective both in and out of the
ring.”
