Anything been announced or confirmed to do with this yet?

 

There's been a few things announced that I just either havnt had the time to post or remembered to. One of the things that was talked about in an interview was that the GFW Titles would be like the NWA titles in that they would be defended in different organizations, not just in GFW which is kind of interesting.

 

Also there was an interview posted yesterday with Jim Ross where he said he'd be open to announcing for GFW if the deal was right and it was something he thought was right for him.

I can hear it in my head already "Good god almighty Rainmaker! Okada Okada Okada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Which will be pretty amazing. Funny how a commentator can make a PPV seem more epic or must watch....

 

Then again we see how Michael Cole can have the opposite effect for other PPV's.

Full press release from GFW on Jim Ross:

 

NASHVILLE Jim Ross, the preeminent voice of professional wrestling for the past four decades, has agreed to provide the play-by-play for Global Force Wrestlings presentation of New Japan Pro Wrestlings Wrestle Kingdom 9 live on pay per view in North America on Jan. 4, 2015.

 

The Hall of Famer has called more pro wrestling PPV events than any broadcaster and is regarded as the greatest, play-by-play announcer in wrestling history. He will be returning to the mic at one of the biggest events in the world. This is the 24th year of NJPWs annual extravaganza at the Tokyo Dome, where more than 40,000 fans from are expected to attend.

 

I am truly honored and excited to have been asked to be a part of this historic event, Ross said. To be able to return to my roots and to provide play by play for an amazing, pro wrestling product will be special. I never thought Id ever return to ringside for a wrestling event but this opportunity was just too special to turn down.

 

GFW founder and CEO Jeff Jarrett said he had been working on lining up Ross for weeks.

 

When you think of the great events in wrestling over the past 30 years one of the things they have in common is the man behind the microphone. And that man is Jim Ross, Jarrett said. Im excited for this event, and Im excited for good ol JR to be a part of it. GFW fans wanted him, and from day one we have said were going to give our fans what they want.

This years card is headlined by an IGWP heavyweight title match between Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada. The Bullet Club, of which Jarrett is a member along with AJ Styles and IWGP tag team champions Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows, will appear as well.

 

The show will be available in English and in Japanese via the second audio program (SAP) button on your TV.
