classiq. Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Major Name Rumored For Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary XV It's rumored that the surprise guest that Jeff Jarrett has been teasing for this year's Slammiversary is NBA legend, Shquille O'Neal. If that is to be believed then it would be a big scoop for Impact Wresting. Shaq was set to face Big Show at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando when plans fell through. Slammiversary XV will be the first pay-per-view for Impact Wrestling in 2017. There are seven matches confirmed for the show, including the main event between Bobby Lashley and Alberto El Patron to unify the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship and the GFW Global Championship. Slammiversary XV will be held at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida on 2nd July 2017. https://www.wrestlingnewssource.com/news/47012/Major-Name-Rumored-For-Impact-Wrestlings-Slammiversary-XV/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Jeff Jarrett just sold himself... to himself! Jarrett is the founder of Impact, but not the owner of it. Anthem owns Impact...and now they own Jarrett's other company (GFW) as well. So...joke aside, he's not selling himself to himself. This is basically just Jarrett tapping out and accepting that he's never been able to successfully run a wrestling promotion, so he's buying back into being the on-air personality of one. Must feel pretty strange to know that you created something, but failed to keep it alive...and now you just work under the umbrella of someone else with your name slapped on it. That's like building a house with your bare hands, and then someone coming in and saying "thanks for building this awesome house...I guess you can stay in the guest room".

classiq. Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 It was announced previously that Anthem Sports had made the decision to acquire Global Force Wrestling. More information was announced today by the Tennessean. Anthem has made the decision to rebrand the wrestling promotion under the GFW name, but the weekly wrestling program on Pop TV will continue to be called Impact. Jeff Jarrett, who launched TNA Wrestling 15 years ago and Global Force Wrestling 3 years ago, will head the creative team of the new GFW. This move will help to distance the company from the legal issues that surrounded TNA under the leadership of Dixie Carter. Another reason for the rebranding was the double meaning of TNA, according to Anthem EVP Ed Nordholm indicated, as it was a turnoff for marketing partners. The company recently completed a tour of India which resulted in the company’s Youtube channel having more hits from India than from the United States. The company has goals for both The United Kingdom and India markets to partner with local promotions and cultivate new content.
