Jeff Jarrett, AAA Wrestling Promotion Reportedly in Talks

On Sunday, Jan. 4, Jeff Jarrett’s newly formed Global Force Wrestling will team up with New Japan Wrestling to air “Wrestle Kingdom 9” live for those in the United States. The event will be available on certain cable and satellite providers on pay-per-view, beginning at 2 a.m. EST. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross will serve on the American commentary team for the event, and has been rumored to be alongside another former WWE commentator in Matt Striker.

According to a recent report from PWInsider, Jeff Jarrett has been in talks with the lucha libre promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, known as AAA. Jarrett is looking for GFW and AAA to team up in a similar way as NJPW did with Jarrett’s promotion. The rumored deal would see AAA events come to pay-per-view in the United States, co-branded by GFW.

In late 2014, AAA launched its “Lucha Underground” television series, which airs in the United States. The promotion has built some momentum heading into 2015, and will be adding former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio, now known as Alberto El Patron, to its television series.

Editor’s Note

Would be nice to see GFW and AAA strike a deal to get a lot more great wrestling available for those in the States.
