Earlier this week, Wrestling Rumors detailed reports of the upcoming invasion angle between TNA and Global Force Wrestling that will unfold on Destination America. It is seen as a “Hail Mary” attempt from TNA to keep things good in its standing with the network.

However, on the other side, GFW will be taping its own set of television July 24. Now, Jeff Jarrett has revealed the name of the program. Jarrett said in a video release:

“You know, April 7, 2014 was the day we just named the company. Then month by month, we would name a new promotion we have an alliance with. And then, as the weeks and months rolled along, we made the announcement about the ‘Grand Slam Tour,’ then we made the announcement – the Orleans – then we made specific talent announcements. This announcement that I’m making today, with all the market research we’ve done, all the teamwork that’s gone into this, internally within Global Force Wrestling and outside of Global Force Wrestling, I couldn’t be more excited to say that when we go to the Orleans July 24, it is our first set of tapings for the television show called ‘AMPED.’

‘AMPED is the name we used. We really got the best feeling almost from Day 1. Different names of the television show, what’s really going to wrap it around? And it’s ‘AMPED.’ Why is it ‘AMPED?’ I’m amped not to write stories, but to document stories. I’m amped to see the action, whether it be lucha libre, whether it be the strong style from Japan, the pageantry of the U.S. and we’ve got international stars from around the globe, and I’m amped to get this program out.”

The video, which features GFW in action, can be found below.

Editor’s Note

One would assume with an announcement like this, he will have a plan in place to bring it to television in some way, no?
