“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan to Work With Global Force Wrestling

Recently, it was noted Global Force Wrestling would be kicking off its official show tour by teaming up with minor league baseball teams and presenting shows as part of the “GFW Grand Slam Tour.” Wrestling mainstay Jim Cornette was announced to be part of the promotional and talent team for the tour, as Jeff Jarrett looks to bring in big names for the promotion.

Now, it appears the company has locked up a WWE Hall of Famer to help spread word.

In a new press release issued by the company, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan is announced as a GFW “legend.”

“NASHVILLE – Global Force Wrestling is preparing to two-step through Texas – for an appearance in May and three shows in September as part of the ‘GFW Grand Slam Tour.’

GFW CEO and founder Jeff Jarrett and newly announced GFW Legend ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan will take part in the traditional first pitch on May 28 at Dell Diamond prior to the game between the Round Rock Express (Texas Rangers-Triple A) and visiting El Paso. They also will be meeting fans and signing autographs. During the game tickets will go on sale for the GFW show on Sept. 27 in Round Rock.”

This is yet another big announcement for GFW, which presented its roster last week. It also made public it will crown four new champions at upcoming tapings, setting the promotion in motion.

“Hacksaw’s” last major appearance for WWE was as part of “WWE Legends’ House” on the WWE Network.
