Jeff Jarrett Reportedly Unable To Secure TV Deal For GFW, What Idea Has He Been Pitching?

Jeff Jarrett has reportedly been unable to secure a paid TV deal for his Global Force Wrestling promotion to air a weekly show.

Sources in the TV industry report that Jarrett has proposed a concept to at least one network, said to be a channel without full national clearance, and probably other networks. However, Jarrett has been unable to secure a deal for this concept also. Jarrett's idea is to do a test-run live special that would feature talents from the indies, AAA and New Japan Pro Wrestling under the GFW banner.

We've noted that Jarrett is expected to make some kind of announcement later this month. PWInsider reported earlier this month that GFW was expected to announce TV tapings for Las Vegas soon. Jarrett has been negotiating with an arena in Las Vegas that would be the home for GFW.
