An extreme makeover for EC3’s new personal assistant Jeff Hardy
PWInsider reports that the recent deal that saw Jeff Jarrett return to TV storylines in TNA included Dixie Carter buying Jarrett out of his minority ownership of TNA. The deal also included Jarrett’s Hall of Fame induction, promotion for Global Force Wrestling and GFW having the rights to book TNA talents.
PWInsider notes that the Jarrett deal was put together just a few days before the Jarretts cut their Impact Wrestling promo back in June. The deal was precipitated by TNA and allows for both sides to part ways on good terms. Dixie and parent company Panda Energy get complete ownership of the company while Jarrett gets bought out and receives some perks for GFW. TNA can now make any moves they want without having to worry about Jarrett’s minority shares coming back to get in the way.

TNA star Bram (Thomas Latimer) was arrested for domestic battery and false imprisonment on Sunday in Gulfport, Florida.
Latimer was released today on $5000 bond for the domestic battery by strangulation charge, and another $1000 bond for the false imprisonment charge.
WWE Diva Charlotte who is still legally married to Latimer was not the woman involved in the incident. Charlotte and Latimer split a few months ago.
Below are details of his arrest, courtesy of the Gulfport Police Department:
Professional Wrestler Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges
Gulfport, FL – On 8/30 at approximately 6:00 AM, officers responded to a call about a disturbance in an apartment at 3205 58th Street South. There they encountered Thomas R. Latimer and a woman who identified herself as his girlfriend.
The officers observed evidence indicative of a physical altercation, and their investigation revealed that after the couple had been arguing, the woman felt threatened and sought refuge in her bedroom.
Latimer followed her into the bedroom, closed the door, and refused to allow her to leave. He then pushed the woman onto the bed and was holding her down by the neck.
Latimer, who is a wrestler with TNA Impact Wrestling, was charged with domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. Both are felony charges, and he is currently being held in the Pinellas County Jail.

TNA announced today that Bram (Thomas Latimer), who is married to WWE Diva Charlotte, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, has been arrested and suspended indefinitely until the situation is resolved.
Bram was arrested on Sunday at condo in the Gulfport, Florida area at 8:30am and charged with one count of domestic battery by strangulation, and one count of false imprisonment.
Bram is currently in jail awaiting his court date. No word yet on bond and no word yet if Charlotte was involved. WWE was in Florida this weekend and is in Tampa, Florida tonight for RAW.
Global Force Wrestling founder Jeff Jarrett talked to RVA MAG recently about finding a TV deal.
Finding a TV deal for GFW:
“We are making moves. It’s been a real challenge for us to line up a domestic situation as well as international deals. I’m heading over to London in a couple of weeks to further those moves. The first set of tapings were great. We got plenty of one hour episodes and we’ve got the crowning of the champions in October. With that and the Grand Slam tour as well, it’s been no rest for the weary, but it’s exciting time in the still the very early days of Global Force Wrestling.”
Possibly airing on Netflix or Hulu:
“All of the above and I don’t want to specifically say Netflix or Hulu. The world of 2015 is so interesting. You wouldn’t be asking that question even, what would you say, two or three years ago? It’s interesting just how everyone consumes their information. Not just wrestling or television. Your phone is a source of news, entertainment, games, apps. It’s just a different world. I’ve said it for a year now: my goal is if you’re a GFW fan, you’ll have access to watch it all across the globe. There’s a huge component to that. I won’t call it streaming, but there’s a big component in the online world for Global Force.”
Working with TNA again:
“You know, it’s a business. My family’s been in this business for over 70 years so I’ve seen a lot of situations where you’d say those folks would never work together again and they did. Business is business and when it’s a win-win-win-a win for our promotion, a win for their promotion, and more importantly, a win for the wrestling fan – it’s really hard not to do a deal. So we put a lot of things in the past and in our rear view mirrors on both sides and moved forward. It’s a pretty exciting time. All the positive momentum that’s coming from the working relationship between TNA and GFW is just a great thing.”
