Nick Aldis known as Magnus in TNA has signed on with Global Force Wrestling. His TNA contract just expired. Aldis is expected to be part of the next GFW Grand Slam Tour events on July 9 in Wisconsin, July 10 in Pennsylvania and July 11 in Ohio. He will also be headlining the first ever GFW world television taping on July 24 in Las Vegas.
“I’m ready to explore opportunities as a free agent that haven’t been open to me before. Jeff Jarrett has been instrumental in my career development and I have always respected him as a performer and promoter. As soon as I heard about GFW I knew that one way or another I would play a part. I’m very excited about that.” said Aldis.
GFW Founder and CEO couldn’t not be happier that Magnus has decided to join the force. “Nick is one of the brightest stars in professional wrestling today and I could not be more excited to have front and center promoting GFW. His star power in the UK will help give Global Force Wrestling the brand exposure we are looking for.”
Aldis star power transcends pro wrestling and he is someone we have had our eye on for months,” said Karen Jarrett Co-Founder of GFW.
Dixie Carter confirmed on Twitter that she inducted Jeff Jarrett into the TNA Hall of Fame during Saturday night’s Impact Wrestling tapings in Orlando.
The ceremony should air in late July or Early August.
SPOILER: So proud to have inducted @RealJeffJarrett in to the TNA Hall of Fame tonight. No one more deserving.
According to WrestlingINC.com there’s a feeling backstage in TNA that the buzz the company has received in the past week is better than the buzz they’ve received in the past year and they are happy with that, regardless of what happens with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. Also there is a feeling among some in TNA that Jarrett wouldn’t be there and wouldn’t have won at Slammiversary if everything was right with the company.
Jeff Jarrett became TNA’s first-ever King of the Mountain Champion at last night’s TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view. Jarrett says he never imagined he would be back outside of the Impact Zone after winning a title. Jarrett says where they go next will be unexpected, it will be big, it will benefit Global Force Wrestling and it will make a big impact on TNA.
Jeff Jarrett says in a new video posted to the Impact wrestling YouTube channel that he will take the championship to Global Force Wrestling should he win the King of the Mountain match tonight at Slammiversary.
Jeff Jarrett’s return at last night’s TNA Impact Wrestling was kept a big secret. There was no mention of his return in the script or even a gap left in it. TNA’s script had no blanks gaps, so the segment that had been written in the script in that spot had to be edited out.
Jarrett is expected to be around TNA a lot more after this Sunday’s King of the Mountain Match at the Slammiversary pay-per-view. There’s a feeling within TNA that some sort of Global Force Wrestling invasion angle could be in the works, but that has not been confirmed, it’s just a feeling backstage last night.
Dave Meltzer speculated on Wrestling Observer Radio that Jeff Jarrett’s TNA return could include a Hall of Fame induction. AJ Styles had recently turned down TNA’s Hall of Fame offer.
Jeff Jarrett and wife Karen Jarrett appeared on tonight’s TNA Impact Wrestling from Orlando. Jarrett was wearing a Global Force Wrestling t-shirt and acknowledged they are co-founders of the company. It appears there could be some working relationship between the two companies soon.
Jarrett promised to talk more about GFW at a later date but said he was contacted by TNA officials last week to set up a conference call about an offer they had. Jarrett said he was boarding a plane and didn’t even reply at first but got to wondering what they might want. Jarrett said he contacted TNA and they wanted him to come back for a match. Jarrett said he wanted to hang up at that point but they told him they wanted him in his own match – King of the Mountain, at Slammiversary.
Jarrett went on to talk about some highlights from TNA over the years, naming AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Beer Money, Eric Young and others. Jarrett said he’s put his blood, sweat and tears into GFW and had to really think about how a TNA return would affect the GFW roster and staff. Jarrett got emotional when talking about how his wife would react to returning to TNA. Karen also spoke on the mic and said GFW is their future. At first, she told Jeff not to contact TNA but he laid it out for her and she understood that TNA was still his baby. Karen said she still doesn’t completely understand why they are here but she loves and supports her husband. Karen also said Jeff didn’t leave TNA on his own terms as he was fired in a backstage pre-tape by Sting. She told Jeff that he’s going to leave on his own terms now and will make things right at Slammiversary.
Jeff then declared himself in King of the Mountain. He said he will walk the TNA aisle one last time to climb the ladder and be King of the Mountain. The Jarretts were received well by the TNA fans.
Global Force Wrestling released this statement on their website about Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett returning to TNA on tonight’s Impact Wrestling:
