Global Force Wrestling brings sizzle to hot summer nights at a ballpark near you
NASHVILLE, Tenn. ? You might be able to buy peanuts and Cracker Jacks, and there?s sure to be a crowd. But this will be a whole new ball game.
The historic first Global Force Wrestling show will be held on Friday night, June 12 at The Ballpark at Jackson in Jackson, Tennessee. as part of GFW?s ?MiLB Grand Slam Tour.? The tour will feature stops from Florida to California and several points in between.
It?s a grassroots approach building toward the first GFW broadcast event on Friday, July 24 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Minor-league parks operated by both private ownership and municipalities have agreed to play host to Global Force Wrestling shows when their baseball-playing tenants are out of town. It?s an easy win for the parks, which gain another great source for revenue. For GFW it?s a chance to build momentum, show off its roster and deliver on its mission statement to be the most fan interactive brand in sports entertainment.
?These ballparks are the center of attention in the summer in most of these cities, and we?re eager to get out there and mix with our fans and show them what the GFW brand is all about,? said Jeff Jarrett, Global Force Wrestling founder and CEO.
The stars of GFW will be appearing in such cities as Knoxville, Tennessee, Richmond, Virginia, and Clinton, Iowa. Dates for the summer ballpark tour are available on globalforcewrestling.com, and more will be added in the coming weeks.
?Global Force Wrestling presented us with a great plan, one that will be beneficial to us and all ballparks, teams and cities as well as to their burgeoning brand,? said Todd ?Parney? Parnell, vice president and chief operating officer of the Richmond (Va.) Flying Squirrels. ?We know GFW will generate a lot of interest and excitement, not only the night of the show but for weeks in advance.?
Atlanta Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski is excited about the alliance of his profession and his pastime.
?Wrestling and baseball make a great tag team,? said Pierzynski, a wrestling aficionado. ?And I?m thrilled to see so many minor-league parks, some of which I?ve played in, jump on board.?
Global Force Wrestling will roll out its talent roster in the next couple of weeks. It?s a lineup filled with speed and power, righties and lefties, starters and closers, sure to provide thrills at every ballpark.
