Already scheduled to appear is GFW founder and wrestling legend, Jeff Jarrett; along with Chris "The Adonis" Mordetsky, Brian Myers, Sonjay Dutt, New Japan Pro Wrestling stars Seiya Sanada and Takaaki Watanabe, and the most talked about faction in professional wrestling today, The Bullet Club. Negotiations are currently underway to feature a second wrestling legend at Metro Bank Park. SenatorsBaseball.com will have all the information as soon as the contract is signed.
The event is part of 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.
"We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to host Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling here at Metro Bank Park on Aug 28th. We want to bring great events to this venue and we think a great night of professional wrestling is going to be a great event for us and the wrestling fans of Central PA." said Senators President, Kevin Kulp.
