GFW heading to South Africa

[Lover Boy]

World Wrestling Professionals (WWP) in South Africa had a press conference at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth to announce a partnership with Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling. This will result in “WrestleMonster†on February 28. Jarrett wasn’t at the conference and sent a video promo talking about how important the South African market was to GFW. He said he would work the Stadium show and other WWP events. He also teased signing South African wrestlers to GFW.

Other talent announced include Joe E. Legend (Just Joe), British star Erin Angel as well as local talents Tornado, Ananzi, Mr Wrestling, “Kwaito Kid†Zama Njokweni, Nigeria’s Kilimanjaro and India’s Sangram Singh. The only match so far is Legend vs Singh for the vacant WWP Commonwealth Championship.

It was revealed that 50% of the gate would go to “wrestling development†with the idea of building a wrestling school in Port Elizabeth with Zama Njokweni training.

Could South Africa potentially be an untapped market for professional wrestling? It is hardly known for it's wrestling. I can only think of Justin Gabriel and Adam Rose who are South African wrestlers. This could hopefully lead to a development in South African wrestling and some more talent coming to the USA.

I wish Jarrett would actually go somewhere with this GFW thing. All these partnerships are nice, but they need to actually result in something down the line.

Exactly. This just all seems like him blowing smoke up everyone's asses. He debuted the GFW brand back in April and outside of announcing these partnerships, what else has been done? No talent roster at all, save for him and his wife, who actually have the nerve to sell photos of themselves on the website! :

TBF, it's probably my favourite thing about the company so far. Because Karen has always been such a draw.
