Jeff Jarrett confirmed that he reached out to CM Punk prior to his big UFC announcement, according to an interview he conducted with Wrestling News World this week. The website recently interviewed Global Force Wrestlings mouth piece about a number of subjects relating to his upcoming project, which has been in the pipeline for several months. The interview itself was sparse in terms of any real details about when Jarretts new promotion might make it to television etc, but the real interesting titbit was the revelation about Punk. According to Jarrett he tried to get the former wrestler to agree to sit beside Jim Ross and provide commentary on the upcoming Wrestle Kingdom 9 pay per view which he is co-promoting under the GFW banner. This might seem far-fetched but lets not forget that only a couple of years back while nursing an injury Punk began to appear on RAW and the original NXT as a colour commentator. Despite being out of his comfort zone the man who calls himself the Best in the World managed to outshine and outperform his broadcast colleagues at every turn. Having him sit alongside good old Jim Ross would have been a wrestling enthusiasts wet dream, but alas it was not to be. As we all know by now Punk has decided to knock wrestling on the head and concentrate solely on becoming a competitor in UFC. But unlike his time in WWE Punk wont be working a full time schedule and when he isnt training will have time for neat little side projects. Whos to say that he isnt willing to consider calling the odd wrestling show now and then when he isnt too busy writing comic books?
