On April 29th, a partnership with AAA -- one of the top wrestling promotions in Mexico -- was announced to the world. This alliance will lead to a talent exchange program between the two promotions. Furthermore, the partnership itself stems from Jarretts long relationship with AAA and its founder/owner, Antonio Peña. In an official press release, Jarrett said, Ive had a working relationship with the family that owns AAA for the past 10-plus years. Because of this prior relationship -- as stated by AAAs Executive Vice President, Dorian Roldan -- the Mexican promotion is happy to continue relationship with Jeff Jarrett and now with his newly formed wrestling promotion Global Force Wrestling. As if GFWs partnership with one of the top lucha libre promotions wasnt enough, on June 23rd, Jarrett announced another cooperative agreement -- this time with New Japan Pro Wrestling. The two promotions have agreed to exchange talent -- much like the agreement with AAA. New Japans Chairman of the Board, Naoki Sugabayashi stated that the Japanese promotion is excited to align with Jeff Jarrett and his vision for Global Force Wrestling.
