News On When GFW's "Invasion" Of TNA Will Begin

The storyline begins on Impact later this month.

The angle that will start the Global Force Wrestling invasion of TNA Impact will begin on the July 22nd edition of Impact, according to the Wrestling Observer. That show will air on a slight tape delay on Destination America while the other shows in July have already been taped. The storyline will continue with GFW's first ever TV tapings in Las Vegas on July 24. Current TNA stars that will take part in the GFW tapings are long-time performers Bobby Roode and Eric Young, both of whom are close with GFW's owner Jeff Jarrett. Young will also be taking part in GFW live events this weekend to work an angle with Jarrett. Other TNA stars are likely to be there as well. What's weird about the GFW taping aspect is that they have no television deal announced in any country. Perhaps they will have something to announce soon, but with two weeks to go before the tapings there's no news on where they might broadcast those shows where they plan to crown their first World Champion and Women's Champion. Some of the performers set for the GFW tapings include Nick Aldis (Magnus), Mickie James, Chris Mordetzky (Chris Masters), Moose, PJ Black (Justin Gabriel), Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, Kushida, Sanada and Lei'D Tapa. It was also reported that country music star Toby Keith is helping Jarrett finance GFW, but it's not a situation where there's an open checkbook. Apparently Keith will only provide more funding if Jarrett's able to secure a TV deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAP-6yk4te8
