Global Force Wrestling has decided to delay their planned shows in Texas later this month. The company decided to push the dates out, as Jeff Jarrett has to be in London for company business that week and they didn’t want the shows to go off without Jarrett there to oversee them. There were also some issues with the dates in terms of talent, as some Japanese commitments were keeping members of the roster fromo attending. Combined with the concern that WWE is running NXT and Night of Champions during that particular weekend in Texas — which would have provided tough competition — it was decided to postpone the dates.
GFW issued an announcement about the delays, which reads:
Global Force Wrestling, the San Antonio Missions and the Round Rock Express have decided to postpone the GFW Grand Slam Tour events scheduled for later this month in Texas. Due to multiple conflicts in scheduling plus announcements that will be revealed over the next few weeks, GFW and the Texas clubs felt it was best to reschedule the events for the 2016 Grand Slam Tour. Ticket refunds can be obtained through the Missions’ and Express’ box offices.
“Global Force Wrestling has made a promise to our fans to present the highest quality wrestling action at all of our Grand Slam events,” GFW founder and CEO Jeff Jarrett said. “As a new brand in the entertainment marketplace, it is imperative not only to deliver but to exceed customer expectations. We are committed to our friends and fans in Texas, and we look forward to scheduling San Antonio and Round Rock on next year’s Grand Slam Tour.”
