Jeff Jarrett has been contacting a number of talents to be part of his upstart Global Force Wrestling promotion in recent weeks.

Jarrett is apparently going after signed talents that have their deals with Ring Of Honor or TNA expiring soon, as well as unsigned talents.

The biggest name that GFW has reportedly reached out to is Roderick Strong, however there are rumors of talks with Team 3D, Chris Masters and Shelton Benjamin as well.

Jarrett has Sonjay Dutt and Scott D’Amore working on the office side of things for the promotion, and Dutt has been the one calling most of the aforementioned talents.

Regarding the offers to talents, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Jarrett has been offering the possibility of working 39 dates with the promotion.

As far as the rumors of Eric Bischoff being part of the promotion, Jarrett is denying these claims. Regarding Bischoff, Jarrett stated, “If GFW and BHE (Bischoff-Hervey Enterprises) are going to work together, we will not announce it at a Q&A in the U.K. They obviously heard what they wanted to hear.”

The Dudleys and Shelton would be great guys to get. As for Roddy... I don't see him going as he seems to be quite happy working for all three of Gabe, ROH, and PWG (and is getting pushed in all three). That being said, if GFW was going to REALLY push Roddy, I'd love to see him go because I don't see him being given the belt in either ROH or Evolve (and PWG doesn't count), which is a shame because I feel like Roddy's promos and personality have really stepped up over the past two years, and he'd make a great tweener with an attitude, take on all comers champion.

not to start this debate again, but if PWG doesn't count, Evolve doesn't count either

What I mean by "PWG doesn't count" is that pushes don't mean anything because there is almost nothing in the way of storylines. People just get over by doing moves and having good matches. Wins and losses (and even titles) are irrelevant. In Evolve (and ROH, and CHIKARA, and LU, and other places), these things are made to matter.
