Jay Lethal:
What's next on the horizon for Global Force Wrestling
I think the number one question is when are we going to see it on TV and
that is the next step. What I've learned is trying to get 52 weeks of television
content on a major cable network is not the easiest thing in the world or the
quickest thing to do but that is the next step for Global Force and 2016 is just
starting and this year we've made quite the leeway in those regards and I think
that the further along we get here in this year, the more announcements we are
going to be able to make and hopefully sooner then later we can get our content
on television and really show wrestling fans how we are trying to be different
and what type of program we are trying to present.
Has Global Force Wrestling considered going the streaming route with
presenting their television:
Initially we've discussed it and still those discussions are on the
table. We've discussed all digital platforms. Technology and entertainment are
ever evolving and some stuff that was around a year ago isn't around now and new
stuff comes and goes and we are trying to figure out what the best route is to
showcase Global Force whether it be on cable television or whether it be through
a digital or a streaming service like a Netflix, and all of those options are
absolutely 100% on the table.
The "old school" style Stadium tours that Global Force presented last
summer:
I loved them. They are just so different from your regular arena setting
and your regular arena shows and honestly on a nice summer day what is better
than sitting in a ballpark watching pro wrestling. It's a cool atmosphere and a
cool environment. We've got a lot of families and a lot of kids coming around
and there is a nostalgia factor to it as well and at all of our ballpark shows
we've had a legend of pro wrestling come and sign and it was a good time across
the board.
The Global Force roster being one of the most underrated rosters in
wrestling:
I think that the name of the game of any start up pro wrestling company
is getting the word out there and getting people to know you exist and then you
can really showcase your talent which at the end of the day is THE number one
thing that sells a pro wrestling company. What we are trying to do is show a
different batch of guys out there that you might not know and that is what we
were doing on our baseball shows. We would go to these towns and have your
regular wrestlers and we would go to these towns to try and find that diamond in
the rough and since Independent wrestling is (crazy) thriving throughout the
country, just to find out those stars that are regional and nobody knows about
and put them on a bigger stage.
Reaction to former opponent Daniel Bryan's retirement
announcement:
I think the number one thing coming from that and it should have hit
every wrestler watching is if his brain is supposedly like that, then who knows
how many other wrestlers are in that same situation. It's just that we just
don't checked, we don't get it checked out and had the rigorous testing that he
had. It was obviously sad that someone so talented and so young would be forced
to retire. Who knows if me or the next guy who went through the same testing
won't find the same thing in our brain. Which is scary to think.
Sonjay Dutt also discusses his "Guru" gimmick in TNA, The benefits or
wrestling all over the world, wrestling at the first ever wrestling even in
Myanmar and much more.
