Jeff Jarrett is reportedly headed to scout potential buildings for TV tapings in New York, Dallas and Los Angeles in September.
People close to Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling say negotiations are still ongoing for a GFW TV deal but they are moving slow. The promotion hoped to have something locked in by now but they do not.
There should be more announcements coming soon in regards to Scott D'Amore's involvement with GFW and the company's relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
The whole process of launching GFW is going a lot slower than officials wanted.

TNA agent Tommy Dreamer was recently on Steve Austins Podcast. In the interview Dreamer talks about his ECW days, WWE and TNA. Tommy Dreamer makes an interesting revelation during the TNA talk where he reveals he was close to signing Abyss to a WWE contract back when Dreamer worked in WWE developmental.
Dreamer mentions that his intentions were to bring Abyss into the WWE and pitch an Abyss vs The Undertaker match down the road. Dreamer reveals Abyss turned down the offer and opted to stay in TNA and that he believes that Abyss may have had a case of stage fright.
- In a possible sign that WWE officials have just about given up on Adam Rose, he hasn't had a RAW match since July 28th, when he defeated Damien Sandow.
Before that, Rose's last RAW match was on June 16th when he and Summer Rae defeated Layla and Fandango. Rose had just 2 RAW matches in all of June.
Rose had a TV win for the August 14th Superstars episode but has mostly been winning dark matches lately. He's also picked up several losses on NXT TV as of late.
It was reported recently that officials had "given up" on Bo Dallas but things look much worse for Rose.

WWE Allowing Prince Devitt to Keep His Body Paint?
There has been a lot of fans wondering if WWE would allow Prince Devitt to keep his signature body paint in NXT and the main roster. Fellow NXT rookie Kevin Steen posted the following photo of he and Devitt together tonight, leading fans to now wonder if the two are going to be a team.
There are no NXT live events tonight so it's possible they were training in full get-up, doing a photoshoot or something like that at the WWE Performance Center but this photo could be a sign that WWE is letting Devitt keep his paint.
"I hear about all of these guys getting concussions and neck injuries, and I watch their wrestling style, and I realize my wrestling styles a little bit harder than that, because Im taking German suplexes on the neck, and piledrivers and whatever. Im like, Man, Im gonna be 33 years old; maybe Id better get out now, and not have to be in a wheelchair when Im older."
"My wifes due with my next daughter in a couple of weeks or so, and I just didnt book any shows in or around this time. Then I just said, You know what? I just gotta start doing different things in life. You kinda have to look at your future, and ask whats really more important: providing for my family, being there for them, or pro wrestling?"
Petey, who didn't rule out working a match down the road, also commented on his future:
"Im going to become a US citizen, probably within a month. Im probably going to work in law enforcement now. Thats what I went to school for while training to be a pro wrestler, so thats been my other area of passion. Its a career where I dont have to travel, dont have to leave my family, and I can earn a pension. My wifes a police officer, and thats how we kind of came together."
"Its about being a Dad, and also stopping by some local shows to say hi to the guys. I still wanna keep up with wrestling, and Im actually enjoying it a little more, following it casually as a fan. It reminds me of back when I was younger, and I love being a fan of the sport."
Petey also talks about his time in TNA, his favorite opponents and more in the interview.
