Jarrett to buy TNA?:

WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross says Jeff Jarrett's return to TNA is a smart business move for two desperate promotions, but predicts that it will lead to something interesting, he says it makes sense to have an invasion angle, for the benefit of both groups, but predicts that in the long term Jeff Jarrett will make a play at buying TNA out from the current owners, and adds that his friend, musician Toby Keith, would be likely to back Jarrett's bid financially...

''Looking at the bigger picture it would seem to be that both TNA and GFW need each other right now. Neither are on top of their game as TNA is rebuilding on a weak network while Jeff's GFW is just being launched and has no momentum. If the two organizations can reprise an 'invasion angle' that can lead to a fresh, major storyline for Wednesday night TV and then bleed over to the GFW live events then it can perhaps become a win-win for both parties. Another possibility is for the Jarrett's to go back into business with TNA to the extent of perhaps even buying the brand. If Jeff and my Oklahoma friend and neighbor Toby Keith can get the right business deal then money is no object in buying the maligned brand outright and taking it to a new direction and hitting the re-set button which is what I would do including getting rid of the any thing resembling TNA in the name of the company. Toby and I are good friends and he is a wrestling fan but is foremost a savvy businessman. Toby will not make a bad deal because he doesn't long to be a wrestling company owner but he does like to make money and people with money love to make "new" money.''

As part of Jarrett's return deal, he has struck an agreement for TNA talent to work for GFW, the partnership will start at the July 24 live events.
