Global Force Wrestling brings sizzle to hot summer nights at Classic Park in Eastlake July 11

By
April 20, 2015

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - You might be able to buy peanuts and Cracker Jacks, and there's sure to be a crowd. But this will be a whole new ball game as Global Force Wrestling brings its "MILB Grand Slam Tour" to Classic Park, home of the Lake County Captains, on Saturday, July 11, 2015.

The tour will feature stops from Florida to California and several points in between throughout the Summer months. Affordable tickets will go on sale in early May at CaptainsBaseball.com.

It's a grassroots approach building toward the first GFW broadcast event on Friday, July 24 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Minor-league parks operated by both private ownership and municipalities have agreed to play host to Global Force Wrestling shows when their baseball-playing tenants are out of town. It's an easy win for the parks, which gain another great source for revenue. For GFW it's a chance to build momentum, show off its roster and deliver on its mission statement to be the most fan interactive brand in sports entertainment.

"These ballparks are the center of attention in the summer in most of these cities, and we're eager to get out there and mix with our fans and show them what the GFW brand is all about," said Jeff Jarrett, Global Force Wrestling founder and CEO.

Dates for the summer ballpark tour are available on globalforcewrestling.com, and more information, including wrestling cards in each market and appearances by legendary wrestlers will be added in the coming weeks.

"Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling presented us with a great plan, one that will be beneficial to us and the Lake County community," said Brad Seymour, VP & General Manager of the Lake County Captains. "We know GFW will generate a lot of interest and excitement with the top talent they will bring to Classic Park for local wrestling fans."

Global Force Wrestling will roll out its talent roster in the next couple of weeks. It's a lineup filled with speed and power, righties and lefties, starters and closers, sure to provide thrills at every ballpark.
