Jim Ross, who says he's had talks with Jeff Jarrett about potentially calling Global Force television, revealed details on the planned format of GFW's TV show.

Ross said in a new interview that Global Force is planning a 13-episode shoot consisting of 12 one-hour shows, then a two-hour finale.

Ross also told the Baltimore Sun that he's not sure if he can make the commitment to call the shows, although he enjoyed working with GFW color commentator Chael Sonnen on a recent MMA PPV broadcast.

"I would be very interested in working with Global Force, it's just a matter of time obligations and budgets and everything. Everything has to fit schedule-wise," Ross told reporter Aaron Oster.

"Adding 13 weeks of TV tapings, then going to Nashville and doing voice-overs, all of a sudden it becomes a pretty big project. And I have so many projects already in the pipeline. I just don't know if we're going to be able to balance everything to make that happen. I'm not against it, Jeff and I have talked about it. I just don't know that I can do it because of the time obligations."

Ross said Global Force still has to find a network to air the shows, but he thinks the key strength for the show will be the assembled roster.

"I think that they can do a real good TV show with the roster they're putting together," Ross said. "There's some real good wrestlers coming in. They'd be fun to call."

Global Force's first scheduled TV taping is Friday, July 24 at The Orleans in Las Vegas, followed by Friday, August 21, and Friday, October 23.
