Additional information about the complete wrestling card for the Eastlake stop will be announced in the coming weeks.

The event is part of 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.

Don't miss a special Thursday Night Fireworks show presented by Center for Dental Health on July 23! The Captains will take on the Fort Wayne TinCaps at 7 PM that night. The game will be followed by the fireworks display set to the music of everyone's favorite Top 40 Hits!
