Global Wrestling League Returns!
Written by Darren Smith
Yes, its not a surprise to hear his now, but, once again, GWL has clawed its way back from the dead. Its gone from a world tour, that only lasted ten weeks, with eight of those weeks in America, and the last two in Mexico, to a television show to now its next incarnation, monthly wrestling events. GWL owner Eric Martin announced on his official website this past week that he has worked long and hard to resurrect his company once again and get the band back together. Former World Champions, Zane Taylor and Ace Bennett, being the first two names to have confirmed to have signed new contracts with the company. The rest are likely soon to follow, but you never know what happens in the business of wrestling. Also with that announcement came a date for their first show, which will be held in Manchester, England, on March 11th, 2012. Tickets will be available to buy on January 23rd. Be sure to check back here for announcements on the card, which will be filled over the next few weeks. |

Good to see this back, loved all the previous shows. Just hope you can keep this up for a good couple of pages at least. Monthly shows seems like an easier thing to do. Zane and Ace are good signings. Just hoping you bring in Zanes stable once more. I'd like links to the previous diairies to read before you start this and it would give newer guys a chance to read up. Good luck and do keep this up.

Roster Update
Written by Darren Smith
Less than 24 hours since Ace Bennett and Zane Taylor were announced as the first two stars to once again grace the ring in GWL, Taylor's Your Worst Nightmares stable mates, Steven Kagemann and Jason Williams, have signed with GWL. With four original GWL roster members now back with the company, owner Eric Martin says he is confident that Duan Sanchez Jr. will be close to signing as well. Martin said, "Duan was our biggest name in the company. He doesn't need to be GWL World Champion to prove that. Just watch his match against AJ Styles on the World Tour back in 2009, that shows you why he is the best GWL had in that time". Duan hasn't responded to any comments about returning to the company once again, leaving his return to still be in question.
Check back for more news on the roster, as well as the card for GWL's return show, which is held in Manchester, England on March 11th. |

Good signings. If the Harts win the titles again then they would have won and been stripped of the titles 3 times. Liked CKJ before, so glad to see him resign. Cody and Jack are good signings too. Good two matches announced, can see YWN interfering or causing ruckus in the Bennett/Zane match. This Duan stuff is intresting and going against typical re-signing diary things. Good luck and keep this up.
