Taken from a source on Reddit who's been very reliable in the past when it came to dirtsheet stuff.

I can confirm that Jim Ross will be announcing the New Japan Pro Wrestling pay-per-view that is taking place on January 4th, 2015.
Jeff Jarrett will be helping produce this PPV and NJPW will be working with Jarrett's new company Global Force Wrestling.
GFW is distributing the PPV in the US, and JR will be doing the play-by-play for them.
The Young Bucks are also confirmed to be on this PPV. I have been told that whenever GFW runs shows, the Bucks will be a main staple on those shows.
Jeff Jarrett met with ROH officials recently to discuss an agreement on how to use talent such as the Bucks. So it is safe to say we will be seeing ROH talent involved in GFW.

EDIT: Nevermind, JR debunked that announcement and said he has prior commitments for that week.

Jeff and I agreed to have him on the Ross Report Podcast that will drop on December 16 via text messages.
So, here's the bottom line, if we do work out something and it's going to take a helluva deal for me to miss my birthday, a weekend in Vegas with my wife and the UFC on January 3 to see @RondaRousey fight to travel to Tokyo to do pro wrestling with a new partner, a new crew and a new talent roster. IF we are able to make a deal, then the publicity seeking "source" can brag that he was right all along.
I'm not looking to do any pro wrestling but I'm also a businessman and if the offer is one that I can't realistically turn down then we will consider it and if we commit I will be "all in" and will travel to Tokyo to do play by play of a pro wrestling match like it was my last one.
