Jeff Hammond, the well-groomed TV reporter for Fox Sports and former championship crew chief, is set to make his professional wrestling debut next month. Hammond, 48, will be part of a TNA Wrestling’s “Against All Odds” pay-per-view event Feb. 13. He and wrestler BG James will face Michael Shane and Kazarian.

AND 2005 is set to be a crazy year on the track, What rookie will shine? Will DEI dominate? Who will hate who? and the racing year is starting out in even a crazier way as NASCAR’s own Jeff Hammond will set into a professional wrestling ring on February 13th not to commentate but to fight! The long time crew chief and FOX Sport’s analyst will compete in a tag team match on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s pay-per-view event “Against All Odds”. Hammond serves as a commentator and analyst for TNA Wrestling’s show on Fox Sports Net “iMPACT!”. He will team with BG James (formally Road Dogg in WWE) against the cocky young tag team of Kazarian and Michael Shane. Hammond commented on a recent “iMPACT!” “I have been dodging race cars my whole life, these two punks don’t scare me” This is an interesting story to start the racing season and I would like to talk to you further about Jeff and TNA Wrestling.(Trifecta Entertainment PR)(1-25-2005)
