Global Force Wrestling thread

I'd say the new wrestlers like Bad Bones are on fairly low money since they are not well known in the States. It's the smart thing to do when looking to cut costs.

I know Bad Influence have their contracts up soon so if Jarrett can get his promotion started before then, I reckon they will be two of the first names signed.

Assuming they dont try and make everyone exclusive like TNA did, there is a fcuk tonne of talent available now. Hero, Styles and Shelley as your main eventers (not to mention the likes of Cole, Steen, Elgin etc), Bad Influence and Young Bucks as your top tag teams. Sorted.

Another new video - http://vimeo.com/87951598

Great to see Karen in so little clothes but anyone get the impression that they're going to announce a Karen/Jeff reality series and not a new wrestling company :P

The videos so far have been **** to be fair.

My best defence of her is that she is/was a REALLY big star in AAA in Mexico. Jeff was the one hanging on her coat tails not the other way round.

I'm reading some reports about AJ, Matt Hardy, Crimson and John Morrison possibly joining Jeff in his new promotion but the website doesn't seem all that reliable. But if so, it's a good mix of established faces and a wasted talent in TNA.

The promotion hasnt even been confirmed yet. It's just sites naming free agents.

From Jeff's Twitter:

Some Indy gut I think. Couldn't be a Main Event player with a name like Phil!

Wouldn't say so. Seems more like a Phil Brooks guy. At least for the moment anyway.

Looks too skinny. A stupid haircut and way too many tattoo's. He'll never make it. :pac:

Think it's safe to forget about it for the time being. Toby Keith has come out and said that the new project will debut on CMT in January 2015. And its rumoured that a Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett reality series would be the lead in to the new promotion.

CMT is basically MTV and is a sister channel of Spike.

rovert

Dave Meltzer said that part of Jeff Jarrett's "release" from TNA was that he couldn't approach SPIKE TV about the project so yeah CMT seems to be the destination.

Moneymaker

Doubt they can afford Punk unless it's a short-term/one time appearance.

Toby Keith's net worth last year was $320 million. If Keith goes all in, they could afford him quite easily, but the problem is how interested would Punk be.

Jeff Jarrett's big announcement is today too.

Jeff Jarrett announces new promotion, Global Force Wrestling

rovert

Sounds like a name from a fantasy Pro Wrestling game.

rovert

Yeah this continues to come across as rinky dink. The press release wasn't proof read, the promotion name seems very dated and graphic design of the logo is ****e:

Was gonna say...sounds like something from my feed days.

Mediocre website, no attached talent, nothing about a TV deal or any kind of business model. But they do have t-shirts! They shouldn't have launched with this little info.

Website has already crashed. Something that shouldn't happen if you knew what you were doing - dedicated servers are fairly cheap.

Looks like something straight out of the year 2000.

B.A._Baracus

That logo doesn't look great. Looks like something you would have seen in the late 90's.

Website is terrible too So far it looks like the type of effort you would see from a local indy on a shoe-string budget.

Their website address is incorrect in their Twitter header:

Mr.Saturn

What gap in the market has he identified that he didn't try fill with the original incarnation of TNA?

Also, 'Join the Force' is getting a cease & desist from Lucasfilms/Disney in 5, 4, 3, 2............
