Well if I had known I could start a wrestling promotion just by slapping my name on another company's product I would have done it years ago!

TNA's first show was main evented by Ken Shamrock vs. The Wall. GFW's first show might be main evented by Okada vs. Tanahashi. #JoinTheFarce

So… are they going to brand like… the ring? The banners? Isn't there going to be some disconnect when there's a fat GFW logo in the corner, but a giant lion's head on the mat?

So basically GFW acquired the rights to Global Impact.

Wow. Court Bauer spoke about New Japan doing PPV through an American promotion. I thought he was just being coy about ROH. e: Jarrett vs. Tanahashi: Dome Show main event!

So New Japan's history with American promotions looks something like: 1978-1985: WWE 1989-1990: AWA 1992-1993: WCW 1993-1994: WWE 1995-2000: WCW 2008-2011: TNA 2013-2014: NWA 2014-2014: ROH 2015: GFW EugeneJ fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Sep 29, 2014 |

dsriggs posted:Connections with American PPV companies, apparently. So does Jeff Jarrett have some special connections to the PPV industry that say Ring of Honor or literally any one else couldn't make? Does he plan on advertising the shows here? How are people supposed to know or give a poo poo about "GFW" when NJPW is already at least a somewhat known commodity (granted to internet wrasslin' nerds, but still more known than "GFW") None of this makes any sense Edit: MassRafTer posted:Probably just dealing with all of the US side business details and costs.

I just hope the basic presentation is kept unchanged with the exception of the additions of his logo and probably bad announcers. Their hype videos are awesome even when you can't understand them.

NJPW stayed affiliated with WCW in 93 and 94, WCW was their American PPV provider for several shows in that period, ending with Kollision in Korea.

Jeff Jarrett is in the Bullet Club. Bullet Club is a heel faction like the nWo. Is this going to be like nWo Souled Out? Who is the GFW Band? Who wins Miss GFW? Are Mike Tenay and Don West on commentary the whole night? Glo-Glo-Glo-Glo-Global Force Wrestling

GFW is going to be the modern day equivalent of the Tokyopop FMW videos where two white guys make up names for Japanese wrestlers and pretend they can feel the explosions happening in the ring from 7 years prior to their commentary.

Sydney Bottocks posted:GFW should put him with their top heel, as I know I would boo the poo poo out of that guy and anyone who brought him along to the ring with them. A faction of heel managers with Slap Chop guy, Jonny Fairplay and Dustin Diamond of Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling fame. They could all hide behind big lovely wrestlers like Brodus Clay, Prince Albert and Drew McIntyre. Book it!

As dumb as it sounds, getting middleman money would be a decent start to finance your own vanity wrestling promotion.

John Cena posted:if they're launching the first show the day after wrestlemania in the same metro area that would be pretty crafty on his part. dunno what it means for long term growth though, i'd imagine they'd need to find a central location starting out. A show on a Monday head to head with the hottest show off the year seems misguided. A better bet would be for Saturday.
