If Jarrett just uses Bischoff as an on screen authority guy and has him help with TV connections, it'll be fine.

I'm still dwelling on why it's in Jackson and not Nashville. I can't get past it.

I could possibly understand it not being held in the new Nashville stadium, because it's new and "gently caress the rasslin' fans, this is a BASEBALL stadium." There is the old one, though, it's apparently in good enough shape that a lower-division soccer team is thinking about relocating there.

The only thing I can think of is that the Memphis minor league park is occupied that night, and Nashville's a bit prohibitive to travel for Memphis fans. Jackson's close enough. I know I'd consider going to Jackson, but Memphis is too far away - maybe Jackson's the chance to draw crowds from Memphis AND Nashville.

And maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just "LOL Jarrett."

Also TIL pringles doesn't have the naming rights in Jackson anymore.

because it's a sold show

I'm just gonna do this for about two minutes, okay?
I was there for a minor league game tonight and I didn't even know Jeff Jarrett was gonna be there. He then announced his first show there and I was kinda stunned wondering why it would be in Jackson. But whatever, I'll take it. Got to meet him and Karen, that was cool.

The Ballpark has had Memphis Wrestling stuff before, so it's got a history of having wrestling there. Been a bit though.

I'd like to think that Jeff Jarrett has figured out not to hire Russo to do anything ever again but he also hired Eric Bischoff so uh

Is he actually involved or is he just doing appearances?

Dude, its Cornette, he'll be involved no matter what. Cornette's already back to working OVW dates.

I am so excited for GFW.

This is either going to be a bunch of solid shows, in which case the sheer shock will rival Lesnar beating Taker, or it's going to be a trainwreck not seen since the weekly TNA PPVs, except as a television show.

(It's going to be a trainwreck)

One year later, and it still rings true.

Except for the being a TV show part right now, I guess.

Also when the roster reveal happens I'm tempted to go through the photoshops and see which ones came true.

Count down to them announcing a roster of entirely names no one has heard of and then claiming they are repackaging guys under new gimmicks and no of course you can't know who we've hired or are repackaging what are you some kind of spoilsport no funhaver?

What big indie names can they realistically get?

I'd say it depends on what kind of contracts they're looking at. I doubt they are going to be able to lock anybody down from performing in other promotions so I could see a whole host of fairly big names (Roddy, Joe, Hero, Addiction, Sydal, etc.) make appearances. If they want to sign people up to exclusive deals I don't see them getting any big names.

But this is Global Force Wrestling so anything can happen baby!
