Wasn't the merchandise percentage one of the things that drove Matt and Jeff away?

I mean the company taking cut from merch is expected but with that amount that's basically just saying that the talent is paid in TV time.

Taking away merch sales is a great way of making sure nobody who means a gently caress stays with your promotion.

Jeff Jarrett finally got GFW a tv deal by cannibalizing the company he founded. This still blows my mind to this day.

Good news for the talent now is that regardless if they sell 0 units of merch or 1 million units, they get the same amount of money. Really simplifies the process for them!

Konnan confirmed on his latest podcast that El Torito will sign with GFW. Was supposed to debut at the last tapings but had a knee injury

Yes, Swoggle is still on the roster

I feel a bit bad for Sharmell here because she at least looks like she once saw a wrestling match, even if she's poo poo at executing one. Then you have Jenna who doesn't seem to know what's going on.

From her interview with Marc Maron, assuming you're talking about her second stint post-WWE, this is pretty close to the truth.

My understanding is she was going through all sorts of bad body and mental stuff after she left from WWE.
