PLus they had deals with some weirdo satellite carrier so you could watch impact in Cameroon and other places I can't readily find on a map.

They were on Bravo, I think, and it was there. I imagine kids who didn't have sky sports subs would have watched that. I tried watching it on bravo a couple of times and it was bottled shite. but I imagine if you were starved of wrestling then it was a decent option.

I think it was AJ Styles on Observer Radio who mentioned kinda sadly that the whole roster was basically holding out hope for the brand based on their popularity in the UK, only to find out that apart from a good sized house on the odd tour they did there the numbers didn't really translate in any way to money being made

Literally nothing TNA has ever done has resulted in money being made and AJ's a drat idiot if he thought a UK tour was going to save them.

SO GFW ordered a new set of belts to debut at the first TV taping (Monday) after the PPV and when they got them they still said "Impact Wrestling". You can take the TNA out of TNA but you can never take the TNA out of TNA.

I know the show is still going to be called Impact but "Impact Wrestling" was the quasi-rebrand name post the Anthem buyout right, so the new belts didn't say GFW on them anywhere?

I suppose it's possible that the belts were ordered before the re-brand was finalized and nobody bothered to tell the company that made them, but that's still pretty goddamned retarded.

"Well, this is only a moderately embarrassing gently caress up instead of an ungodly bad gently caress up and that's an improvement for TNA." Not that I disagree, but how is this company still around after 15 years?

GFW is a privately-held company and will thoroughly investigate this incident and fully cooperate with law enforcement.” quote:Alberto, who unified the company’s Global Championship with the Impact Wrestling Championship at Slammiversary, was heavily featured in storylines at the most recent taping.
