I picture a garbage chute leading from Vince's office straight down to a dumpster with a poorly painted GFW logo on it.

This would also go a long way toward explaining the grimy poo poo everyone is covered with in the official GFW photos.

post-Lesnar, WWE's no-compete clause changed to guarantee downside money if you don't work anywhere else during that time. Totally optional, you can waive it like both Colt and Chris Hero did.

No-compete clauses only apply to promotions with TV or PPV. Guys have always been able to do indies. Due to the nature of the clause you can pretty much do whatever you want but if you sign with a company that violates the clause you'll lose out on the 90 days of pay WWE sends you for not competing.

Nah. Sandow, Zeb and Hornswoggle did. Booker has the same deal as Lawler where they commentate but they can also do indy shows.

I actually had to check their website to see if GFW was still a thing and if they were doing shows, and holy poo poo, they somehow still are

quote:

Global Force bringing wrestling back to fair roots

Global Force Wrestling is preparing for a huge show on Thursday, July 28 in Valparaiso, Indiana, at the Porter County Fair.

GFW founder Jeff Jarrett spoke with the Northwest Indiana Times about what fans at the faigrounds can expect from a GFW event.

There will be a meet and greet with GFW co-founders Jeff and Karen Jarrett, GFW NEX*GEN champion Sonjay Dutt, GFW women’s champion Christina Von Eerie and more wrestling stars beginning at 5:30 p.m., with matches set to begin at 7:30. Also scheduled to appear are Hall of Famer Scott Hall, Chris “The Adonis” Mordetzky, Swoggle, Cody Deaner and Nick Cutler.

Cutler, a Northwest Indiana native, spoke about the opportunity to wrestle on a GFW card and his admiration for Jeff Jarrett with the LaPorte Herald Argus.

Strangely enough the story on their website doesn't mention some of the additional wrestlers that get named in the first link in the article.

quote:

‘Big Sexy’ Kevin Nash

Veteran movie alum—including featured roles in both “Magic Mike” movies, “The Longest Yard,” and “Rock of Ages”—as well as world-famous wrestling alum, Kevin Nash’s previous World Champion title in the WWE and WCW earned him the right and honor to be addressed as “Big Sexy.” Nash is a founding member of the NWO, the renowned group that changed professional wrestling.

Colt ‘Boom Boom’ Cabana

Chicago’s own, Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana, is coming home to Chicagoland. This versatile self-starter has the talent to back up the “wow” factor he brings to the ring. Cabana is from Maxwell Street in Chicago, but he has worldwide wrestling experience.

the upshot is that the heat will dry out Jeff and Karen so fans can enjoy hungover Jeff Jarrett instead of belligerently drunk Jeff Jarrett

How dare they not mention Kevin Nash's feature roles in "John Wick" and the Thomas Jane "Punisher". :mad:

Of his own money? Maybe not much -- I thought he was mostly funding this with other people's scratch.

Other than IWA Mid-South and Juggalo Championship Wrestling his wikipedia page lists Kongo Kong as having a bunch of one-off championships at indies I've never heard off with his only notable major industry experience being at GFW. Think about that.

Save us, Buff Bagwell.

PWI has him ranked at #223 so he's objectively better than 277 wrestlers.
