My favorite thing about Global Force Wrestling is the very real possibility that Vince Russo will be involved at some point

Global Force Wrestling has a youtube web series about Jeff Jarrett's journey across the country and as far as I can tell it's just video from the inside of a moving car with inspirational speeches from movies playing over indie wrestling clips

Has anyone actually #JoinedTheForce other than Jeff and Karen (and Toby Keith, maybe)? And more importantly, does Jeff actually think this is going to be anything, or is he aware he's running a pyramid scheme disguised as a promotion?

no, yes, yes

Am I nuts for feeling like this is the only legit piece of news as far as #JoiningTheForce so far, but that it is in fact something?

when jeff jarrett hires a wrestler other than himself it's something. Until that moment this is just a one-man invasion

I know this is essentially none of you, but I'll ask anyway: If you've never watched a New Japan show, but are going to start because of GFW, please watch it with the original Japanese commentary, not with JR.

I just can't see him having the right tone to make it feel like a New Japan show.

this is missing the point on why someone who doesnt already care about new japan would start watching now that it's available in english

Also it assumes that anybody actually cares about global force wrestling

oatgan
Jan 15, 2009

is there any chance that GFW Presents: Wrestlekingdom 9 isn't a huge failure? I'd like be to optimistic but I really can't envision this doing any buys. Grabbing JR was honestly pretty smart but he's literally the biggest name they can advertise here that anybody will care about. I guess you could promote AJ Styles but he's halfway down the card.

oatgan
Jan 15, 2009

GFW's WK9 will have middle acts/conclusions to a lot of angles you wouldnt get without the context of previous shows (most especially the main event) so english commentary is good for first-time watchers and a lot of people in general. To say everything will happen in the ring on January 4th is a bit reductive, so please be respectful

It's more of a scale than a firm divide in NJPW. Suzuki-gun is heel against all other factions but face against Bullet Club.

except during the G1 when AJ Styles got the crowd behind him in a match with Minoru. Hell they even popped huge when the Bullet Club interfered to chase off Suzuki-gun

Im not quite sure if I understand what GFW Wrestle Kingdom 9 is going to be: is this a NJPW ppv that Jarrett is sort of producing for an American audience or are there going to be signed GFW wrestlers (lol, I know) also wrestling?

GFW isn't a real thing with employees, or wrestlers, or shows. They are just helping distribute a NJPW PPV in America.

I was perhaps too hasty in calling it a fake wrestling promotion. I absolutely loved their first show New Japan Pro Wrestling presents Wrestlekingdom 9: Presented by Global Force Wrestling and selfishly want more.

I've seen promotions in bumfuck nowhere with a better roster than GFW so I'm actually thoroughly convinced Jeff Jarrett is dragging this on until he can find a money mark to pay for their entire thing without having to spend any of his own money.

The only part of the roster that sucks is Tapa and Trinidad which is kinda inexcusable given how easy it is to find talented women on the indies otherwise it's pretty good just small

On the other hand it's really difficult to care because GFW is irrelevant.

Not that the press conference got any attention to begin with but it seems odd to hold back the single name indie wrestling fans care about until now
