They thought that TNA naming a PPV after an archaic Sega console was a good idea, so they went all in.

Jeff Jarrett on #theForce (spoiler: no one is currently part of #TheForce)"The LAW via the Observer site posted:At the very end, I knew it was time to move on [from TNA]. I’m very grateful and thankful. The TNA fanbase over the years - very loyal and passionate. I can’t say enough about my TNA years, but I knew in 2014 it was time for something new. With Global Force, the vision I have for it is - you know, people love professional wrestling. Some people call it a “dirty word,” some people call it sports entertainment. It’s all one and the same. I believe in 2014 professional wrestling, it’s time to evolve. As the weeks and months get there, I’m gonna be very excited to share that vision. At this time, I’m keeping it very close to the vest. The journey videos that we’re posting on GlobalForceWrestling.com and all through social media, I want to literally immerse the fanbase from day one. Yes, I’ve talked to a lot of wrestlers but there’s not one wrestler signed yet. We’re really close on making some talent announcements, but we’re in negotiations on every level. With the way technology is today - can I share everything? I don’t think that’d be very smart or prudent business, but I can share as much as I can for the wrestling press, as well as the Hollywood Reporters of the world and Variety. I’ve had people reach out to me in New York and LA that are in the television business, but they’re mesmerized with the amount of information that we are sharing, bringing the fans along literally step by step in this journey, because they’re a part of the journey. http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/118-daily-updates/37244-jeff-jarrett-talks-leaving-tna-and-his-maintaining-ownership

EugeneJ posted:From a new interview with John Morrison: You're misreading. He's saying he's wrestling Jeff Jarrett (somewhere, presumably an indy) on Dec 6 and will probably talk about GFW at that event. He's talked to TNA as well but doesn't want to relocate to Florida to work for them. I guess he thinks TNA is still in the Impact Zone.

I guess cutting out any ROH talent would make it easier for him to shoehorn Wrestle Kingdom into the 4-hour timeslot he has on PPV....

So what was Jeff Jarrett's big announcement? The NJPW thing? The Observer said there'd be an announcement at 10am but not the time zone or anything.

Great White Hope posted:The 10AM is from Jarrett's twitter, and based on his other tweets he meant Central Time Zone, so the announcement should happen in about 10 minutes. Cool, thanks. I hope it's that he's signed CM Punk and GFW's first show is at the Superdome.

Flameingblack posted:UFC is probably more like NJPW than NJPW is to WWE. WWE is focused on story-telling, while NJPW and UFC are focused on the fights and the rivalries, and those two alone can carry a show. People are no doubt buying Wrestle Kingdom just for how hot the Tanahashi/Okada rivalry has gotten alone. I've watched UFC with first-timers a lot and it's incomprehensible to them when it comes to ground game. "Why aren't they doing anything" is a common complaint (and you see this at their live shows with people chanting 'boring' at times as well) which is where the commentary can help explain what's actually happening. In all likelihood, a new viewer to NJPW is going to see moves and psychology that they're not used to with a North American product, especially if they only watch WWE and TNA. If this first show doesn't hook them, how likely would they be to order another? You say yourself that it took you a couple shows to get the vibe of the promotion.

triplexpac posted:Is anyone arguing that english commentary is a bad thing? I'm having a hard time getting a read on what exactly we are debating anymore. I think that's what sparked the debate - HDH saying that you shouldn't watch NJPW with english commentary and instead watch it ~*the way it was meant to be*~ but who knows anymore.

The TNAMecca people are pretty sad they got Thea Trinidad, Gabriel and KES for what it's worth. I don't know if either of those acts was ever a realistic possiblity for TNA but they seem to think so.

triplexpac posted:It's fun to rip on GFW but am I the only one who thinks that Double J actually seems like a cool guy? Besides starting terrible wrestling promotions you never really hear too much bad about him, but maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. He's the only wrestler to ever be in a Harmony Korine movie so he wins with me, but that rapidly changes when I have to see him onscreen for more than like 2 weeks.

Check out these incredible bargains, and there's no way in the world that Don West didn't write that description.

quote:In the storied history of pro wrestling, only ONE individual has ever taken a wrestling company completely from scratch and turned it into a global entity. That man? Jeff Jarrett. You can run through the power-player last names of our industry, past and present. McMahon. Crockett. Turner. Bischoff. Heyman. All of them have daunting resumes. None of them has done what Jeff Jarrett has. Now, Jarrett, who turned the impossible into the improbable and succeeded where no one else could, is doing it again. There will always be critics. There will always be skeptics. But it is easier to try than to prove it can’t be done. There is not an imaginary jacking off motion big enough for this graf right here

It sounds like such a big accomplishment until you realize the global entity he's talking about is the wrestling version of Sideshow Bob continually stepping on rakes. e: GFW is going to the UK for some reason quote:Global Force Wrestling announces first UK dates, matches will include Nick Aldis, Doug Williams quote:"What's unique about this is we wanted to bring high-caliber shows to towns that haven't previously had access to them, with most touring companies staying exclusively in major cities like London, Manchester and Glasgow.

They only mention those two towns. I don't know if a Scotland date or any others are in the plans, but with this company who knows. What's a comparable-sized town in Scotland? The two towns they mention sound like made-up Game of Thrones set pieces to me.
