Has Jeff done a Kickstarter for this GFW thing yet? Because this feels exactly like one of those Kickstarter scams. like the OUYA or something.

the OUYA actually produced a thing that you could own(granted it might catch fire but whatever). GFW has 8x10s.

As long as Russo doesn't get involved, GFW could do a good bit as a regional indie with national television. Be like a showcase or something.

How is it carny as hell?

Let's look at it from the other perspective.

New Japan Pro Wrestling, a company that is extremely risk averse in foreign markets has found a guy to assume all the risks in broadcasting their first live PPV in the US. This is a miniscule part of their overall business for the show and probably the only thing this guy is remotely good at. New Japan has nothing to lose in this situation, but somehow Jeff Jarrett is the guy who pulled some amazing move?

its basically free money for JJ. PPV providers take their cut, JJ takes his and the rest go back to NJPW. JJ does exactly gently caress all other than sign a few papers and promote the thing. Which based on TNA's promotion will be him walking up to random people in airports and telling them about the PPV.

Promoting the thing is the expensive part of the American side of the PPV. NJPW already has the show, them providing it to a third party to put on PPV is risk free for them compared to Jeff.

yeah, I'm not exactly expecting him to break into his Toby Keith wooing fund for this. Its probably going to be tweets and youtubes at the max.

if they're gonna get combat sports announcer that sometimes say stupid poo poo than i want the best and i want michael schiavello because at least he'll do his research and have some idea of what he's talking about

Schiavello has called prowrestling bouts before and is actually pretty good at it.

I'll be curious if JR can match Nogami's level of poo poo losing during hype matches.
