That's right everyone. Last month, it was officially announced that the former Total Nonstop Action/Impact Wrestling merged with the greatest project in the history of our sport, Global Force Wrestling! We know that a merger is just the superior company absorbing the far inferior one, and I refuse to let us pretend otherwise. As such, come here for all discussion of all things Global Force!

Link to the previous Global Force Wrestling Discussion Thread (requires the Global Force Network): https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3626161&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

In April of 2014, Jeff Jarrett announced that he was going to change the world of wrestling with an elite batch of wrestlers, later announced to be the likes of Magnus Nick Aldis. Goons responded by MOCKING him, INSULTING him, yet here, a little after the 3 year anniversary of Global Force Wrestling's inception, it has 2 hours of weekly television (more than ROH, New Japan, and all those traitors wasting away in NXT), proving all the haters and doubters wrong. The next step is to getting a 1.0 TV rating again, which will put Global Force on the level of WWE.

List of GLOBAL FORCE CHAMPIONS, BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SPECTACULAR JEFF AND KAREN JARRETT:

GFW Global Champion: THE INCOMPARABLE, UNSTOPPABLE Magnus (who defeated NXT Champion Bobby Roode to win the title, proving Global Force > NXT)
GFW NEX*GEN Champion: Cody
GFW Women's Champion: Christina Von Eerie
GFW Tag Team Champions: Nobody is worthy of holding them.

Tapings may or may not have occured to change these.

Global Force Wrestling is also featuring the corpse of TNA's titles, but let's face it, none of those can stand up to the Supreme Talent of Global Force Wrestling.

Total Nonstop Action has #JoinedTheForce, World of Sport will soon follow, and it is about goddamn time for all of us to as well.

Every time I hear things about TNA its things like "LAX is back, but they replaced the best guy of the three with someone who sucks because he's too busy being great in New Japan." Its pretty amazing.

Moreso.

There were like 3 or 4 matches where the winners would face off in a multiman for a title shot.

Hernandez won one of his qualifiers, and then was in the match.

They cut the matches and blurred him out in some roster shots and had to fill time like crazy.

Reminder that late last year TNA also had to blur out a ref in a Hardys match because he was signed to Lucha Underground.

The Hernandez situation was a lot worse.

The ref was a one in a million thing of happening (It was a show in Mexico and only a few refs in Mexico who have a US tv contract.) And only was in one segment.

Hernandez wanted out of LU (possibly be because his last angle involved angry neckbeards whipping him with belts because he said dragons weren't real), and got conditionally released.

He couldn't work on TV until Ultima Lucha finished, got back into TNA via MVP, never told anyone about the condition, so they inserted him into the ME picture and was written into like a quarter of the show.

At no point did TNA ever call LU to clear it woth them, and they had to scrap and rewrite a show they already had in the can. MVP got canned too.

Oopsy, posted in the wrong thread. It was meant for the NWA thread. But I'm sure they'd love to at least own the NWA brand out and out.

Hernandez just didn't want to end up stuck on the one show with fewer viewers than TNA.
