Jeff Jarrett w/ the LONGEST Con (TNA is now GFW)

[Dark One]

Via Cageside Seats (https://www.cagesideseats.com/impact-wrestling/2017/6/30/15905854/anthem-renames-tna-gfw-global-force-impact-wrestling) and The Tennessean (http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2017/06/30/tna-wrestling-rebrands-gfw-eyes-global-expansion/435802001/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter)

When Anthem Entertainment announced they’d officially acquired Global Force Wrestling (GFW) earlier this week, many people asked what it was they were acquiring.

It was an easy joke, yes, but GFW didn’t have much in the way of tangible assets. What they did have, however, was a name that wasn’t a double entendre and that wrestling fans didn’t often say with LOL in front of it.

So, according to a story just published in The Tennessean, the newspaper which covers TNA’s headquarters city of Nashville, from here forward Anthem’s wrestling company will be known as GFW. Their weekly show on Pop TV, Fight Network and other outlets will keep the title Impact.

Obviously, Anthem also acquired Jeff Jarrett, and this announcement confirms he remains in charge of all creative aspects of what is now GFW.

We’ll surely be hearing more about this as Anthem and GFW use this as a fresh start for their branding, and attempt to build off recent ratings increase and the social media success touted in The Tennessean article to grow on across the world with new initiatives like a new on-demand streaming app they plan to make the centerpiece of their video strategy.

Jeff Jarrett is truly the Machiavelli of our time.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is the most TNA thing ever.

1) Start company
2) Get forced out of company, but keep a percentage
3) Start new company
4) New company flounders and starts selling gold bars to idiots on the internet
5) Old company begs your new company to work with them.
6) Old company gets bought out and you get put back in charge.
7) Old company buys your new company which is basically a webpage and some title belts.


All it's missing is a midget in a trash can. Fully expecting a backstage angle on an upcoming show of someone throwing TNA logos into the trash, only for Swoggle to pop out of the trash can and chase them off.

Interesting. Mildly interesting. The GFW brand was just kind of hovering about, it's hard to get excited about it simple being renamed, you know? I'm curious to see how TNA rebuilds, but it's going to be long and arduous, if even possible.

[Dark One]

95% sure Anthem is laundering drug money.

[Dark One]

Let's remember some MOTHERFUCKING GFW!

Gold money.*

[Mr. Nerfect]

Fuck, you beat me to it.

[Dark One]

..and I guess that's it. Sorry guys.

Jeff Jarrett reminds me of that fungi that takes over ants' brains and makes them bite into trees until they die.

No news yet on how much Global Force Gold Anthem had to buy to make this happen.

:naughty:

[Dark One]

I would guess at least 40 gold bars were exchanged.

[Dark One]

Is Jeff Jarrett the greatest salesman of all time?

[Mr. Nerfect]

He couldn't sell me on slapnuts.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Had no clue that Jeff Jarrett was AAA Mega Champion at one point. He was also in Spring Breakers.

[Dark One]

Jeff Jarrett is easily the greatest carny of all time.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I sometimes just sit around and mark out about him getting Vince to pay him out the ass to drop the IC Title to Chyna.

[Simple Fan]

So its now GFW Impact and not just Impact Wrestling? Honestly I think they should have stuck with Impact but this gives them a acronym thats not a joke at least. Still need to find tbeir identity though. They have TNA branded titles, a Impact branded title, and all the GFW titles which the tag titles have already been unified.

It just doesn't roll off the tounge like LOLTNA. LOLAnthem does though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fuck That Owl is still king

[Mr. Nerfect]

GFW just doesn't sound as sleek as a wrestling initialism should.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Does this mean that the SCG Radio guys can finally do a Death of TNA special?

Motherfucker, I'm going to need some royalties if that's the case.

I ALREADY DID ALL THE WORK (http://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread.php?p=4866707#post4866707)

[Dark One]

Spammies are bullshit. That thread should have won me best supporting poster easy.

[Emperor Smeat]

At least this explains why Impact spent a lot of time promoting GFW titles and stuff when it barely made sense from a rebuilding perspective.

Russo might top him only because of the amount of times people gave him a booking job.

[JimmyMess]

this is like when Mick Foley entered the Royal Rumble as his 3 different characters..

Except that was awesome... this is just fucked

[Dark One]

Russo might top him only because of the amount of times people gave him a booking job.

Before today, I would have agreed.

I think Russo's been dethroned with this absurd coup.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jeff Jarrett reminds me of a cuckoo pushing eggs out of a nest.

[Volare]

Global Force Total Nonstop lolAction Wrestling?

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's always going to be TNA to some degree. They are not going to be able to shake that vibe.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Or the association from their Wikipedia page.

[Volare]

Gettha Fuckoutaahere Wrestling.

[Lock Jaw]

Jeff Jarrett also managed to hire Kurt Angle, and then steal his wife.

[drave]

Gettha Fuckoutaahere Wrestling.
:y:

[Bad News Gertner]

He's literally the worst businessman ever

[Mr. Nerfect]

He didn't sell even paranoid me any gold.

[Maluco]

Somewhat unrelated, but just watched OSW Review of Lockdown 2007. These are the same people who brought you the hilarious electric steel cage and untied sacks in place of blindfolds...in a blindfold match.

Jarrett and his cronies have always had limited intelligence. Much like Wildcat and Cowboy, it's the blind leading the blind. TNA, GFW, WTF, under any banner, it's going nowhere

[drave]

Thread Title Change to Getthe FuckOuttahere Wrestling seems appropriate.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jarrett sometimes seems to get wrestling, and other times he does a Triple H impersonation and keeps hiring Russo.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What are they going to call the show now?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What are they going to call the show now?

GFW Impact

[drave]

What are they going to call the show now?

Gettha Fuckoutaahere Wrestling IMPACT!

Had no clue that Jeff Jarrett was AAA Mega Champion at one point. He was also in Spring Breakers.

Well, it didn't help that he was only referenced as champ like once, and the belt was blurred out the brief snippets that it aired in it's actual form and then physically disguised as some heavly altered "champion of Mexico" prop that he carried around on TV but never made mention of ever again... it was literally like a fashion accessory.

[KIRA]

Jeff Jarrett is the Professor Harold Hill of wrestling.
