Global Force Wrestling Roster EARTHSHATTERING ANNOUCEMENTS
 

I feel like a backyard poster. God damnit.

The TNA is strong in this one. Hyping a roster announcement that ends up being five people, one of which is a former UFC loud mouth who will be commentating wrestling for probably the first real time.

Gallows plus Anderson is pretty solid I guess, but not sure since I don't follow Theor Japanese work. The other two guys are solid too, but no real star power here.

Three duplexes out of sixteen.

Karl Anderson is Ken Kennedy?

No, he is Gallow's partner in NJPW I believe.

If that's the best he can do then no reason to care.

Assuming those are the only big star names for GFW, wonder if Sonnen is the one the dirtsheets had hinted GFW managed to snag away from the WWE's grasp. Was supposed to be a big name and one that the WWE had been interested in a while for a possible deal.

I like all of those guys.

BUT

This isn't exactly an "earth-shaking announcement." If he's looking to distance himself from TNA's reputation of hyping WWE midcarders as big deals, a roster made up of three former WWE midcarders and one of their tag partners from Japan is not exactly comforting.

Star-wise, the partnership GFW has with NJPW is going to help. As well as the one they have in Mexico with AAA although might have some issues using both at the same time.

NJPW only has a working deal with AAA's rival in Mexico I think.

TV + NJPW partnership = potential KOKESHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII on US tv :D

And LARIIIIATTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's

outta nowhere

Honestly, I was hoping for a more international flair. Obviously, he's already talked extensively about some of the Japanese guys they're bringing in, but it feels like today would have been the day to highlight some of those guys instead. Obviously, there's nobody left that would have a real "Oh my god, they got HIM!!?" reaction, so I'd rather him put the spotlight on the new guys and the international guys rather than the "cast-offs."

As I said though, I like all of these guys, and I'll certainly give them a shot. Just feels underwhelming for the Big Announcement From The Alternative Promotion.

<font color=goldenrod>I quite like everybody who's been announced so far. I'm sure they'll sprinkle in a few unknowns as well.

Also even though it's been a running joke for quite some time, I was never sure why TNA signing ex-WWE guys is viewed as a bad thing. Sometimes WWE let go of people who were genuinely not used to the best of their potential. It's not like they signed a guy like Kozlov who even they know is shit.</font>

WOOO FAMOUS HOOT

Don't fucking tease me

Moose is a good one don't know how he got him away from ROH. The Bullet Club and Killer Elite Squad in the tag team division is a good start. Has to be some big names coming later I have a feeling Goldberg might be involved in GFW.

If they sign former WWE guys, everyone's gonna call it lame because signing old WWE guys is "easy". If they sign guys who aren't from WWE, everyone's gonna call it lame because they aren't a big deal.

Seriously, what the fuck are they supposed to do?

Hope they get a decent TV deal now.

well this is the first wave, if they start showing good competition and Jarret pays his guys well more guys are going to come through and want to join. give it time.

Not expecting much from this at all. If it does end up doing well though I'll be pleasantly surprised. Some of the guys mentioned are pretty decent so there could be some fun to be had if Jarret doesn't fuck up.

I wonder how many guys from Ring Ka King Jarrett is gonna sign?

I expect you to be GFW champion by 2016.

No Titan announced on the roster yet :'(

A bunch of jobbers. They need huge names if anyone is going to pay attention and these guys are not it.

What huge names are sitting out there on the market that you suggest they get?

I hear Maven is available.

Maven - That one guy who won that one show and eliminated Undertaker from that one match that one time.

That guy?

He is going to need a deal from NJPW to make this work.

I mean, Okada could be huge, but Nakamura would be amazing.

Shelton Benjamin wouldn't be a bad grab. Him or like JTG if he is still wrestling. Basically, they'd be smart to get a charismatic black guy to get behind.

Joey Ryan would be a nice grab. Colt Cabana, Chuck Taylor, and Johnny Gargano I think are all free. None of these guys are "big" though.

Not sure who they can get to be a "big name", but they could have a nice roster...

He will probably get AJ Styles though.

Don't understand peoples' cynicism. What were you expecting? Them announcing they got Seth Rollins out of his WWE contract to sign there?

I actually can't wait to see this if they get a tv deal.

that partnership with New Japan could be huge. I'd love to see Okada, Nakamura and Tanahashi on the show as well.

Karl Anderson is a great addition to their roster.

This sounds exciting!

But what Im really excited for right now is the truly EARTHSHATTERING announcement of an IRON MAN match between MINIAK and her husband Swede Savard!

I AM PUMPED!

It's not the roster thats a worry it's the fact theres so much wrestling out there that you need an x-factor to get attention....Lucha Underground/ROH/CHIKARA all have a 'niche', this just lioks like a poor mans TNA...although it is a fledgling company so will prol grow better

Moose is no jobber, he has been in ROH for a bit and used to play in the NFL. He is pretty agile to be a big guy.

They haven't run a show yet...

They should get Scott Steiner to do play by play with Chael Sonnen
