Jeff Jarrett w/ the LONGEST Con (TNA is now GFW)
 
Via Cageside Seats and The Tennessean

Quote:

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 06-30-2017 05:58 PM

95% sure Anthem is laundering drug money.

Dark One 06-30-2017 06:01 PM

Let's remember some MOTHERFUCKING GFW!

Gold money.*

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 06:02 PM

Fuck, you beat me to it.

Dark One 06-30-2017 06:02 PM

..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 06-30-2017 06:04 PM

I would guess at least 40 gold bars were exchanged.

Dark One 06-30-2017 06:05 PM

Is Jeff Jarrett the greatest salesman of all time?

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 06:07 PM

He couldn't sell me on slapnuts.

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 06:09 PM

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

Dark One 06-30-2017 06:35 PM

Jeff Jarrett is easily the greatest carny of all time.

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 06:39 PM

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 06-30-2017 06:42 PM

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.

drave 06-30-2017 06:58 PM

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

Fuck That Owl is still king

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 07:13 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 07:13 PM

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

Dark One 06-30-2017 07:35 PM

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

Emperor Smeat 06-30-2017 07:39 PM

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 06-30-2017 07:40 PM

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

Except that was awesome... this is just fucked

Before today, I would have agreed.

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

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 07:52 PM

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

Volare 06-30-2017 08:05 PM

Global Force Total Nonstop lolAction Wrestling?

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 08:07 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 06-30-2017 08:07 PM

Or the association from their Wikipedia page.

Volare 06-30-2017 08:14 PM

Gettha Fuckoutaahere Wrestling.

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

He's literally the worst businessman ever

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2017 07:56 PM

He didn't sell even paranoid me any gold.

Maluco 07-01-2017 08:22 PM

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 07-01-2017 10:14 PM

Thread Title Change to Getthe FuckOuttahere Wrestling seems appropriate.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2017 10:40 PM

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

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-02-2017 02:16 AM

What are they going to call the show now?
