April 9, 201411 yr comment_5598396 Russo is not going to be involved in this. Russo pretty much helped put Jeff out of power in TNA, and from some of the things Jim Cornette said about his time there, it seemed like Jeff knew Russo was a mistake but it was too late by that point because Russo was already in with Dixie. As far as the new promotion goes, I hope it succeeds. I think there is enough talent on the indies to make it work, especially since it seems like most of the TNA guys would want to jump if there was anything to jump to. Think about it for a little bit. There's a lot out there: Chris Masters, AJ Styles, Chris Hero, The Briscoes, Luke Gallows (just re-do the Isiah Cash bit), Trevor Murdoch, Colt Cabana, The Young Bucks, Mike Bennett, Cliff Compton, Adam Cole, Greg Marasciulo, etc. Probably a bunch of other guys that I'm just blanking on. Personally I'd look at Ezekiel Jackson if he was healthy. There's no other vague mysterious "coming soon" promotions to get interested in except for this one. However, if this becomes a thing and they DON'T give my man Chris Masters regular employment they'll be dead to me. I also offer up my services as a booker seeing as all the guys I listed are guys I use in my TEW game, so obviously I know how to use them and I'll just say I *AM* booking the #1 promotion in the world. Great Post. However alot of the talents you mentioned are not available. AJ Styles , Young Bucks , Mike Benett, Adam Cole , Briscoes and Luke Gallows are all under with ROH or NJPW . I can't see anyone leaving NJPW/ROH to join the startup Global Force.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_5598405 Yeah Gallows and Styles have NJPW contracts. Young Bucks and Hero have a current working relationship as well. Colt Cabana will most likely not join because he wants his freedom that I am sure JJ will not be able to provide. I feel guys like Carlito and Masters are shoe-ins. Hopefull the same can be said for John Morrison. The remaining roster should contain guys like Brian Cage, Trent?, and other indy guys who are not overly exposed at this point.
April 9, 201411 yr comment_5598417 Had no idea that Gallows and Styles were working for NJPW. Still don't know why Masters never works Japan unless he just doesn't like it.

Hopefull the same can be said for John Morrison. The remaining roster should contain guys like Brian Cage, Trent?, and other indy guys who are not overly exposed at this point. Brian Cage , Willie Mack , Chris Masters, John Morrison , Joey Ryan , Scorpio Sky ,Adam Pearce and Colt Cabana are names that stick out to me. That would be a nice core roster for a startup . I don't think any of these guys are under contract . The ROH talents are getting around 40 dates year with their home promotion . Now it looks like the top ROH talents are now going to get NJPW tours. Then they fill in their schedule with indy dates and overseas tours . The top ROH guys always seem to have plenty of work. If I 'm in ROH I would only leave for the WWE , not Global Force or even TNA.
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598505 I would feel shitty complaining if we got a babyface Masters vs. heel Jarrett match out of this, no matter how bad it more than likely turns out. I'm usually not this cynical, but I see the roster basically a being a combination of guys with terrible tattoos and ex WWE guys with way too much baggage (Carlito, Zeke Jackson, etc.)
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598518 I would agree about Carlito but I don't think Zeke really has that much baggage. He never had a run long enough for him to feel like a guy who just couldn't make it in WWE.
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598520 I would agree about Carlito but I don't think Zeke really has that much baggage. He never had a run long enough for him to feel like a guy who just couldn't make it in WWE. His baggage is endless muscle tears and hernias.
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598535 This name makes me think of nothing but those crap Air Force commercials "A Global Force - For Good"
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598540 Wrong climate to be starting a wrestling promotion full stop if you ask me, never mind one with an early 90's logo.
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598544 Come on people. Have a little faith. Jeff Jarrett is the genius behind the masterpiece that was TNA, a promotion which outlasted both ECW and WCW ad which is stil going strong today. Well, never mind.
April 10, 201411 yr comment_5598578 A lot of the "names" that have been mentioned (like AJ Styles) would automatically make me write-off a promotion. There are some guys out there that I like, such as Masters & Carlito (when he's motivate) but for the most part, I'll take the folks in NXT over those on the U.S. Indies.
April 11, 201411 yr comment_5598630 Canada has a lot of talent, especially Josh Alexander who could walk on to WWE today if they wanted.
April 11, 201411 yr comment_5598634 Is Alexander still hurt? He's booked for a show in Toronto in May, so not sure.
May 15, 201411 yr Author comment_5603351 http://globalforcewrestling.com/seminar/ Jarrett and D'Amore running their first con already!
May 15, 201411 yr comment_5603355 Gotta love the fact that they announced a new promotion without having any talent basically. And now this. This is glorious already.
May 16, 201411 yr comment_5603404 I see they have Mick Foley latched into this also http://t.co/B2xW4XNiia
May 16, 201411 yr comment_5603426 I want to get behind this project, but Jarrett isn't making it easy. He claims to have a database of 500 wrestlers who could potentially be used yet he's charging people for tryouts already. Any word on when the next announcement announcing an announcement will be?
May 16, 201411 yr comment_5603501 I have a database of 500 wrestlers as well. It's called TEW, a booking sim.
May 17, 201411 yr Author comment_5603527 I have a database of 500 wrestlers as well. It's called TEW, a booking sim. All Jeff has to do is hire a bunch of guys with a bunch of stats over B+ and we've got ourselves a fine promotion.
May 17, 201411 yr comment_5603536 Well, until comes time to have to put them under written deals so that big WWE can't snipe em. Then yer screwed.

He bought the "PWI 500" issue?
May 19, 201411 yr comment_5603910 Mick Foley is teasing an announcement about his professional future. I'm guessing he's going to end up in GFW in some capacity, which is fine as long as no one tries to talk him into working a match.
