The logo is cheesy, the website is cheesy & very "Jeff & Karen" oriented, the mission statement sounds a lot like the Impact 365 initiative, and we don't know anything more about this company, except the hot air Jeff has been blowing for weeks with his teases. I'm all for a new company, but so far, I haven't seen a thing that made me think "it's a viable project & the next revolution in pro wrestling". Well considering the Impact 365 stuff was Jarrett's baby that isn't shocking.

Yeah, that logo is pretty bad. Like others have said, it looks like something from the early nineties.
I just hope the wrestling looks like the eighties. If that happens, I'm all in.

Let's say that the CMT aspect is out of the picture, what channel would pick this up?

I hope it succeeds, but this "launch" is ridiculous and really premature. Website is wholly unprofessional, but hey Karen and Jeff Jarrett 8X10s are available lol.

Sounds good. The company doesn't have a joke of a name that makes teenagers snicker... that's a plus.

Let's say that the CMT aspect is out of the picture, what channel would pick this up? It's tough to say. CMT is a network I can really see benefitting from this, as it seems to be in a lot of cable packages, but it for so long was like the MTV for country music. I remember my mom had it on all day when I was younger. It's a situation where a network needs strong programming, and pro wrestling on national tv always seems to bring in at least a million people as a baseline. I remember TNA was doing .6 and .7 ratings late Saturday night, and grew from there. So one could predict that be GFW's start and future. I like the idea floating around of a reality show starting off the promotion, because it really introduces all the new people (and some old faces) to the world. One thing I like about TNA and liked back when Jarrett was still doing stuff was the Rough Cuts segments, where they did interviews about the personal lives and feelings of the wrestlers and built upon their characters. They did some with Beer Money, Roxxi, Taylor Wilde and others (I remember the Sojourner Bolt one being really bad). Plus, it can give people a glimpse into the world of indy wrestling. If they also establish these indies on the TV show, when they bring in new guys, they could name off their accolades. Let's say they go to Dragon Gate USA to scout talent, and eventually, Johnny Gargano debuts with them. Well, the commentators and everyone could say, this guy was the Champion for 2 years in this promotion, and build him up as a big deal.

I was really optimistic about Jarrett's promotion but this launch is a f***ing joke. You only get one chance to make a good first impression and Jarrett blew it. He's been working on this new business venture for HOW long? And THAT'S the launch? Holy shit. Yep, no wonder Jarrett's wrestling promotions fail and no wonder the McMahon family is the best family of promoters. Good GOD, son.

Well to be fair, I think it's still just a work in progress at the moment. It's probably just something to get people talking about due to it being the day after WrestleMania. I'm sure over the months things will start looking better since the launch for the promotion isn't until January supposedly.

It's a business, not an art project.
