No idea about the breakdown. But right at 2 years ago he said the backers from the kickstarter would be getting their perks. And since then nothing has happened. Didn't he release some of the footage recently? I remember video of a battle royale...? Yeah seems that was released. But that is all.

There's a youtube user by the name of FancamGuy who has a handful of videos from the June 13/14 shows. That name "Heavenly Bodies" was supposed to be ironic, right? Maybe Heavenly Bodies is supposed to infer that they look like corpses. Word is making the rounds that the KOTM match is going to be for a KOTM title...which Jarrett will win and then that's GWF's championship. Just...there are no words to how stupidly beautiful this week has been. A better way to crown the first Global Force Wrestling Champion would be to have a tournament consisting of all of the surviving (and maybe even some of the deceased) ex- Global Wrestling Federation North American Heavyweight Champions. Also find it weird that they renamed it to the King of The Mountain title (despite it being decided in a King of The Mountain match) when you consider one of the previous incarnation of this all purpose title belt was the TNA Global Championship.

GFW signed Nick Aldis, the former Magnus in TNA, and he starts immediately and will headline the first TV tapings.

This is probably old news, but I just checked out the GFW roster pages and holy crap are they unprofessional. The bios are written like shit and have quite a few punctuation mistakes. Dios mio.
EDIT: I also just learned they have Jim Duggan on their roster. Wow. That's cool... I guess..

Before this suppose TNA invasion happens, GFW needs to have a core roster.

Before this suppose TNA invasion happens, GFW needs to have a core roster. My impression was that GFW was going to have a small core roster and fill as needed from indie talents, national talents on the market, and international talents looking to get a more global following. That way they can control their overhead expenses.

That way they can control their overhead expenses. My problem with that is the same beef I have with the current NWA. How can you get behind the product if you don't know who are the actual stars on the roster? Look at ROH. They have a core roster even though a vast majority of folks freelance on the side. Counter that with GFW who have a touring roster and haven't announced the tv roster yet. And they wonder why ticket sells are slow for the Vegas tv tapings. Few want to spend money on a blind card with no talent lineup. Even if it is just 6 names besides Double J and Karen, something is better than nothing. And using the Love Canal tainted TNA brand to boost sells is going to fail.

Tommaso Ciampa is signed for the Appleton, WI show on 7/9.
So that's pretty cool.

Annnnd they've signed BOBBY ROODE. For the Vegas TV taping, using his TNA owned nickname and in the GFW Title Tournament. So major involvement between the two is confirmed.

I checked GFW's site and didn't see them call him anything besides Bobby Roode, and that's his real name... Edit: Nevermind, seeing "It Factor" now. Not sure about the phrase's legality though.

Calls himself the "It Factor of Professional Wrestling" and I think even busted out the selfish generation (kinda out of it at that point) stuff. Bobby RRROOOOOOO has #joinedtheforce.

Bobby Roode would be a superstar if he brought back the frizzbomb hairstyle. It's been a few years now and I still think he looks so bland and generic with short hair.

Sounds like he's wrestling for both to me. Roode is certainly the kind of guy they need, and if things head south for TNA I'm sure try to get him full-time, but I agree with earlier sentiment that GFW needs to work on a more solid core of guys that will be there every week.

Well today the Jarretts announced that the name of their "TV" show will be......AMPED!
I have a feeling that they will be getting a letter from PepsiCo in the coming weeks as well.

there's a video:
oh Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. why do you do this to yourself? i understand its important to show actual GFW wrestling footage. i mean you waited well over a year after announcing the promotion before holding you first show, which got fans out there making jokes about the company. i myself may have a made a snide comment or two. but if your going to show footage of the wrestling, why the f*** are you going to point the camera at the mostly empty stands?! why not shoot some low-angle stuff so you can skip the crowd? your trying to get fans amped up about AMPED and you're showing them footage where the are more people in the ring than in the audience
