Global Force Wrestling... come on surely Jarrett could of spent more than 3 seconds when coming up with a painfully generic and shitty wrestling company name. Global Force sounds like a 1980's movie where Chuck Norris has to fly in and save some Burmese hostages as a last resort. Checked out the site too and, umm, ya. Was nice to see Jarrett using cheesecake vids of his wife's big fake titties though for page views.

The name sounds like a carpet cleaner.
The logo looks like something from one of those shitty African religious channels on Sky. Those ones that are always slightly out of focus, with test card colours running along the top of the screen, and guy sitting in front of a wooden panel wall with a randomly inserted potted plant shoved into the camera shot.
But otherwise, I wish them well.

I like the logo. It looks like something out of 1990s Global or 1980s NWA or WCCW but to a larger audience it may scream "behind the times." It does look behind the times ... because it is... like you said it reminds you of something from 20 to 30 years ago. I agree it looks like the old NWA world championship wrestling logo from the mid 80's and i like it.

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. I am with ya, i hope there will be managers.

I'll be excited to see what comes of this. More promotions trying to be a big deal is always fun.
On a more selfish note, I'll take anything that gets Karen back on my TV.

Global Force Wrestling sounds like a wrestling promotion from a 90s sitcom. Still better than TNA.
If the name, logo and web site are anything to go by this promotion will be a mix of good/bad/cheesy for the first couple of years at the very least, which is what I expected.

I honestly hope though that they change the logo, the name itself is pretty solid, I mean if it takes off I'll just call it GFW anyhow

Considering it looks like a 90's fed...Jeff Jarrett should start off the first episode coming out of his time machine in full Double J gear saying he's come to the future to scout our wrestling talent. Then he is sad the rest if the show because WCW us dead and the E got the F out.

i like how the logo for the promotion uses a CGI globe, and the logo for the merch uses an actual picture of the earth way to go on keeping it consistent I like both logos, but not sure which one would look better engraved on their championship belt(s).

I would have called it something like the "International Wrestling Federation" and modeled it on the various boxing organisations that operate.
Very much on a "sports" image, which would appear on the surface at least to be an alternative to the "entertainment" image of WWE
All the titles would reflect this. They could have the following...
- IWF Heavyweight (main eventers) - IWF Welterweight (mid-carders) - IWF Flyweight (women)
Along with a IWF Tag Team title, that would be enough.
If they avoided the comedy skits, overly produced segments, corporate buzzwords and evil authority figures of WWE, that alone would mark them out as distinct to a certain degree.

I'm not gonna call it anything, because I think I'm gonna forget this exists.

Every time someone mentions this promotion I'm going to remember "Games for windows live" and thus associate it with irrational, blazing hatred as I tried to play Dark Souls.
