I wonder how much of the Orleans arena in Las Vegas they will be able to fill for the TV tapings? It's a pretty decent sized building Could do like ROH and run a ball/conference room. They made that look pretty good on PPV. Though Jeff might see that as a little small for all he he talked.

I was really excited for this when it was announced but it's been 2 years hasn't it? I doubt it's ever happening.

Oh yeah, those circumstances will definitely make it seem WAY longer. But even so, in a year, we've had the announcement of its existence, and damn near nothing else. It might as well not exist.

At this point, I'm convinced that GFW is going to be Scott D'Amore dancing like Michigan J. Frog in an empty, albeit supremely well lit, room.

I guess my question is, why does Jarrett so badly want to start a new company? Is it the tax write off? Is there a better way he can spend his time? ROH and New Japan seem to have a working relationship, why not go back and forth, get paid and enjoy the rest of his life? It seems like there's an awful lot of work for something that may not even get on TV.

Sure, I get that, but the wrestling landscape is so different now than it was 10 years ago. ROH actually has guys under contracts as opposed to being able to wrestle for 4 or 5 different Indy groups. My assumption is, he just can't pluck AJ Styles and the Bullet Club, correct me if I'm wrong though. If he has the financial backing and TV more power to him I guess.

Holy shit is this ever gonna be a thing? If you guys would calm down and actually look into it you'd see that it is... Man there's a distinct lack of patience going on around here. I'd rather Jarrett take his time personally. Either way, they're announcing the roster over the next few weeks and have already announced these dates/venues: -Friday 6/12 in Jackson, TN at The Ballpark at Jackson. -Saturday 6/13 in Knoxville, TN at Smokies Park. -Friday 6/20 in Jackson, MS at Trustmark Park. -Saturday 6/21 in Bowling Green, KY at Bowling Green Ballpark. -Friday 7/11 in Lake County, OH at Classic Park. -Friday 7/24 TV Taping in Las Vegas at The Orleans. -Friday 8/21 TV Taping in Las Vegas at the Orleans. -Saturday 8/29 in Richmond, VA at The Diamond Ballpark. -Thursday 9/3 in Waterloo, Iowa at Riverfront Stadium. -Friday 9/4 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium. -Saturday 9/5 in Clinton, IA at Ashford University Field. -Friday 10/23 in Las Vegas at The Orleans. Will that hold you impatient bastards the f*** over for a while? I usually understand cynicism, at least on some level, but there's no reason for it at all here. The guy warned you and said he was taking it slowly from the start, and he's doing so.

There's "taking it slowly" and then there's "glacial pace", and that's what GFW is right now. The second they announce a roster member bigger than their lighting rig guy, I'll buy that this is a real thing. Until then, it's talk.

The second they announce a roster member bigger than their lighting rig guy, I'll buy that this is a real thing. Until then, it's talk. So announcing partnerships and a cross country tour with a dozen stadium shows + tv tapings isn't enough for you? If you guys are waiting to hear the opening bell of the first match before you believe this will happen, fair enough, that's your prerogative, but complaining the whole time until it happens when there actually is movement going on is annoying to all of us that actually pay attention rather than just saying "ooh they havent had a show. haha fail. theyre going to suck". I mean, they might very well suck, but damn you guys are cynical. EDIT: Sorry if I'm coming off as callous, but I get the distinct impression that people are complaining about nothing happening while actively ignoring what's actually happening. Mainly because if they were paying attention they wouldn't be able to say it.

Okay, so now, unlike the early days of TNA where it was NASCAR drivers no one had ever heard of, it's gonna be minor league baseball players no one has ever heard of making cameos. Still waiting for actual names to get attached to this thing. The fact is, it's taken us over a year from the first mention of the promotion to the announcement of the first run of shows. That's worthy of a critical eye, especially as they still haven't named any talent besides Jarrett.
