Does GFW have a popcorn machine? Nah, they'd have already made a youtube video for it if they did.

Man there's a distinct lack of patience going on around here. 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. it took them almost a year and a half to announce the debut show of their promotion, so forgive people if their patience is a little thin after a year and a half of Jarrett's hype train and ridiculous press releases. yes they're going to announce the talent in "the coming weeks" but when the f*** are they going to get around to tell us what brand of microphones they're going to use?!

Does GFW have a popcorn machine? no, but a certain IWA: Mid-South pizza oven may be getting some work soon (but keep it on the down low, its supposed to be a surprise)

I lost track of them after their third or fourth closure. Yes they are still around. And putting on good shows. Kongo Kong is one of the best big men on the indy scene. And Jimmy Jacobs was having some great matches there.

The partnership with minor league baseball is something. It sounds like a similar partnership that TNA has had with with their BaseBrawl shows.

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. 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. You're making assumptions about the baseball players. You may be right, but until it happens you're just being negative for no reason. Flat out, the tour they just announced gives them the ability to be the #2 group in the country right from the start. That is if annoyingly cynical asses would back up and give them a chance without tearing into them on speculation. You guys are actively ignoring information presented to you then complaining that you haven't heard anything. You're complaining about a "glacial pace" when every step along the way has been pointed out to you leading to a huge stadium tour. People are just bitching to bitch at this point. Jarrett: I'm starting a new wrestling company, but going to take it slow and do it right. It won't be til well into next year before we really get underway.Cynical Fans: I bet it's going to be TNA 2.0 if it actually happens. GFW sucks. Jarrett: I'm scouting all of these indie groups for talent and am getting endorsements from big name stars in preparation for our launch next year.Cynical Fans: Where's the show? I bet this doesn't actually happen. GFW sucks. Jarrett: We're promoting NJPW's WrestleKingdom under the GFW Banner and getting JR to call it in English!Cynical Fans: So GFW's just putting their name on other shows rather than doing their own? I knew it would suck. Jarrett: We can confirm we're doing TV Tapings in Vegas around the middle of the year!Cynical Fans: Where's the show? I bet it's not going to happen. GFW sucks. Jarrett: We're going to be doing a cross country stadium tour! Over a dozen dates with TV Tapings! Here's all the places!Cynical Fans: Where's the show? I bet it's not going to happen. GFW sucks. Jarrett: We're going to be announcing the names appearing on the show over the next few weeks!Cynical Fans: Where's the show? I bet it's not going to happen. GFW sucks.

The guy said he was going to be taking his time, that it would be "next year" (he said this last year), and he's "showed his work" so to speak every step of the way. You can't fault him for your impatience. If anything at this point the only thing he's done wrong is underestimate the impatience of the average annoyingly cynical smark when he announced the promotion so far ahead of time. In his defense, he absolutely said he would be taking his time... it's just people can't seem to handle that. You are blatantly judging Jarrett for your faults. I just hope that doesn't bite him in the ass.

The tour they just announced with no names attached to them. The fact is, Jarrett set himself up for impatience. Pussyfooting around for the past year, with mostly silence aside from the NJPW thing, will lead to the natives getting restless. And then his first major announcement is....his lighting company. Not a major wrestler signing, but the guys that are gonna be screwing in the 40 watts. It doesn't engender confidence.

sorry, but YouTube videos saying "we've partnered with so-and-so on lighting" or "we're going to stamp our name all over someone else's product" or "we've issued a press release about a website covering our last press release" is not progress, its bullshit. they released multiple videos last year about their "talent search", yet not one talent has still been named.
and its been like this for a year and a half, that is way more than enough time for something to come of it (other than official Karen Jarrett 8x10's a cheap black t-shirts with a crappy logo printed on them)

That's on your end not theirs. I'm not sure how you call announcing a nationwide tour in baseball stadiums with tv tapings as "not something" though... EDIT: And it's been exactly one year, as he said it would be, not "a year and a half". Your impatience is clouding your perception of time man.

If the 7/11 show in Lake County (guess that's as specific as they'd like to be?), OH actually happens, I'm there.
Is it after the baseball game though? Do I have to buy a ticket to a single A minor league baseball game to watch the show?

I'm begging all of you annoying cynical fans to actually do some research before you say so much disparaging shit. The show's going to be at classic park... I posted the whole list of their shows less than an hour ago, as well as a video, and have been explaining that they're doing stadium shows. --- Man, I need to stay the hell out of this thread before I end up going off on someone. The cynicism and sheer ignorance being shown here is overbearing. I just really hope GFW actually gets a fair chance. The business needs it, even though it's most diehard fans are oftentimes super-cynical asshats.

Jarrett doesn't get a pass here. If GFW wasn't attached to him and did all of this ridiculously long and overdrawn hype they would be dead in the ground. He should have had a roster announcement ready to go before any shows. How the hell are we supposed to get excited over Jarrett Promotion #2 when all we know is that it has him, Scott D'Amore and Karen Jarrett as the only featured names?

Calm the f*** down. I even said I was going to buy a ticket. Hell, I wasn't even being disparaging, I LIKE cheap stuff. Sorry I didn't read all your backlog GFW posts.

If you think they're filling a fifth of it with Jeff Jarrett and the Bandit Lites company, you're nuts.

Your "probably going to be at a fairgrounds" comment after all I've been saying for the past hour justified some annoyance on my part, especially when my whole point's been that people are saying nothing's happening and they're being strung along when it's mostly a matter of them being impatient and not paying attention. I have nothing against you personally of course, I'm just trying my damnedest to curb ignorance, impatience and unwarranted cynicism here. There's heaps of it.

Yeah, but here's the thing, nothing I said was impatient, or cynical. Quit projecting that on me. Yes, I was a ignorant that they're actually at a baseball park because I hurriedly looked at the list of dates, so I assumed fairgrounds, because I live in Ohio, and I know what Lake County is like. That was your defensive "quit bashing!" thing kicking in, I didn't say anything bad about GFW, nor have I ever. But if I did, so what? This isn't even your fight. Even if I did say some stupid shit, there's really no need to go into attack mode about it. Raging out and being a dick over it isn't going to teach anyone anything.
