The sad thing is that in any other promotion this would be a massive f*** up but since TNA has f***ed up so many times this is just another day at the office.

Wait a minute wait a minute, so Jarrett always owned the gfw brand, does this means that Anthem just gave them free publicity over months of television? That means Jarrett just got free belts also?

That means Jarrett just got free belts also? ....Ed Nordholm is a f***ing idiot. If I'm the owner of Anthem I would've fired him yesterday. Ed spend countless hours of money and resources into establishing a company that Anthem doesn't even own. That if Jarrett wants to run shows Anthem can't get a penny from!! I wish, I wish that Pop signed a contract with GFW saying that they'll broadcast their shows, leaving Anthem to get f***ed. A beer drinkin, guitar smashin, not a single dime drawin, egomaniac conned a media conglomerate.

I think GFW caught the bigger L here. Now it's back to slapping their name on random regional indies.

Not just that; all of the Jeff flunkies he got TNA jobs for are now in TNA and it's almost a guarantee if he tries to start up a GFW show that TNA will step in and shit all over any attempt for him to pull his favorites in and use them on the card. He hasn't come away from this very well off either, but on the other hand GFW is just back to where it was before, whereas TNA has come off much worse from this arrangement and looks like it's run by idiots (it is) so they still get the bigger L.

Even if Anthem wasted money on new belts, I think the belts are their property and they can make back some of that loss by selling the belts off to some eccentric wrestling collector and leave Jarrett to go back to using the shitty neon green ones.

It probably depends on the terms of the agreement because only the X Division title is new - the others are the existing GFW titles repainted. Anthem probably owns the new paint jobs but might not own the physical objects.

That means Jarrett just got free belts also? hold that strut right there, Jeff. true, GFW got free publicity and super awesome and totally not stupid looking belts, but they lost their biggest ace in the hole: Amped. what tv network is going to buy their show now thats its been seen by dozens of fans on pay-per-view? now they have to tape more shows, which means they have to first get a new roster since that dastardly McMahon raided their top talent and gave them paying jobs. plus TNA now has all of GFW's hot up-and-coming rookies like Reno Scum, Kongo Kong, and Sonjay Dutt i think if GFW is going to really come out ahead in this debacle, Jeff only has one move left: give away free Karen Jarrett 8x10 with every purchase of Karetbars

I keep reading/hearing that Ed Nordholm didn't know what he was getting himself in to and doesn't understand the wrestling business.
Ed Nordholm doesn't seem to understand business. Period.

Nordholm: You're a big wrestling fan, how about I cut you a deal on these brand new belts? Todd: Go f*** yourself! I have dignity.

Over/under that American Top Team shows up at the next tapings with all the GFW belts, along with the AWA belts Dan has?

Is anybody really surprised? This is the same company that tried to register the trademarks of their most over performer and his family months after they left the company.

Another thing to consider is that Jarrett's boys are likely to be phased out just like Jarrett phased out Corgan's talent.
Which means no more Kongo Kong, Fallahlalala-Lalala Bah, Mario What's his name, Reno Scum, and (hopefully) Ohio Is 4 Dorks.
Sonjay Dutt might survive on a technicality for now.

Hire Ed Leslie as the new commissioner and call it The Company With No Name.

Whenever someone takes over, they bring in or build up their ideal talent & get rid of the guys they don't like. I'm guessing since they were GFW guys, Nordholm's not wanting them anymore.
