The roster looks good. Mostly guys that are somewhat known whether they be fledgling indy talents or WWE alumni. But they lack a "star". They don't have anyone who I could see as their ace, who could be their "World Heavyweight Champion". The highest profile guys they have are the Young Bucks. I hope the ace and the face of the company isn't Jeff Jarrett.

So, the biggest star on the roster is Chael Sonnen? And he isn't even a wrestler. We all know what the reaction would be if they announced RVD or Goldberg or something. "Has-beens!" "TNA 2.0!" etc.

Dude phoned it in big time in TNA and I don't see any reason why GFW would be any different.

MOOSE is my main reason to be into this. That's my dog.
And I honestly would love to see Goldberg in GFW. I really like the dude despite what people say about him.

So a World, Flippy, Tag and Womens. Not bad. Still wondering how taking ROH contracted talent and TNA contracted talent is going to work for them. both PWInsider and the Wrestling Observer have said a number of wrestlers are booked to only work the live shows, not the tv taping and its a World title, Women's title, Tag title, and a "Jeff Jarrett Is The Greatest Wrestler Of All Time" title, which is the supreme title of the promotion and can only be held by individuals who spell their name J E Double F J A Double R E Double T Hahaha

"TNA 2.0!" etc. I wouldn't say in its own right - the reason TNA got the reputation it did is because they had a constant stream of bringing in WWE guys and immediately prioritizing them over the people who had been there longterm. I kind of hope, with both Hall and Jarrett involved, this ends up being a shot-for-shot remake of TNA's first show.

Shelton Benjamin confirmed Does it make me any better than Vince that, due to scrolling past it quickly, not really paying any attention, and the shadows over his face (and the T-shirt), I at first glance thought that was Devon?

Even with the apparent and utter randomness of order on the roster page, the Bucks and Cornette: right next to each other!
Are the New Heavenly Bodies (endorsed by Dr. Tom, by the way) related to Steve Corino?
I'd love to see Jarrett pull out all the stops and bring in Monty Brown and/or Shark Boy for a one-off!
And If I recall correctly, Ken Shamrock and the Wall were the first TNA champs, so having Masters and Shelton go over initially wouldn't be that far-fetched with the is a lack of main event players.

Those shows look pretty good, in my opinion. I'd go if they were local to me.
