Brian Fowler Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The problem is, I don't trust Jeff Jarrett to book the promotion that way. When he was running TNA, it was much more "attitude era/Russo WCW taken to it's logical extreme." I was with you until you tried to shoehorn the word "logical" in the same sentence with "TNA" and "Russo". One of those things is not like the others. On one hand, "logical extreme" doesn't mean there is any actual logic to the booking. On the other... Touche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerjeRUN Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is Jeff using one of his kids as the graphic designer for his website? It's beyond awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 G-Force is secretly being funded by the Carters in an attempt to make Dixie look more competent by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was with you until you tried to shoehorn the word "logical" in the same sentence with "TNA" and "Russo". One of those things is not like the others. Instead of endless 90's rehashes (ECW, Attitude Era, WCW business plan), why does no one rip off the 80's? I could live with a 1986 Jim Crockett or 1982 Memphis tribute promotion. I would also live with a late 80's/Early 90's(Pre-New Generation Bridge) WWF-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I may never get used to the name. Every time, I hear the "Global Force Wrestling" (or worse, "G Force"), I picture these guys as the lead babyface stable: Then again, Dirk Daring and Ace Goodheart vs. Bad Influence on a PPV would probably = buys in my house.

LooseCannon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 They should probably not even bother with PPV and concentrate on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Either do iPPVs or make monthly big TV specials like WCW did with the Clash and TNA are doing currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 How the heck can any well backed start-up promotion have PPVs/iPPVs in their business plan now, post-WWEN? If they charge anything more than $10, wouldn't the general feeling be "well, I can get a big budget WWE PPV for $9.95 as well as a whole month of programming, vintage footage and features, for how is this worth it?"? Has WWE effectively killed off any small budget new promotions bigger than a local territory? intentional?, RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think with the Network WWE has shown that streaming is the future of the business. The Network is the first, but in a few years, maybe longer, we're going to be looking at other feds (or maybe even collections of feds) forming their own Networks because that's what the fans will want. It all comes down to price and availability of content, and the old methods of PPV and iPPV just can't stack up to what WWE is showing a streaming service can provide, and for much cheaper.

Hollywood Cibernetico Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think companies like GForce should try to work with Youtube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion to see what they can do about getting their monthly big event streamed live. Even if GForce cannot do live shows, it would probably be best for them to record a show and then upload it on a major video site hours later. This would get the most eyes on the product possible and doesn't kill the live gate as people will not stay home knowing they can just watch the live stream (the delay would essentially act the same as a blackout in MLB).

Like Double J or Toby Keith would be a good fit for the Logo network. Let's throw AJ Styles on there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 My guess is Davey Richards burns hin TNA bridge to go to G-Force-Dub, then burns that bridge after 3 months as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Condition to sell their library to Vince so he can put it on the network (or atleast the 2004-2007 stuff) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 So, would you predict that G-Force will cause ROH to go out of business before TNA does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think it is a 3 horse rae to go out of business first. TNA has an advantage because of the money, ROH has an advantage because they are cheap, G-Force has an advantage because the are technically not in business yet.

Sublime Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I don't know who will put who out of business first but I would be surprised if more than one of them survived to see the end of 2015 (and the survivor will probably be TNA just because losing money is what they do, they are the Mark Henry of being a shitty money losing wrestling promotion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think any ROH talent should see how the first ROH PPV does before jumping to some wacky start-up. Also with today's KENTA news I can't wait to see his face on the hood of the Global Force Nascar um car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
