joseph2112 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Judging from my TNA timeline (which is actually in the shape of a wheel), now it's time to bring in some measure of Hogan/Bischoff/Russo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just based on working for the WWE creative team for 2 1/2 hours Jimmy Jacobs could probably finagle his way to the head of Impact creative if he wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Honest question, but what's going to happen with their GFW streaming service? Is it a simple name change or are they going to keep it as an awkward of what once was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast calls for a 100 percent chance of mediocrity and fuck-uppery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I wonder if the Amped Anthologies are going to vanish. I mean, technically Global Wrestling Network doesn't HAVE to be connected to Global Force Wrestling, right? Back to IMPACT Total Access or whatever? So I guess the company is again just IMPACT. That's three rebrandings in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Man, I was watching this past week's show and it's such a mess: you've got GFW and Global Force being bandied all over the place, an authority figure (Cornette) who has already left the company and references to another authority figure (Double J) who is now gone from the company. I wonder how much money they save from taping 3 months TV at a time to make it actually worth it when their TV shows end up being way out of date before they even hit the air. That's two tapings in a row where the shows were built around major characters who had left (Cornette) or were in the process of leaving (Del Rio). Maybe they should just should air a quasi-live episode and then just tape, say, 2 weeks of TV then repeat, instead of this tape 3-4 months at a time deal. Wrestling is way too erratic to tape that far ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until Bob Carter has his moment of clarity and dumps piles of “please don’t make me hire my daughter” money at Anthem’s doorstep.

Marty Sugar Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hopefully Jarrett gets help for his gross drinking problems. He was apparently drop-down drunk in Alberta on Friday night (Calgary or Edmonton was Friday, the other was Saturday), and then got on a plane and skipped the Saturday show completely. What's crazy is that he was supposedly drunk at the shows he worked here in the Okanagan two years ago, but not so that he was noticeably stumbling around like he has been lately. Sad.

RIPPA Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 They are going to air the Eddie Edwards/Marufuji match from NOAH on this Thursday's episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Apparently Canadian Customs let Jarrett into the country for Friday night in Calgary, but he knew in advance he was going to have to be out of the country before the Saturday show in Edmonton. Seems he was lucky to get into Canada at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps make the show stand out as something different. I'm about a month into actually watching TNA GFW Impact and it's not too bad, actually. Not great, but not bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 So he booked a show he never had any intention of making? Put him on the banned list with Sexy Star and call it a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 So isn't a big part of the next few weeks of their TV centered around Lashley's cronies calling out Jarrett? I'll be curious to see if they still air it. Maybe taping 4 months worth of TV over 3 days isn't such a good idea after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 We should have gotten Jacobs writing the Ballad of Lana for Rusev during that horrible angle with Ziggler and Summer Rae. That would have made the angle worthwhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
