The thing that's bothering me about GFW is that they don't really seem to be doing anything to market themselves in an innovative manner. It's just twitter. No podcasts, no AMA's, nothing out of the blue. It feels a bit hokey and fly by night right now. I get that you'll have some eyes on it by bringing in Big Poppa Gawd and all them, but the baseball ground setting just made it all feel a bit amatuer.

Who knows, maybe Jeff pulls it off, but right now I'm super :patrice:about it. And I say that as someone who enjoys products outside the 'E.

2 cents given.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting Global Force Wrestling’s live event ‘debut’ in Jackson, Tennessee drew 375 fans, and the second show in Knoxville, Tennessee drew 500 fans.

The second show did well in merchandise sales but is slightly disappointing considering the local publicity, headed by former University of Tennessee basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, who acted as a heel manager for the night. Another somewhat minor reason being offered is that former manager and promoter Bert Prentice had run a “Jerry Lawler 40th Anniversary” show in Jackson, and that may have taken some fans away from GFW. The Lawler show drew 1,100 fans the previous weekend, and had bigger names on their card like Lawler, The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express, Bill Dundee, Tommy Dreamer, TNA star James Storm and Sabu.

It’s being said that although Jarrett was successful in setting the tour, it doesn’t look good for the future. The combination of the shows not drawing well, talent coming in to work for lower money and general unhappiness were some of the reasons cited. The report stated talent were disappointed in paying for their travel costs, and then had to fill out W-9 forms to receive checks at a later date. Talents were told they would get paid for wrestling and could keep their merch sales money.

Double J not getting off to a good start

I never understood the idea behind that.
Rent out a few bingo halls so that when 300-500 people show up it looks like a full house.
this them running shows in baseball stadium never made any sense it makes there show look so :scust:isn't the old asylum they used to do shows out of in tenn he couldn't rent that. there has to be some small bingo hall he could of rented. They got a space in vegas rented to do typing
