Wow! So... it finally happened. Technically, people can finally say that TNA is out of business. Dixie ran it into under the ground and into the grave. Anthem brings Jeff Jarrett to run it and they buy GFW from him to take it's place. This is all an insane turn of events. I mean, Jeff Jarrett must be some kind of genius or something. He got screwed by the company his daddy started for him and he comes back stronger then ever. Fucking amazing!
Phasing out the TNA name makes sense -- it was a leftover from the attitude era, intended for a promotion with strippers in cages at ringside that only aired on PPV.
Using the GFW name as a replacement is highly surprising though. Why use it rather than Anthem/Owlsports/Impact? God bless Jeff's carny magic.
It is sad that TNA had to go away since WWE took their stars and now are the most interesting stars on their rosters. I don't expect muchfe from the owners to do much with this. GWF is such a shit name for a company. If they somehow get ROH and New Japan to ban with them, WWE fans will still ignore them til they go to WWE where they always knew who they were and how awesome they were.
My feelings... Jake didn't get the TE duke because the trainers thought he'd be good enough to make it into the WWF on his own without the TE rub. And if that's the case, then they're right.
