Cassidy Riley's still going? Huh, how about that... Chase Stevens too... I've never been much interested in him as a singles competitor but if they bring in Andy Douglas to reform the naturals, then we're talking |

New Heavenly Bodies. From PWS. They're actually decent and live up to the gimmick. |

Chuck Taylor was also revealed to be a part of the GFW roster. I read it on Cagedseats, I even think there's a video on the roster reveal, revealing everyone.

I was just thinking about how I hope they get Taylor as I was scrolling through comments. They also need Gargano. I'm still debating making the 3 hour drive to the Richmond show. But if i can see Anderson and Gallows, as well as Chuck Taylor, I'm in.  Shelton is a nice addition as well. |

GFW deal are handshake agreements and the wrestlers havn't signed a contract. Nick Jackson confermed this on Twitter.

I love the fact that Jarrett has reached out to TNA alumni such as Stevens and Riley, because TNA in 2004-05 was jammed to the rafters with amazing talent in the mid-card. I'd love to see them get some people like Matt Bentley, Sonjay Dutt, Andy Douglas, Kid Kash, etc. I'd also like to see Sonny Siaki in GFW, but I believe he retired a few years back.

Dutt is on the roster, jimmy rave is too |

Man they released the first line up of shows cards and there down right horrible,the very first show ever in GFW history is more then likely going to be main evented by Moose .Vs Brodus Clay or The Bullet Club .Vs The New Heavily Bodies.Not good I would assume that Double J views these shows as a warm up and more so a pre season while the TV tapings are more the offical start of the company but he needs to get serious main event level star power if he wants to have them carried on TV and also a touring company.I am sorry and I really like these guys but The Young Bucks,Gallows,Anderson,Benjamin,Masters,Clay,Moose...ect aren't going to draw in the fans or have the power to pull in a TV deal.
GFW needs big names like Goldberg,Styles,ADR,Mysterio,RVD,Bubba Ray,D'Von...ect and someone like Jim Ross to call the matches and give the company instant credibility.Also should sign great indy talent that are currently not under contract like Roderick Strong,ACH,Colt Cabana and even the terribly out of shape Chris Hero.

You can basically throw any hope of Goldberg joining out of the window, Styles and Patron are possible, but I don't know about Rey and the Dudleys. Pretty sure they signed a deal with WWE after his RR appearance. |

They really do need bigger name talent though... |

What's the best way for them to retain fans viewers? I'm having a hard time imagining a place for GFW in the wrestling world.

I agree that these lineups are not that impressive. All these events have at least one match I'd be interested in seeing. These shows would be good for one thousand seat arenas at best, and it wouldn't really sell out IMO, but I seriously doubt they'll even get half the ballparks they booked filled. Plus, there isn't any other women GFW could have gotten to wrestle other than Lei'D Tapa and Thea Trinidad that they face each other on all four events. Plus almost every match is booked twice on one weekend. We'll wait and see if they sell out but I wouldn't be shocked if they get TNA numbers in attendance (house show numbers) with these lineups.

It doesn't matter how weak the line up is they'll put draw TNA due to one key factor, Advertising.
