So who is there best draw? Solid roster, but not exactly going to fill out an arena.

Not sure how big the Orleans Arena is, but I agree with your statement.I think with their roster, they can sell out at least a 1,000 seat arena, and I'm loving their roster so far, so I'm not knocking them. There's no draw that will bring in the casual wrestling fan. At best., Global Force Wrestling is gonna be just another indy promotion, cause they don't even have a TV deal yet, so their "TV tapings" that will take place in June/July is basically what XWF did in 2001 when they taped a bunch of shows in Universal Studios where TNA first started with Impact, then because a lot of their top guys signed with WWE, they couldn't get a TV deal. Sure they have former WWE guys like Chris Masters and Justin Gabriel, but they weren't really draws in the WWE. Basically their top draw right now is Jeff Jarrett, so unless he's gonna be wrestling in these TV tapings as well, I don't see the Orleans Arena selling out. However, I don't think they're done yet revealing guys, so we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully they get AJ Styles and Alberto el Patron there. I feel out of anyone in the indies right now, those two could be big draws for GFW.

That seems ambitious for any indy promotion The Orleans Arena is in Las Vegas right? Yeah about 10K, but they could decrease it to like 5K for their arena set up. Again, their roster so far I don't think could sell even 1K IMO. Again, not knocking the wrestlers cause I like most of them.

Is GFW working with AAA on the Lucha Libre World Cup iPPV? Or is there still talk of this year's TripleMania airing on PPV in English this year?

Double J is building a solid roster but he still has the huge issue of no legit main event talent that can draw people in even the die hard fans.I don't know if its even possible to sign guys like AJ Styles(I just have to assume he's on board with him sense they go way back and GFW has half of the Bullet Club on the roster)Del Rio,Rey Mysterio..ect whom might be under contract but theirs nothing holding him back from signing guys like The Dudley Boyz,RVD and yes I am going their Goldberg and EDGE.I know he's probably got a very small budget but singing a guy like Bubba Ray,RVD,Goldberg or even a guy that can't wrestle anymore in EDGE would be huge and a true main event level guy with name power that can help go around and promote and sell the produce while also bring in the fans.

Edge would be a useless signing, as he's a WWE made name and still on good terms with the company.
Jarrett is definitely going the route of well name independent talent, as well as guys that have been on the scene for a long time and had a moment in the sun years ago. Add that to signing a few friends of his, who can actually work. I'm pretty pumped.
I do agree with main event talent being needed, but look at ECW and ROH. They made their main event names. It's the correct way to build characters and garner interest into the product.

Now THAT is more like it. The Bucks will reign supreme in GFW. At this rate is only a matter of time before AJ is announced and we have The Bullet Club...well the only members that matter except Omega. But wait what the absolute hell are The Heavenly Bodies doing here.....

The next names announced, half of them I like, especially the Young Bucks and Cliff Compton. The other half I really have no interest in. BTW, who the hell are the Heavenly Bodies mentioned? I know it's not the originals. Again, the roster pretty much caters to the indy fans (and I guess the old TNA fans who don't watch TNA anymore). The roster is perfect for an indy company if Jarrett wants this promotion to be an indy company. I can kind of understand why networks aren't biting to grab GFW on TV. They need a few names that caters to the casual wrestling fan cause TV networks want to see a few names that they recognize even if they haven't seen them in years. Grab Matt Hardy, grab AJ Styles, grab Alberto el Patron. At least those are a few names that could be recognized to the casual fan. I hope at least AJ and Alberto is announced for this. I just used Matt Hardy as an example.
