They should be in high school gyms, not empty stadiums. You have to pay to rent out a high school gym. They've cut deals with these venues to where they pay no fees.

So just got back from the Appleton show. It was my first live wrestling event so bear with me lol. This show- Could there be any more of a smarky crowd? My god. There were horrendous CM Punk, Mickie James, Bullet Club and various other chants all ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing show. And here I was thinking I was an idiot wrestling fan. No, there are actually wrestling fans who live up to the smark stereotype. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's back up. So you know those reports of the small crowds at the two previous shows? Yeah not in Appleton. At least 300-400 people. Very impressive I thought. Sorry for no pic of it but very large crowd. Wisconsin is highly underrated for wrestling fans. Before the show I met quite a few wrestlers including- HORNSWOGGLE. Yes, currently under contract with WWE Hornswoggle. And he was not happy with taking pics with the fans. Proof? Here's my pic. ![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11738002_10206118028006949_4181000668705575033_n.jpg?oh=47a03789eb6e1b609bd3d605b277a574&oe=56186234) We had seats as close as you could get and he was literally just standing there. I was going to take a pic from far away but he said "Why don't ya just ask for a pic, bud?" and offered. So I don't know why he was making the face he did. Probably because a line of people started to form but still. Not really complaining because I actually love Hornswoggle but kind of disappointing. The ring-The ring sucked. It was well maintained, but too small. Was Wisconsin Professional Wrestling's ring. Had more of a trampoline feel than an actual ring but whatever. It worked. Match 1- Colt Cabana vs Daivari![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11707739_10206118042167303_4282903753835811795_n.jpg?oh=696430904cf0cba6880e8a2bf11106c5&oe=5655300A) Was an OK match, pretty much a squash for Cabana. Match 2- Jay Bradley v Matt Cage v Nick Collucci v Joey Avalon![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/11403318_10206118045647390_4136809026415493524_n.jpg?oh=c818e323cb32b59b0517febb605cb607&oe=5628B17B) Jay Bradley was not in this match. Ended with Eric Young confronting Jeff Jarrett and stealing his belt. Match 3- Santana Garrett vs Melanie Cruise![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/11223503_10206118051887546_6508264881956444657_n.jpg?oh=7f3d5e5287ad87e17bef2975d686bb5d&oe=56267A1C) Santana looked good, squash match for her. Match 4- PJ Black vs Sonjay Dutt![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11700967_10206118063327832_5260346369282797055_n.jpg?oh=6b8a1fa5488bd032d9fc81fe16650acd&oe=561B191C) Probably my favorite match of the night. Both guys looked great. Match 5- Magnus vs Tomasso Ciampa![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11709401_10206118066407909_8139252521641338974_n.jpg?oh=6226797aa20c2cffe87181701fe627d4&oe=561A0C8E) Crowd was hot for Ciampa but Magnus went over in a match dominated by Ciampa. Main Event- Bullet Club vs Ohio is 4 Killers![](https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11207354_10206118070688016_1313073637149656495_n.jpg?oh=94bfbb0e727d4f6aaed122f73ce968d7&oe=56126590) My god. Bullet Club were gods or something to this crowd. They nearly ripped the fence down to get to touch them. Most popular I have ever seen Gallows. Bullet Club went over. Overall the show I felt was a 6/10. Would go again if they go back to Wisconsin.

So they've got a name, I like it. Hopefully they've found a TV deal just waiting a few more days to announce it.

I assume Jarretts approach to this is slow and steady wins the race.

You know, Jeff Jarrett can make all the videos he can about TV tapings, the announcement of the name of the show (which sounds eh IMO), etc. It doesn't mean anything unless he actually has a TV deal. Jeff, you announce the TV deal before you do tapings, not after. Even though I sound very critical, I still hope they do get a TV deal, and I'm surprised we haven't heard that they got a TV deal with CMT.

Not interested in GFW if it's just gonna be some TNA invasion stunt.

Well...it's different, I genuinely like Jarrett as a promoter and hope it does better moving forward...'Amped' is an interesting name, and hopefully GFW gains more traction...

Get AJ Styles and i am in, period. Stop hot-shoting anyone thats new (tna style), build characters up slow and steady.
Get people invested in the product and they will come...

What do we think to the championship names?
I can't be the only one who thinks NEX*GEN is an attempt to jump on the momentum of NXT can I? It's kind of similar and might show up on the same page if you googled it...
Global championship? I understand because it's the Global Force Wrestling, but it sounds gimmicky compared to "World" championship which means exactly the same thing.

Yeah I see where you're coming from, It's NXT with a bit of the X-Division from the looks of it. For some reason I can't help but chuckle a little since they've announced the Global Championship whilst they have the TNA KOTM Championship which was formerly known by the same name, perhaps JJ will slap a GFW sticker over the belt haha, who knows. Still though, GFW needs to work on a TV deal, I admire how keen they are with launching with promotion, but it all seems like too much at once, not to mention the bad attendances they've been getting. Oh well, early days still. I remain optimistic for these guys.

They did well for their first taping. All for Bobby Roode as their main champion as long as TNA isn't mentioned.
