As for Compton in GFWWrestling... would it be in bad taste to try to find an emoticon hanging itself?
Let me FTFY
Thanks!



I also had an interesting thought that pertains to Tyrus and possibly Moose:
What if they are just trying to use these guys to get people in the door, and wouldn't actually air the Tyrus or Moose matches on TV? Would that possibly be enough to let Moose/Tyrus keep working TV for ROH/TNA?
It's probably not the case with Moose as he is less of a draw than Tyrus (except maybe in Atlanta) and he was featured in their original crop of names, but maybe this would be the case for Tyrus?

More Names:

The New Heavenly Bodies
Luke Hawx
Sonjay Dutt
Jigsaw
The Hotshots (Chase Stevens and Cassidy Riley- yes, the same ones from TNA's old PPV-only days).



Dutt and Jigsaw are exciting. Don't care much for any of the others, though I haven't seen much of Hawx and haven't seen any of the Bodies.

Meltzer has said that Moose and Tyrus will only be working GFW house shows, which would let them work for both GFW and their bigger employer at the same time.

i'm actually kinda happy about this, i don't feel like watching any other type of gimmick on Moose until after he completes his face turn in ROH

Agreed on all points. It also makes the Bucks situation make more sense, and hopefully means we'll still get Anderson and KES in ROH. This honestly sounds like it's the best thing for everyone (well... not exactly the best thing for Jeff, but the best thing for the wrestlers themselves).

it'll suck that he can't book them on TV stories from the start, but I would imagine that booking them for house shows secures a bunch of buys, and if they start building up money like that, it's a good selling point to sign a contract

Confirmed that there are 4 championships on the line for the tapings. Not sure if it's two singles and one tag, or just 4 divisions altogether

Riley and Stevens are like Blake and Murphy when I imagine them. And who in the fuck are the current Heavenly Bodies?! If I see Tom Prichard I will vomit.

Oof. Any word on if he'll be on TV (i.e. no longer in ROH)?
