10 Things GFW Can Do To Make An Impact On Wrestling

5. Leave The Impact Zone

Long-time wrestling fans can habitually become jaded as viewers and it’s hard to impress an audience that has seen it all before. With that in mind, it’s fair to say that ethos is evident at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida.

As the home of TNA tapings for over a decade, TNA faithful of Orlando have seen everything there is to see: from the X Division excitement of AJ Styles and Samoa Joe to star power of the likes of Kurt Angle, Hulk Hogan, and Sting. If GFW want to present a programme that exudes vibrancy and excitement, the last thing they want is a crowd that’s tight lipped and sat on their hands.

Venturing outside of the Impact Zone would provide GFW TV with a fresh audience of excited fans and an irreplaceable soundtrack that displays just that. While they may have to take a hit financially to travel and potentially lower ticket prices to secure a full audience, the resulting product will improve by being bolstered with a vocal crowd.

However, with GFW taping numerous episodes in bulk, this could quite easily be tied in with their international tours. The tour shows are frequented by rowdy, paying fans, while the international audience would simultaneously provide Global Force with a legitimate “Global” feel.
