6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Oct 27)

The situation with Impact Wrestling became more interesting this week.

Despite temporarily rebranding as Global Force Wrestling earlier in the year, that business relationship was never made official. As of this week, Impact owners Anthem Sports announced that the unofficial relationship had been officially severed, and if that maze of contradictions makes little sense, that’s because NWA:TNA/TNA/Impact Wrestling/GFW/Impact Wrestling is perhaps the most inept wrestling organisation to have ever existed. At least WCW gave us the New World Order and Goldberg. At least Herb Abrams’ UWF gave us Little Davey Meltzer, beating an entire horde of neckbeards to the joke by a full quarter of a century. Oh, and the funniest death this side of Elvis Presley.

NWA:TNA/TNA/Impact Wrestling/GFW/Impact Wrestling presents a simplistic form of entertainment in which good battles evil. The offscreen business, however, is harder to keep up with than the third season of Twin Peaks. Reading about the promotion - even remembering what it’s actually called - induces migraines on the regular.

In response to the announcement, GFW head honcho Jeff Jarrett said, simply, that Anthem has ran out of money. That should mean Impact is knackered - but, like the trademark tedious Triple H WrestleMania tussle, it refuses to die.
