7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (May 7)

5. GFW Won't Die

Sienna And KM
Impact Wrestling

Dear GFW, who the hell are you and why are you in my house? Well...house being a metaphor for my TV, but whatever.

This week, Sienna beat Christina Von Eerie for the GFW Women's Title, which you'll remember being defended in such televised classics as...as...wait, it's NEVER been defended on TV! So if the belt (or any GFW Title) has a lineage that no one can recall, then why should anyone care? Jeff Jarrett should probably explain that or something.

It wasn't just that one match either, as Magnus is walking around the Impact locker room acting like he owns the place because he has the GFW Heavyweight Title. He's feuding with Alberto El Patron who wants it for some reason. But why? What is Patron going to do with the thing? Where exactly is he planning on defending it? Is he going to fight Abyss in an empty ballpark at 2 am or something?

Well, maybe we could still get some good tag team matches between L.A.X. and the GFW Tag Team Champions (hold on, I need to look up who they are)...The Bollywood Boyz? Hmm...well, that's probably not going to happen anytime soon. Then there's Cody Rhodes who has the NexGen Title, except he's an ROH guy now.

Impact has certainly improved in some areas over the last few months, but their stubbornness to pretend that GFW was actually a relevant thing continues to be incredibly confusing. Jeff paid money for the belts, he must just want to get something out of them.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
