C'mon be fair. It looks like the logo of a fake fed someone was watching in a early/mid '90s movie set in a dystopian near future.

When I was a kid I always thought the Tom Clancy Global Force books were pretty cool. Don't remember any pro wrestling in them, though.

Seriously that name and logo is so lovely. Any hope anyone had of it being a decent competitor can just flush that poo poo straight down the toilet. It doesn't even look like a joke. It just seems fake. Everything about it seems like this is a thing that's not real. It's so incredibly poorly done that it feels like it might be a TNA angle.

Who has even used that rounded 'future' font since the 90's? It's like someone's grandpa's idea of what'd look cool. Even the Impact Wrestling logos are better (slightly) than that.

Global Wrestling Federation got sued by WWE for being too close to World Wrestling Federation

I'm guessing WWE would sue anyone using Global Championship Wrestling for being too close to World Championship Wrestling

Well trademark wise (since WWE owns that WCW trademarks), there is a good chance you could succeed on likelihood of confusion between the two marks. Granted a legal letter would most likely just scare them and get the same effect for a lot less money than even drafting a full compliant.

Start up names are just going to get weirder because there are so many names that are in use or have been used. Global Championship Wrestling for example is in use.

Cornette has to be on a bunch of their releases too because he'd always be on TV/PPV announcing those stupid gimmick matches or having to make the most idiotic decisions an authority figure had ever been tasked with. The worst of which came pre-Russo!

Came here to post that, and that Jeff Jarrett's new promotion (since leaving TNA) has a website with absolutely no information about who may be in said promotion or where we might see it.

Here you go: http://globalforcewrestling.com

Their logo looks incredibly dated as well:

She hasn't booked horrible TV for years and is a woman, so maybe some of the misogyny in TNA's writing will be reduced?

Is it sad that when I first read that news, the first thing that came to mind was they were bribing her with a slightly higher-paying job than she previously had so she'd finally lay off them for Austin Aries' awfulness to her and not sue?

There is a strong argument to be made that never having written anything ever is a stronger credit than having written at one point for TNA.
