Amped Tapings

It has been announced by the newly christened GFW Impact Wrestling that the Amped tapings will be released under the Impact One Night Only strand as Amped Anthology with edits to it compared to how it was originally filmed

GFW Championship Tournaments

The tournament section needs to be cleaned up.

There were only three matches in the Women's Tournament (two Semi-Finals and the Finale):

07-24-15: Women's Championship Tournament Semi-Final: Christina Von Eerie defeated Lei'D Tapa & Mickie James

08-21-15: Women's Championship Tournament Semi-Final: Amber O'Neal defeated Laura James & Katrina Waters

10-23-15: Women's Championship Tournament Final: Christina Von Eerie defeated Amber O'Neal

The Global Championship tournament is also messed up, however cleaning that up may be more difficult because of matches not happening, and losers actually advancing into the tournament.


List of personnel signed to Global Force Wrestling

What happened to the list of personnel signed to Global Force Wrestling? This section needs to be put back on. As far as I know Global Force Wrestling has not folded as a promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.41.189 (talk) 22:51, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

No, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Global Force Wrestling personnel. We have no way of knowing who would be on a regular GFW roster or if they even have on at all.LM2000 (talk) 23:03, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Reno Scum new GFW Tag Team champions

According to reports on the latest Impact tapings, Reno Scum appeared wearing the GFW Tag Team Titles. I am unable to find a reference as to how or when they gained the titles which is why I'm hesitant to add it. The only link is to the Impact tapings report from Wrestling Observer here. 101.182.45.237 (talk) 09:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Redirects to this page and edit warring.

There has been a recent edit war on this page and a number of pages that were redirected as per this AfD.

There have been a lot of edits but not a lot of discussion (or any that I can see outside of edit summaries.) Should these articles continue to be redirects? This would be an ideal place for a discussion about that or indeed an AFD. Please discuss it instead of constant reverting back and forth. Woody (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Leave as redirects and leave protected per my !vote at the previous AfD. Nothing has changed to make these titles any more notable than they were then, and recent events only strengthen the case that they will never achieve notability independent of the promotion. --Finngall talk 05:55, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Leave as redirects and leave protected It's WP:TOOSOON to tell if the "merger" with TNA Impact will make these championships notable someday or if unification is just around the corner.LM2000 (talk) 06:04, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Cody as Nex*Gen champion

Here's a simple fact: we don't know when the title was formally stripped, but the fact is Impact/the new GFW does not list Cody as a current champion at their roster page, meaning he is not a current champion (being that they own all of the former GFW IP), so to continue to claim that he holds the title is factually incorrect. I'm not sure how to phrase or otherwise note this, however. oknazevad (talk) 15:01, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Until their is a reliable source, it's just conjecture until an official statement is made. Only thing that is known via the Jarrett teleconference call is that the title is not retired, and until Cody is officially stripped of the title saying him being champion is "factually incorrect" is original research and not supported by any sources. Hellboy42 (talk) 08:29, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
It's similar to Abyss winning the TV title and then disappearing. They eventually made it clear how they recognized the reign but it took quite some time. Like we did there, we should just list Cody as the champ until they tell us what is going on. On a side note, has the GFW Tag Team Championship been unified? I cannot find any sources that say so.LM2000 (talk) 09:56, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
The tag titles were unified when LAX, already Impact Tag champs, won the tournament for the vacant GFW title. The four-way match at Slammiversary was promoted as being for the unified title. They most certainly are unified. As for the Nex*Gen title, Jarrett said they have future plans for it, so it's not retired, but they also do not list Cody as current champion, so it's clear he's not currently recognized as champion. Seems pretty obvious to list it as vacant. oknazevad (talk) 11:09, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm okay with listing it as vacant right now. If they manage to get Cody back to continue the reign we can adjust accordingly. I found this on Impact's instagram which says LAX became unified champs at Slammiversary.LM2000 (talk) 11:59, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Legal entity name

I have seen no one give a legit reason why not to include it. Can someone please provide one? And saying that a completely unrelated (they never merged) article removed it certainly isn't one. Articles about companies start with the legal name consistently, see WWE, World Championship Wrestling. The article on Starbucks has the corporate name and the number of stores in the lead paragraph. We even have the LLC name in the infobox so why not include it in the actual article? - GalatzTalk 04:38, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
