According to PWInsider, Chris Sabin's contract appears to be coming due with no renewal in sight.

So that would be Sabin, Daniels, Kaz and potentially Aires out the door. Jarrett must be licking his lips because that would be a good foundation to build his company on.

I believe his contract is up in September.
I imagine AJ Styles would be very receptive to joining him as well so he could have a very strong roster in only a few months. |

I'm sure Angle could get a legends deal with WWE easily enough. It depends whether he can be convinced to step back from being an active competitor.

Better news on the contract front for TNA is that James Storm has apparently signed a new long term contract. I couldn't see WWE wanting him so this is a good move. I can't help but feel that TNA dropped the ball on him a little by not giving him a proper title run a few years back though.

That's right, but reading what i've been reading, he's apparently been fairly vocal in saying the right things to try to get back to the WWE so if they don't show any interest he could also potentially join Jarrett's new promotion.

Yeah James Storm's stock has really fallen the last few years. He's just been poorly booked. That being said he has been very good since he's turned heel feuding with Gunner.

He's been good in his feel feud with Gunner but I really wonder where he goes next after that. I would guess that Gunner wins to end the feud so he can be elevated to the main event but then Storm will have lost every big singles feud he's had and there are already a lot of upper midcard/main event heels in TNA. Still, it's been entertaining in itself.

Sabin has indeed finished his commitments with TNA on Sunday. Shame, I don't understand why they aren't keeping these really good guys

Money. They seem to have been paying them over inflated contracts and now Dixie's mother is in charge of the purse strings, those contracts are being reduced.
I do like the idea of an Anderson vs Storm feud. Both have lost a bit of star power recently and a feud together could propel them up the card again. Both are needed because the main event scene is a bit thin. |

Sabin, Daniels, Kaz and AJ? There are rumours about Aires being on his way too. If they can't afford them then they've got to go though.
They're doing ok with making new stars. I like Shaw, EC3, Spud and the Wolves. It's just the booking is an issue. It seemed promising at Lockdown but they've lost any spark they had. |

The Jarretts on Twitter posing with Kaz and Daniels. Looks like they're on their way out of TNA. |

They've practically handed at least four guys with national television exposure, who people know, with talent, over to Jarrett.
Obviously the key is television exposure. If they can make that happen then TNA would have some major competition. |

If even half of the people they're pictured with on Twitter sign with them, they'll have a massive head start. I know AJ has signed a one year deal with New Japan but I'd say almost certainly that if GFW is still going in a year's time, he'll sign with Jarrett.

Jarrett needs more than just the TNA and WWE guys, AJ vs Daniels would be awesome but we have seen it too much, We need new feuds not old TNA ones.
That is my worry for Jarretts company |

"Global Force Wrestling" (terrible name BTW) needs a national TV deal before it means anything. Talent-wise, AJ or Aries would be a massive coup. Sabin, Kaz and Daniels, as much as I like them, aren't draws.
As you guys know, I'm sceptical whether even a single number two company is viable in the US right now, let alone two (on a national, TV-deal scale). The wrestling audience as a whole shrank drastically after Vince bought WCW and has never recovered. The key would be to get people watching wrestling who never have done so before. Signing ex-TNA talent wont do that. However, I'd love to be proved wrong! |
