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.

Angle could well be on that list as well

I believe his contract is up in September.

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.
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.

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.

A little back Stephanie McMahon was asked about Kurt Angle coming back to WWE.

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.

I suppose they could reform beer money, but in a way where they're both singles competitors too. I reckon a Mr. Anderson vs Storm fued could be pretty good too
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.

They've practically handed at least four guys with national television exposure, who people know, with talent, over to Jarrett.
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.

Good move. They need to tie down the guys that they see as being big in the future and I think his current feud is going to launch him into the main event.

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.
Obviously the key is television exposure. If they can make that happen then TNA would have some major competition.

I can see AJ working part time for Jarrett, maybe when he has a few months off from Japan. He wiuld be a decent name to be able to promote as a special appearance and could have a showcase match or short feud with one of their top regular stars.
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

They should build their own guys off the back of Daniels, Kaz etc. and then bring in AJ for a one off deal with the newer guys. Running AJ vs Daniels or Kaz probably isn't a bad idea in the early days because it has some familiarity and will at least provide good matches.
"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!

GFW needs a clear direction
in TNA jarret had a hybrid of sports entertainment and good ol wrasslin and it didn't work.
