[6.0] "Was pretty freakin great 'til they ran out of money (right away). The mythical African business man is so wondrously "only in wrestling", Joe Pedicino bought into the catfish anyway. The genesis stages, those title tournament episodes. So good. The vast array of talent was striking**. Loved The Cartel stable. Scott Anthony (Raven)'s color commentary is a riot. The contributions as a whole from Scott Anthony propel many episodes. The sudden loss of income gut punch left the company staggering though. The "a look back at past action" era is BRUTAL and it's so immediate. Feels like the true GWF popped n fizzled over a 6 week course. The ashes smoldered for a while but a phoenix never truly rose. At least the ashes DID smolder for just long enough to give us some decently watchable wrestling during less spectacular times. ** more names to mention: Barry Horowitz getting his biggest career opportunity yet. The rise of The Patriot, the compelling Dark Patriot, LOL the Handsome Stranger (Marcus Alexander Bagwell), Jerry Lynn & The Lightning Kid (X Pac)'s rivalry, and of course: Booker T and Stevie Ray!"

"Hey, I'm new here. I do have a couple of questions. I am starting my own company. and this is the name I actually wanted to use. Anyone know if it's still going on and if the name is still trademarked and copyrighted? Thanks :)"

[8.0] "GWF was a fun promotion to watch when Inwas younger. They had a show on ESPN for a bit. A lot of WWE talent game from GWF such as Ebony Experience (Harlem Heat), John Hawk (JBL), Jerry Lynn, Lightning Kid (X-pac) and I remember others like Chaz, Jeff Gaylord, "Wild" Bill Irwin, "Hollywood" Johk Tatum, and "Iceman" King Parsons. A lot of memorable characters."

[4.0] "Run of the mill group that attempted to fill the niche left behind by World Class. Generally the booking was okay, but the talent just wasn't there. While many future big names had a cup of coffee there early in their careers, most of them were still green at this point and the known draws boiled down to Eddie Gilbert (who didn't stay long), Kevin Von Erich, and Chris Adams."

[5.0] "GWF was an attempt to pick up the wrestling mantle at the Dallas Sporatorium after WCCW's closure. Its product was mostly straightforward and no-nonsense in comparison to the cartoony early-'90s WWF product, though GWF was not without a few digressions into silliness of its own (i. e. the infamous Bungee Match). It had a good roster and provided a stage for a number of then-current and future stars; Kerry and Kevin Von Erich, Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Chris Adams, Jerry Lynn, Eddie Gilbert, the Freebirds, Booker T and Stevie Ray, Lightning Kid (X-Pac), the Patriot and Scott Anthony (Raven) were all among the luminaries to pass through its doors. Unfortunately the company came and went in only three years, folding in 1994, but reruns of its programming, which originally ran daily on ESPN, can commonly be found today on ESPN Classic's late-night lineup."
