Apparently, TNA has brought Don West back in order to try to push TNA merchandise. After watching this video, it seems more like Anthem wants to get rid of TNA merchandise. A lot of people are speculating right now that this might be because Anthem might do that TNA rebranding that a lot of us have talked about for a few years now. If you're changing the name of your company, it is a good idea to get rid of all of your old merchandise before you do it.
I think that makes sense. I'm really interested in seeing what direction it might go in. With Jeff Jarrett working with TNA again, I've seen some people talking about possibly merging TNA and GFW together, with GFW becoming the rebranded TNA. I don't really see this happening though. Merging the companies would effectively change the ownership of the company and I can't see Anthem doing that so soon after buying TNA to begin with.
Not only that, GFW has a bit of baggage right now. I mean, it doesn't have TNA level baggage, but still, I think the majority of people view GFW as the company that couldn't make it. So having it make it by changing TNA into GFW would just look pretty bad, I think.
I dunno what Anthem plans to do. But honestly, I am very interested. A new name could go a long way to easing some public perceptions of the company. I think a new look would be good too.
I dunno really. But I am happy to see Don West back. I have to say I am curious to see how this all plays out.
Also, it's just beyond cool to me that Jarret is back working with the company and Dixie is out. Tickles me to no end.
