SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
-Jeff Jarrett, the co-founder of TNA and founder of GFW, is taking an “indefinite leave of absence” from GFW duties. “Effective immediately, Jeff Jarrett is taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as Chief Creative Officer to focus on personal matters,” states GFW on its website. “Jeff will be available on a consultative basis as needed.” There will be some reshuffling within GFW regarding duties of various people as a result, since Jarrett was an instrumental part of the creative structure. ProWrestling.net has more on this developing story, including reports of financial problems HERE.

-Total Bellas returns tonight on E! featuring the Daniel Bryan-Brie Bella wedding planning and John Cena-Nikki Bella relationship developments including the issue of pregnancy.
“It’s taking moments that would normally be private between the two of us and now all of a sudden it’s public so we don’t have anything to just ourselves.” Watch a clip of Bryan uncomfortably covering Brie Bella’s naked breasts at a photo shoot HERE at the E! website. “I don’t see the fascination she has with being naked in front of a camera,” says Bryan.
-Nikki Bella told TV Insider that she was instrumental in some additions and changes to “Total Bellas” this year because she is now an executive producer, including the decision to add Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, and Carmella to the cast. “I definitely had a lot of input being an executive producer, and those three girls I got to spend a lot of time with, especially with Alexa and Carmella on SmackDown Live. Being around them and seeing how they are and seeing their presence in the ring, I thought that these girls are money. I knew we had to get them in here. I have also hung out with Nia a lot, and she is amazing. One, she is hilarious. Also, her strength and what she represents is amazing. And you are going to see that a lot on Season 7 of Total Divas. They are just amazing women.” Read more from that interview at our sister site, www.PWPodcasts.com.
-PWTorch.com’s Sarah Knight returns tonight with her coverage of Total Bellas once again. Catch up on her popular (and snarky) coverage of the past seasons of Total Bellas and Total Divas HERE.

Fans, you know GFW is here. You know where to find it. Why won’t you support it? It is an excellent product, with excellent talent.
“You’re” always saying you want to have an alternative to WWE. Here it is. When it’s gone, don’t expect someone else to step up and try. This is our chance. Check it out Thursday night.
I agree with you. GFW is a very entertaining show. If you are a wrestling fan more than you are a Sports Entertainment fan, there is a good chance you will like it. I like the show more than I like the WWE. I am not a fan of Sports Entertainment at all.
