What's the story?
ROH World Tag Team Champions and independent wrestling stars The Young Bucks have expressed a desire to buy the troubled GFW. This is after reports emerged that their parent company Anthem wants to part ways with GFW based on the fact that their association is reportedly 'hemorrhaging funds.'
While this comment may have been made in jest, it throws up some interesting possibilities. This is a glimpse of the Tweet that was first posted by Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks.
In case you didn't know...
Anthem Sports became the majority owners of the erstwhile TNA in January, this year. Their run has been bitter sweet with several controversies plaguing the company, during their run.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated first reported that there had been several cost cutting measures during the last round of GFW tapings. The word right now is that GFW wants to get out of the professional wrestling business for good, and sell the company.
The heart of the matter
We believe that the comment may have only been made jokingly, but The Young Bucks could actually be the best choice for the brand, as everything stands now. They are business savvy and have created a legacy, even though they've never really been associated with WWE.
Who knows? They may actually have the funds to purchase the company. Their merchandise sells like hot cakes and they have been living comfortable lives.
What's next?
Next week, there will be a GFW teleconference with Big John Gaburick, Scott D'Amore and Sonjay Dutt to address the future of the wrestling promotion. Some light should be shed about the future of the company, during the forthcoming teleconference.
Author's take
There's a very slim chance of this actually happening. The Young Bucks are funny guys and they're just capitalizing on the hottest news in the professional wrestling world, as of right now. They're doing far too well as performers, to want the burden of running such a massive enterprise, at least in my estimation.
