This is all about a title fight to determine the top fighter at 135 in New England. Or something. Matt Smith is claimed to be the greatest wrestler in New England history. Apparently this is a rematch too - Smith won by DQ on a head spike as Smith was trying to pull off an armbar, which most promotions wouldn't bother calling.
Then, the show transitions to being about Rodrigo Almedia/Justin Homsey...and wait. This isn't a show with fights. This is a half hour promo show? A weekly promo show? Like 24/7? FOR EVENTS RUN IN HIGH SCHOOL GYMS?
I kid you not, this is the most outrageous and embarassing shit I've ever seen. Is this a time buy? We see all sorts of "analysts", highly stylized videography for segments of interviews with the refs, so on, so forth. For cage fighting. With nobodies. In a high school gym in Nashua, NH. Is this part of some trolling effort? Look at articles like this one;
That was written by nokaut's english correspondent and clear PR rep for the GFL, Richard Hubbard. Who, it should be noted, is interviewed here while standing against a brick wall. Nice side angle too. There's a subtitled postfight interview that is fucking crazy ridiculous - I mean, clearly this is a dude who imagines himself to manning the new ECW the way this is shot.
In short, if you see Global Fight League on your system and want to see dudes scrap, skip it. Won't get it. But you will get something absurd.
