Summary

A planned match between MJF and Bear Bronson for GCW in March was reportedly stopped after TNA blocked it.

The report did not include any further detail about why the match was stopped, only that the bout had been planned for GCW before TNA stepped in.

TNA's recent outside-booking issue

This update follows another recent booking change tied to TNA. Moose was pulled from MLP Multiverse earlier this week, and TNA president Carlos Silva cited "partner conflicts" when explaining that decision.

Nic Nemeth, however, is still being advertised to face MJF at CAP Wrestling on May 1. That leaves TNA's outside-booking picture looking selective rather than universal.

What the blocked MJF match means for GCW and TNA

MJF missing this match means GCW lost a planned attraction involving one of wrestling's biggest active names. Bear Bronson also lost a high-profile booking that could have brought extra attention to him on the independent scene.

Placed next to the Moose situation, this report suggests TNA is taking a tighter approach to bookings that intersect with partner relationships. That does not mean every outside match is off the table, but it does show those decisions are being screened closely.
