“It’s time I remind you all who the hell I am.”
- HHH


While we were watching MITB, my old man said that Tiffany Stratton “looked like one of those blow up dolls from back in the 70’s.”
 
Joe Hendry is getting poached by WWE isn’t he? No way they tease him this much just to leave the local hero in TNA.
I think everything hinges on whether they finally pull the trigger on him in Slammiversary, or if TNA pulls off one last LOLTNA moment to really outdo every other LOLTNA moment.

He's getting cheered louder than anyone else has been cheered since the Hogan-Bischoff TNA.
 
It occurred to me that a potential final opponent for John Cena could be the Miz. Both have a win against the other at WM, so this could be the rubber match. Miz works best as a heel and the promos could bring up how Miz was overshadowed by the Rock/Cena feud along with Cena's post-match proposal to then-girlfriend Nikki Bella.
Miz wasn't overshadowed; hell, Rock even cut a famous promo declaring Miz a legit threat and Cena a goofy little kid cosplay wrestler. And a case can be made that said feud MADE Miz's career.
 
The weird thing about Joe Hendry is that even beyond the theme song and most likely all the youtube recommendations you've gotten for his ICW song parodies, the man can both cut a decent promo and has some really cool moves like a one handed chokeslam.
I think if Cody wasn't around, WWE would have probably poached Joe Hendry and pushed him to the moon. Or maybe it's just the smaller, more "in" crowds at NXT/TNA popping for their heroes and I'm overestimating how much the bigger crowds believe in Hendry.
 
Gee i fucking wonder why hahaha

Their loss. Vince would have booked him to main event facing Kaito Kiyomiya. The natural heat Paul could have brought to that feud would have been amazing. I wasn't sold on Paul at first but he has really proven himself as just the perfect natural heel.

Vince can book him all he wants but that doesnt lift his permanent japan ban lol.

EDIT: aight according to the interwebs he isnt banned, because he didnt commit a crime which is fucking weird. sorry for the retardation.

I can't help but think he would have go away heat in Japan.
 
Give him a Mr. America gimmick and have him be as offensive to the Japanese as he wants, I'd guarantee you it'll surpass New Japan.
I'll watch him if he slants his eyes, puts in some buck teeth, and talks in an offensive Chinese (or really any sort of amalgamation of Oriental) accent. Otherwise, hard pass on both the Pauls forever and ever amen.
 
Dario is such an oddity in a good way. The dude is a legit actor who probably never had anything to do with wrestling until he did Lucha Underground, but honestly he was one of the reasons I liked the show.
I always thought it was the coolest shit when he would show up for the Lucha Libre World Cup and other weird odds and ends
the fact he still works with MLW leads me to think he's grown a bit of a taste for the business
dude really was a natural even at ringside managing

basically Jarrett in Mexico but Japan
YOU ALL ARE JUST GOMI
I AM FROM AMERICA WHICH MAKES ME BETTER THAN A BUNCH OF GOMI LIKE YOU JAPANESE
 
I'll never understand why a Japanese person coming to actual Japanese music is supposed to be offensive.

Reminds me of retards saying that video Tiffany Straton tweeted was racist because it called a black bitch a "black bitch."
In this case, they used the same music for every Japanese person for a stretch of time.
