Thinking more Japan anyway
That would be the war dogs.

There’s Kenta and Owens who are kind of unaffiliated with them, but generally speaking, anyone brought in at this point would be recruited by David Finlay for the war dogs.

You could have a full tag team turmoil between Bullet Club subgroups at this point

BCG vs. War Dogs (Finlay/whoever) vs. HoT vs. ABC vs. Kenta/Chase

Maclin is the reason I started watching TNA again. Although I enjoyed the Shelley title run, I think they left a lot on the table by taking the belt off Maclin. For me if it was anyone but Shelley as Champion, I would have switched off. With TNA rebranding I'm giving it a chance.

if Maclin goes though, and no D'Amore not sure if I'll stick around.

Pretty fair point tbh, I wanted a longer Maclin run too (but was ok because it's Alex Shelley and we love him). His booking has been kind of odd at times

That run being so short is why I've convinced myself Josh wasn't losing to him in hindsight

I'll admit I already forgot about that, they were having terrible luck with champs getting hurt when hot

It was short because Maclin got injured

No he got injured in his rematch after he already lost to Shelley. It was on the Australian tour

Steve Maclin wants to stay with TNA, but he’s taking it one match at a time.

Maclin spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard ahead of Sacrifice about his match against Nic Nemeth. During the conversation, Maclin was asked about reports about his TNA contract expiring in the near future.

On February 19, Fightful (via Fightful Select) reported that Maclin’s contract with TNA is currently set to expire in May. The report noted that Fightful was unable to confirm whether the two sides have had talks about a contract extension.

Maclin confirmed that his contract does end in May. He expressed his interest in staying with TNA beyond that, but noted he’s taking things a day at a time.

“Yeah. I know that my deal’s up in May with TNA. I would love to stay. I’ve let management know that I’ve been enjoying my time here and loving my time here,” Maclin said. “But it’s one of those things where it’s going to come down to a choice of what’s best for me and my family.

“So, right now, I am focused more or less on just this Friday in Windsor,” he added. “[I’m] taking things one match at a time. But I know that I have a lot to prove as well for them to come back at me with an offer to stay. So, that’s on me.”
Maclin joined TNA in June 2021, making his in-ring debut on the June 17 episode of Impact! Prior to that, Maclin worked for WWE for 7 years as Steve Cutler on NXT and SmackDown.

He would fit well in MLW, I hope Court Bauer will use those settlement money and sign him on a multi year contract. He would be wasted in AEW.
