I'm kinda mad Ray Gonzalez didn't get to come to TNA imagine him in LAX or maybe rivals with Ricky Banderas. Ray Gonzalez pulled a Carlos Colon and beat Double J for the NWA title at a IWA show. But I can't remember if Jarrett beat him in a rematch or they just ignored it and said it wasn't official like Ric Flair did all those years ago
I'd have loved them to play on that to bring Ray in but no, they quietly overturned the result because of a wrong ref or some shit
Scott D'Amore: I Almost Got Fired For Refusing To Do A Destroyer Back In The Day, Now Everyone Does It
Scott D'Amore wanted to protect the Canadian Destroyer.
Petey Williams doing the Canadian Destroyer on TNA/IMPACT television during the early days of the X-Divsion was mind-blowing for some people, including Will Ospreay at the time. Now, fans can watch multiple Destroyers in a match or on a card.

Speaking on What Do You Call It? Scott D'Amore discussed his hesitation to do a Destroyer when he was part of Team Canada alongside Petey, and why he has no issue doing it in 2023.
"It's funny because I refused to do the Canadian Destroyer on TV for so long. I almost got fired over it back in the day. They wanted me to hit a Canadian Destroyer on AJ Styles on TV and I was like, 'there's no way the fat dopey manager is hitting the coolest move in wrestling.' Back in 2004, 2005, the Canadian Destroyer was magical. Petey was the only guy doing it and people almost didn't know how it was done. Will Ospreay told me the other day that he and his friends would sit there and watch it back over and over again, trying to figure out how it was done. To me, you would have ruined that moment if Coach D'Amore had done the Canadian Destroyer. Now, fast forward to 2023, and everyone under the sun has done a Canadian Destroyer. It's not going to be bastardized by me doing it, so to hell with everyone else. I was still a little nervous. It was fun," said D'Amore.
D'Amore did the Destroyer to Jason Hotch at IMPACT Sacrifice at 2023. Fans can watch the clip in the video above.
Elsewhere during the interview, D'Amore discussed Trinity coming to IMPACT Wrestling. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
