I feel he'd make the group worse by being near it, and that's saying something for a group fronted by AJ Francis
AJ Francis has been tremendous in TNA. Not even “surprisingly good”…he’s been killing it.

which is a reminder that people say this shit about so many people who turn it around there. Big Bill got shit on. Francis got shit on. Hell…why are they bothering with the worst Forgotten Son was said about Maclin when his vignettes started.

Yeah he sucked…and probably will suck. But people have turned things around in this company before.

My thought on Maclin initially was "why are they basically doing Morrissey's sit-down-and-talk-to-the-camera vignette gimmick again?" but I feel otherwise I was more open

Bill is the only example I agree with, bc of him I was open on Maclin and he showed out quick. AJ Francis has performed exactly as I've expected though, I think he's very entertaining and has good matches when they're laid out right. The tide seems to be turning to where people are overrating him now tho after he got too much hate at first lol

I think I was mostly fine with Bill too? You've got to remember that this was a time when TNA's pool of credible talent had been gutted over the past year so you take what you get

I audibly groaned when he first showed up so I can't say the same lol he did well quickly like Maclin though, but still took me a bit to come around

I looked up what I had to say during the Rebellion 21 LD and I was fairly quiet actually

I just memed that "it's the guy from the Smiths" because both their names are Morrissey

Tbf at that point the last we'd seen of him was an out of shape verbally abuse Magat. Not an out of pocket reaction lol

Enzo and AJ as a unit would slay. Certified heat magnets.

But would it be good heat for Enzo in 2025? Or would it be Charlotte Flair heat?
I just think X-Pac has suffered enough okay
I doubt he would get change the channel heat.

Most likely he’ll do a very good job of getting the crowd to want to see him get his ass beat.
