I've heard of this guy before.....I think he used to wrestle for WXW in Germany....

Anyway, Nice to see some new talent in TNA, Looks like their getting ready to introduce some fresh faces into the company.

True, he needs to be (if they sign him) booked like badass mofo, the guy just looks that way to me.

He reminds me of a badass Adam Pearce.

It still bugs my brains why the morons like Pritchard and Snow didn't sign Pearce to a contract past March.

Well at least now even stupid Prickhard doesn't have a contract too.

I wanted him to be signed so bad, not gonna lie. His gut check match was pretty bad, though.

Well they gave him a spick green ass mask wearin' prick to work with in front of the biggest crowd Pearce has ever worked in front of (4500+). Pearce deserved a contract for his one last big run.

I hope this guy is good, he definitely has the look of a champion.

Oh, and his face. I see shades of DOC.

He looks like a bald, and bulky Amazing Red in that picture, haha. I can't wait to see him in action, hopefully he'll be a good acquisition.

Official and short TNA statement:
