Is it just me or does anyone else think that this current gimmick isn't doing him any favours and just isn't working for him? The feud with Abyss just dragged on too long and the current storyline with Chelsea is just awful with Chelsea coming to the ring with him then either leaving or costing him the match.

TNA need to seperate them and have Desmond Wolfe go back to his Lone Wolfe persona so that he can have a gimmick that is worthy of a higher place on the card.

Do you like this current storyline with Chelsea? What would you like to see done with Desmond Wolfe?

This has to end soon. I don't really care what they do afterwords but Wolfe is way too talented to waste his time jobbing and getting left by his valet.

Exactly, it is a pointless gimmick which focuses more on Chelsea than it does Desmond Wolfe which is bizarre. Chelsea isn't going to bring in a dime for TNA whereas Wolfe is money when packaged and pushed right. He needs to be moving up the ranks like Pope and I hope things change for him soon.

I can only agree, and pairing him off with Abyss who is now a broken down, over his stunt wrestler did not help either. I supose what happen with Wolfe is that by getting that plum feud with Angle staght away, it almost seem too good to be true, and so it seemed likely than he would take a dip after that. Now sadly he has been lost in the suffle.

I have noticed that recently he has been paired with Brutus Magnus on Explosion. Good move by TNA since both wrestlers have been underused in recent months and TNA need a few more fresh tag teams. They can pair together for six months or so and then move on again as singles wrestlers and hopefully TNA will use them then.

Yes but to me that just seems like a thrown together tag team, and of couse Wolfe has worked well in a tag team before, but for me he needs to be in singles.

There is nothing going for him in singles at the moment though. Anderson and Pope have taken the spot that he should be filling at the moment. Those two will continue to be pushed with Angle and Styles over the title and until that dies down Wolfe is best off being in a tag team. He would just be used in a midcard jobbing role if he was a singles wrestler at the moment, there is no room on the card unfortunately.

Even if it is a thrown together tag team sometimes they can work out really well, look at Rhoode and Storm. No-one could have predicted that those two complete opposites could become TNA's best tag team.

I don't disagree, but the difference between Beer Money and this is that Rhode's singles push had failed to get off the ground, and James Storm has always been better as a tag wrestler anyway. This just seems like the booking comitting have run out of ideas for both. Although you maybe right than for the time being it might be both's best option to make the most out of a bad situlation.

I would really rather see them as a Tag Team at the moment. Honestly, TNA doesn't seem to give a crap about the X-Division anymore, and the Television Division is by nature going to be filled with the now midcarders that should have been main eventing cards by now, with Styles, Joe and Morgan pushed down the card and Pope with nowhere to go really.

He isn't getting a Heavyweight push, that's for certain. you have Van Dam, Hardy and Angle, two of the two three draws of any wrestling show. You have Sting, Jarret, Foley and Nash hanging around there too. Anderson is pushing his way through all of a sudden. So there isn't much room for him at the moment as a singles guy.

At least with the Tag Team Division, you have something cares about, while you have Machine Guns and GenMe heading it currently, you still have a ton of room to work with. It's a great way to get over without taking time away from the topcarders too. so right now, I would keep them together. Sit back and enjoy what they can do with an exciting Division right now, with matches vs. GenMe, vs. MCMG, and vs. Beer Money.
