Live NXT July 9th 2024 Discussion Thread - All the fallout from Heatwave

[Canadian Dragon]

that being said, not being a fan of TNAs current management, I'm not really that upset about it. maybe a tiny bit envious at how well NXT is implementing the talent into their show. hopefully other companies are taking notes on how you can integrate that stuff into angles seemlessly if you work hard at it. pretty impressive stuff from Shawn

The talent is benefiting like crazy that's my biggest pro, everyone is coming off better than they do in TNA, I kinda couldn't care less bc like you said I'm not hot on them as a company rn either

"feels" like it's mostly Shawn, given his comments in interviews, but I am sure Hunter is signing off on it and working on the international stuff too. I do think they are trying to further cut the legs from AEW by showing off they can work well with others, and even "do it better"

yeah the more I have reflected, the more I decided I should not feel bad for the tna company, and I should be happy for the talent. my only annoyance is jealousy and enviousness that the company I like didn't do it better when they had the chance

Also can't be understated how good it was to see Wentz back like this after years now

Joe Hendry and Jordynne getting huge contracts as soon as they can and they deserve it

Yeah I mean I doubt Shawn could start a partnership with TNA without Hunter's benediction.

As someone that does still watch TNA I wish they'd send some better people but Dempsey is a good start lol

I get it tbh, there's not a whole lot of incentives from WWE and their talents side to go over. Like perhaps the ppl that showed up in nxt will have part of their feud continue on TNA -

I also suspect that TNA has to pay WWE talents to show up in TNA to tape and maybe its expensive lol

 

[Y2Jayne]

Also did they have Dempsey kill Kemp in kayfabe?? Learning from the Don, I see.

Who were you expecting / hoping for out of curiosity

Natalya mostly I didn't think that was too much of an ask and it was before her contract allegedly ran out

 

[Chris]

I really wanted her vs Jordynne

 

[Bad News Booty]

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say Hendry was more over than Trick last night
