The Pope is Officially My Favorite

[Axis]

If you spoiled it for yourself, why you getting mad at me?

Because he's an idiot.

Anyway, Dinero is definitely very solid. He's a really fiery babyface with one of the best comebacks in the company. It did come off very poorly on the PPV though, when his match main evented and it got very subpar reactions. That is probably more Kennedy's fault, though, as his control segments were boring as fuck. I look forward to his match with Styles, though. That will be the true test.

His mic work has been almost as painful as his in ring work. I really hope he breaks something else..lol

He shouldn't have used the same gimmick as he did in WWE.

I dont really see the big deal of "The Pope". I guess he is just the flavour of the moment.

His entrance is average. yeah he gets money flowing down. NWO every now and then use to have NWO message writting paper flowing down.

His promo's are averageand His Wrestling has improve a bit from his WWE Stinit.

But i don't see him being a top talent. I bet cha TNA will push him for the next 3-4 Months and then forget about him.

I.E. herandez, Matt Morgan months Pushes of 2009. I remember when everyone was dickriding them and they aren't that great either. Look at them now.

Saying his name once rather than twice won't make him any better of a worker.... Otherwise, what gimmick?


Pope: Like his work, enjoying the character. Looking forward to seeing how he'll hang in a big match environment.

Morgan is just fucking AWFUL. He can discus clothesline his ass the fuck out of TNA. I think Pope is far more over than Morgan/Hernandez ever were. And he apparently has Hogan's backing which means a hell of a lot more.

i dont mind morgan in the ring actually, you dont have to be a great wrestler to put on a good match, you just have to be able to make it compelling and i think morgan can do that on some occasions, not all.

as for pope, i always saw this guy getting close to the title one day but i still havent seen anything from him that makes me think he deserves to be champion or be a full time main eventer. and im not hating on him its just he hasnt been put in the situation before or built up like a star til now. ball is in his court.

i think tna put him in the best possible situation to have a good match at Lockdown though, AJ or Kurt i believe can pull a decent match out of anyone, and putting the match in the cage gives the match an element that can help the match be more interesting cuz it can be brutal. my guess is a solid 15-20 minute match that'll help put dinero over some(say enough for a spot in KOTM come slammiversary) but AJ will win this one. Though it would be nice to see a black mens world champion for a change.

Yeh I wasn't so surprised to see Dinero win this. Partly cause once Angle was eliminated I figured he'd be the only one to go on and win. Anderson's little stint of beating people would bite him in the ass, ofcourse.

And just because Pope had a match with, and won I think against AJ a few weeks ago, doesn't mean he's going to win the title anytime soon. This is just to build the match. C'mon, how much better will the match be if Pope already has a victory over AJ!

Also I don't really know how to feel about Pope. His character is pretty entertaining, nothing flash, and his promos are good. His in-ring stuff is pretty decent, need I remind him that when you've been attacked by two guys backstage, then had the SHIT pummelled out of you for 10-15mins, once u win you should probably show those injuries/beat downs a little more.

TNA is striking the iron while is hot and you have to give them props for that. The product has been really hit and miss lately, but one of the best things about it is the way they were able to make "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero look like a star all in one night. Some may argue that its too early for him to get this push, but I think now is the time to take the risk while people still care.

Lmao. You're so wrong.
