The only way Will would have signed with TNA is if they kept the name and Will in early days of New Japan didnt renew his contract and all. As much as I love IMPACT/TNA it isnt and wasnt the place for big time misawa arc 5 star 5 star Will Ospreay to signed to.

Hate saying it but when it comes to TNA, sometimes the money isn’t going to be enough. Especially for a top name in the business.

They’re going to be looking for exposure too. And in that regard, TNA is going to get outclassed by WWE and AEW.

But A for effort to Scott D’Amore and his crew. More than I can say for previous regimes

0/2 for Osprey and Punk but I think they were massive reaches. Agree that the fact they are at least trying is a good thing and they do have some money to spend.

They were still TNA in 2016 when he could have signed... he still chose NJPW

Top guys in 2016 TNA would’ve been who?

Broken Matt, Eli Drake, EC3, Alberto Patron?

Wasn't 2016 the year where Jeff Jarrett's Global Force "invaded" TNA?

Even if they missed out on long-shots like Punk and Ospreay, this def means they'll be more likely to actually spend on your Ali's or Ziggler and could even outbid AEW who might not have as much interest to offer too much money for mid card acts for them

also by upping the price of the big free agents u expend aew and wwes budget to overpay for popular up and comers and midcarders so it benefecial to talents and TNA i think

The ONLY way I'd want to see that is if Joe Hendry makes an entrance video for him.
