TNA Slammiversary 2025 - SUNDAY, July 20 - Live from New York - Only on PPV

I thought he was fun but green on NXT then I stopped watching and came back when he was basicially already in gimmick hell in WWE and they started blaming their poor product and ratings exclusively on him ON SCREEN which was ridiculous but is character did absolutely suck.

Broke was funny, happy sucked, NXT team with Bron and short lived face then before his firing was fucking amazing

To be fair, I do not blame him specifically for the WWE product being terrible at the time. He just also sucked.

Corbin/Dyer fucking rules
Love Enzo
Dark State is good I see a big future for Dion Lennox.

No one actually did besides the McMahon family on screen lol it's the craziest thing I've seen

Now you want a hot take.... I want Trick Williams to defend the belt.

Well where I disagree is that he was ever that bad, I think he was just booked bad and wasn't good enough to turn that shit into salad. So for me it's never a question of "how did he get better" it's "how is he booked". He has strengths that can be used and he's putting in the work since his release to help whoever books him. A great guy to have in your locker room

That’s a perfectly fair take and he’s not responsible for bad writing he’s asked to perform, but for me I’ve never liked him. I didn’t like him when he was on NXT. I didn’t like him in any period in the WWE on Raw or SmackDown. Booked by Vince, Shawn or Hunter. I’ll see how he does in MLW. I’ve been known to dislike people singles runs and then like them when paired in a team.

You mean retain? That’s not hot, it’s nuclear.

If Santana loses after that tribute to his dad, TNA is cooked.

I've only seen his entrance with Dijak so I can't even comment there but I would say that's his best position nowadays, in some team. And I would still prefer a babyface run, I think he can do it. Dude was getting huge pops right before WWE cut him

He could maybe slide into an AJ Francis role too of an upper card heel who gets title matches and feuds with the next top faces. That's a safer route but one I'd probably like less.

Also why did you bring him up? Is he rumored to appear or something or just bc the bishop name reminded you? He'd be a good fit in TNA, but I haven't heard anything

During Impact I was popped for Josh Bishop coming in, but I was told it was probably actually Bishop Dyer since he only said Bishops. So when I saw this update that I was right the first time I once again popped for it. Sky made a remark about him not being good or something so I retorted even if he’s not as good as I remember, he’ll be better for me in TNA than Bishop Dyer who peeps said last night it would be.

 

[Chris]

Ah okay, I vaguely recalled the Corbin convo from the live thread but didn't remember what caused it, so I think that was what made me think I was missing some report lol

 

[Switchblake]

My only criticism so far of the tag team is that they didn’t add a descriptor to skyscrapers. Unless you’re like managed by like the same person I don’t think a new tag team should just take over a former tag team’s name.

 

[R-Troop]

The TNA team needs to win both these matches and fuck the invaders right off forever

Sky wanting Matt Cardona to win makes Troop a happy Troop.

 

[Chris]

I've been really enjoying his angle with the system and Myers's role in that too. A very under the radar one but well laid out so far
