TNA Wrestling General Discussion Thread

So...you know that Can-Am Wrestling that Big Scotty D runs? Guess who one of the trainees/gradates was? Kaito "I swear to god I am not a simp for him" Kiyomiya

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Canada's kind of a weird place to go on excursion in this day and age but good to see he got something good out of it

 

[Chris]

Wrestling fans and not understanding how wrestlers can be perfectly happy when they make enough money to live comfortably doing the Impact/NJPW/indies lifestyle lmao name a better combo

 

[Alexa]

You mean that thing I preach about and understand, but...nah I aint finishing that. But yeah, I have been saying this forever and like Tremont said "As long as I make enough money to pay for my house, food, and keep my wife happy then I am doing good"

Yeah like obviously some wrestlers want to make as much money as possible and idc that doesn't bother me but fans need to understand people have different motivations lmao i don't even care if your opinion is wanting to see Bey on a bigger stage, that's fine too, but have the common sense to know that's not the conversation you need to start in the limited time you're talking to him

Yeah, I get it, and doesnt bug me too much but it does when I know the guy can put on a show (looking at you Nakamura and KENTA). But like we have talked about before like with Moose he is a big fish in a small pond, so if he went to WWE or AEW then he would get lost. And I feel the same with Bey. He would just be lost or just be some lacky, but also Bey has a strong bond with IMPACT since it was his faovirte promotion growing up.

Plus, loyality is a major thing as well. For example, Jacob Fatu and Hammerstone could leave MLW and go anywhere, but they dont

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Isn't the reason Fatu and Hammerstone don't go anywhere because they're tied into ridiculously long contracts with money that doesn't get paid

No they've both re-signed and talked up how much they appreciate Court for giving them opportunities where no one else would. Fatu for legal issues and Hammerstone for unknown but rumored to be steroids

 

[Chris]

Not to say others haven't had issues like that with MLW but the core of loyalists are treated well for what it's worth

 

[Leon TrotSky]

I can't imagine Hammerstone is being passed up for steroids when Brian Cage exists

 

[Chris]

Me either really that's why I said rumored bc it's more of a fan theory. It was WWE explicitly that he had a tryout with and they passed on him so he re-signed with MLW. Idk if AEW had interest to begin with

 

[Alexa]

The better question should be is anyone loyal to NWA, lol?

All the late-2000s/early-2010s WWE guys who wouldn't get employed anywhere else. Including Tyrus

Honestly, like I been telling Chris about Adonis, he could leave there and join NOAH in GLG and be a star

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Chris Masters really never got a fair go of it on the big stage after Carlito betrayed him tbh, even in his Impact run he quit because they only wanted him as an enforcer for Eli Drake
