He's a solid worker who's gotten a chance to shine since leaving WWE. But don't expect him in TNA long term right now since he isn't under contract. According to WWNlive (a company which books Trent and has become his home base since he left WWE) he's on a per appearance deal with TNA and him showing up on Dest X won't get in the way of his ongoing work with WWNLive and its promotions.

Great to see him on TV again though, not so high on the name but I like the performer.

Trent Barretta is an awesome talent that WWE didnt even bother to use I hope TNA push him to the main event scene and show WWE what they missed out on

He's not under TNA contract. How would they then push him to the moon? Also Trent is good but no way is he face of the company/top level talent in a company of TNA's scale.

I've been a growing fan of Trent? over these past few months. He's done a lot of more stuff than I expected since his release. BOSJ, PWG, TNA. I'm happy for him.

Does nothing for me, honestly, and I doubt it does anything for the X DIvision.

honestly it's going to be manik's deal, i just have no idea how they book a decent run for the guy. Sanjay is in the RoH tourney, so he wont win, and this dude is on a pay per appearance deal.

Looking like it's gonna be KennyKing back in the title picture (he will job)

He's a fine worker and I'm happy to see him there, and they get big-time brownie points for not propping him up like "omg huge deal! Trent Baretta!" like they have with so many others who weren't (Chavo). But he should definitely be used as a "every now and then guy", at least for the moment. In other words, they can't let him win the title. (No spoilers please) TNA really has to get the stigma of "We'll treat any ex-WWE guy like a huge star!" off of them.

Has WWE ever propped up a jobber like Baretta as if he was a huge deal? Chavo is lame, but he does have a decent resume in WWE/WCW before he came over at least.

Who is the lamest WWE guy that TNA has pushed?

I don't know, I just think that during a time where TNA are struggling to afford the costs of putting on shows, I'm not really sure why they need to be hiring a guy like him. He's a good worker, but TNA have plenty of better ones that need something to do.

Like who? And he is on a pay per appearance, he isn't under contract.
