From their AMA: Granted, that was a year ago, but it doesn't look like they've had any US matches since then. Venomous fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Feb 4, 2017 |

Drug convictions for trafficking restrict him from entrance in the UK. He can leave the US, but not to there.

Tato posted:Idol Stevens/Damien Sandow/Aron Rex is always saying it's time for him to show the "real him" and then just does another impersonation of some other past wrestler. Perhaps they'll reveal there is no "real" Aron Rex and he's a sociopath with split personalities I remember a children's book by Louis Sachar where one of the kids was revealed to be a dead rat wearing like 50 coats Aron Rex is a dead rat

I loved the annual TNA tradition where Jeff would get randomly beat down and sell an injury angle, which conveniently always happened right before TNA's UK tour.

Combined with the annual tradition of using Jeff as the biggest name to sell tickets for the UK shows knowing full well that he can't go and him not being there would piss people off.

http://vulturehound.co.uk/2017/02/news-report-pro-wrestling-noah-announce-alliance-with-tna-impact-wrestling/ TNA has formed a working relationship with Pro Wrestling NOAH. They're both owned by multinational conglomerates that seem like they're using the companies as feeders to their bigger projects and not allow said organizations to grow beyond their standing now. How is this NOT a perfect deal?

I can't wait to add "replaced Rockstar Spud as Aron Rex's valet" to "dressed up as Kato from Green Hornet", "made Daivari angry by losing", and "got pinned by Kevin Nash in a 2-on-1 handicap match" in future discussions about what TNA did with the top stars in Japan.

There are top TNA executives have to take 50% pay cuts. Lagana got out before that: https://twitter.com/Lagana/status/829360400537788416 https://twitter.com/Lagana/status/829361864974884864

Its really remarkable how bad a gimmick Aron Rex has. I'm pretty sure I'm buying the shoot interview or listening to the podcast where he explains this gimmick because I just need to try and understand what he thinks is happening here.

Its the kind of thing would have been a great heat magnet 20 years ago that has 0 resonance nowadays. I mean people are like "ugh, Aron Rex" but no one's like "Ugh, Aron Rex, I totally bought tickets to watch Davey Richards cripple him"

Goldust was probably the last instance of that kind of gimmick actually working fairly well, right? Anyone trying that gimmick in 2017 though - lol.

Aron Rex is so much better than Black Reign despite being thrust into a bunch of matches with a stupid round system.

Dustin Rhodes at his peak ('92-'95, and his last run with Cody) had 10x the in-ring ability of Sandow, but Black Reign was not his peak.

Goldust had an awesome run with Cody against the Shield, which almost made up for the garbage he did in the Attitude Era and TNA. Dude was a way better wrestler in 2013-14 than he was in the 90s. Not even Mizdow reached those heights, and Aron Rex will be lucky to hit even '96 Goldust levels of notoriety. Benne fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Feb 9, 2017 |
