There's literally no reason for WWE to want Abyss. He's not good in the ring, he's old, he's not in good shape, they can't/won't use his history of tacks/glass/barbed wire etc to get him over as a monster, there are no dream matches he's a part of, and he doesn't have either the name recognition from the casual fans or the indy cred from the smart fans. There's literally no feud they could put him in that wouldn't be better with Braun Strowman instead (and I really don't like Strowman very much).

Dat roster expansion

There's about one wrestler's worth of in-ring talent and one wrestler's worth of promo talent between all 5 of those.

WWE had the Divas butterfly belt, now TNA is going to have the X Division owl belt.

That electrified cage match was probably worse than Sting/Hardy too, although it's at least funny

That was Lockdown 07 (and debatably not the worst match on that card either).

Yeah I saw one flier that advertised WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi. Don't think you can use the WWE brand to advertise your show.

You can't, legally, but it's not worth the WWE lawyers' time to do anything more than send out a form cease and desist letter to some of the many indies that do it.

Remember when Hulk Hogan gave Abyss his WWE Hall of Fame ring?

And then later Abyss cut a promo where he basically said "I don't need this ring any more because I am strong without it". Before a match where the winner would get the ring.

They should call the owl lwO. Then it can feud with the lWo.

My bet is never. But! He'll hand pick somebody who definitely shouldn't be the guy and make him long term champion.

That only leaves him with about 95% of TNA's roster to chose from.

God look at him, he really looks like he doesn't want to be there

Looks like he's plotting to murder Grado. Can't say I blame him.
