Vince didn't have any money in The Scorpion King or the Rundown.

We've heard so many stories from guys who leave WWE and say it was so hard to take outside projects, let's not pretend TNA is any shittier here.

Did Vince try to get money from those? That's a sincere question.

To be fair to Twitch that's probably so if a streamer decides to go on a racist rant or something they can just cut them free with no legal issues whatsoever.

Then again Vince dropped an N-bomb in the mid aughts so who knows

Even the Vince n-bomb, horrid as it was, was played for a laugh in terms of being acknowledged as being wildly inappropriate. This is just a dude straight up announcing himself as a Nazi out of character for no reason. Just, yep, he's a Nazi.

It's the same thing as the "but I have black friends so I can't be racist" defense. All it means is they think they've found one of the good ones so clearly they can't be labeled as negatively as all the other racists/nazis

Notice how Russo got involved with the company too, despite all the previous abhorrent poo poo he said about Mexican wrestling. His opinion on it hasn't changed, he just found a way to be paid by one of those companies so clearly this one in particular is good in his opinion which makes it okay, see he's not really that bad now right guys

I feel like raising a family is a little more intense than a dude you just have beers with is all I'm saying.

As someone who watches TNA more regularly than he'd like to admit, it's really not. They basically have Josh Mathews doing a low-rent Heel Cole gimmick while also being "spiritual advisor" to Matt Sydal, and Jimmy Jacobs managing (good!) Kongo Kong (:geno:)

Relative "get" for IMPACT at this stage of the game

https://twitter.com/joeshendry/status/1000076821780746247

I loving love Joe Hendry but I really feel like there's no way you'll get the full effect on anything other than the indies. I know that says he's bringing the custom entrances but that doesn't really work unless it's an actual parody of something, and I don't see Impact doing that.

I also don't get Indy darlings signing with Impact in 2018, but hey. Good luck to him.

Oh and if Impact doesn't immediately make him a top face they're loving clueless. I have literally no idea why WCPW/Defiant ever turned him heel (and that carried over to ICW apparently?) The dude's skillset is just so much better suited to being a face. I'm not saying he's a bad heel but by turning him you neuter the musical stuff, which is both fantastic and sets him apart.

Non-exclusive pay per appearance deals is what they offer these days.

WWE, WWN and MLW seem to be no goes I think. Maybe ROH too but Austin Aries seemingly said gently caress it and went anyway.

Oh drat, guess that'll work for Joe then.

I still maintain they should make him top face (I'm assuming Penta won't stick around).

I had no idea who Joe Hendry was so I dug up a WCPW title match against Jack Swagger.

It was not good. Plodding 2010 era WWE style match that never really got out of 1st gear and other than some desperate submission escapes, no real drama.

Joe won with what the announcers optimistically called a double Hendry Lock. It looked like a really lovely boston crab. Swagger tapped from embarrassment.

That's the worst Hendry work I've ever seen. He's usually significantly better. He's NOT great in ring but he's at least okay, has a great look, and is charismatic as gently caress.

Oh and btw the deal with the Hendry Lock is he stole it from Kurt after they feuded (Hendry ultimately went over IIRC but lost the first encounter which led to the heel turn.. I think?) so it's just a renamed ankle lock but for some loving reason he decided to do a double ankle lock to finish Swagger which is a dumb idea that was never going to look good.

Joe is also only 30 (gently caress, he's younger than me aaaa [albeit only by 6 months or so]) so he definitely is like, just entering his prime and AFAIK he got a lot better in ring the past couple years to the point that he was completely viable as a top indy guy all factors considered, no matter how low level the indy, and he continues to get booked by higher level promotions as well. He challenged for the ROH TV Title last week according to Wikipedia! Though I probably shouldn't speak with too much authority as I haven't seen him wrestle a ton.
