Drew Galloway's heel turn in evolve was all about his resentment of their relationship with WWE and that as an indie wrestler he wanted to be an independent man who could make something of himself without spending the rest of his career begging for another shot in WWE. He usually expresses this opinion after cheapshotting Johnny Gargano, the face of EVOLVE and its relationship with WWE.

Tonight during their match EC3 ran in and laid out Johnny Gargano. He talked about how he spent some time "up north" and buried the dumb reality show NXT he was on. He said it was only after he was free from "stamford, up north, the king of kings, whatever you want to call it" that he was able to flourish as an independent pro wrestler (the implication here being that TNA is just another indie fed) and there were a lot more burials of WWE and developmental for heat. TBQH the whole thing went a little too long for my tastes but it set up two guys who have signed a WWE contract against the TNA world champion and their undefeated golden boy so WWE's feeder indie fed is now set up as equal to TNA, and eventually superior when they win the feud lol

Anything that clowns TNA is good by me and Drew owns IMO.

I want this, because then we'd get Dixie trying to make a tweet about how they had a handshake deal but the tweet will become an email to Donald Trump who will fight Vince next WM, protecting Dixie's honor.

Well they started as an undefeated streak, but they moved it to never been pinned or submitted after he lost by DQ and they kept it that way until the Bennett match.

Yeah, every Barrett comment so far on his future leaves the door for a wrestling return open eventually but stresses that he wants to pursue other stuff currently. Hoping he gets a shot at movies

I mean, I don't think he has much of a future in Hollywood but he could probably go back to the UK and do a solid job of playing "big badguy enforcer" for basically the rest of time in lovely British crime dramas and action movies.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I know this is a bad decision, and I am at best wasting my money, and at worst enabling Dixie Carter, but I kinda want a TNA T-Shirt, and am planning on buying one from their website. Preferably from a wrestler that doesn't wrestle there anymore.

Can anyone here a) try to talk me out of it, and b) tell me what they, (shoptna.com), are like in regards to international shipping etc.

You're implying that TNA had the money to reshoot the pictures of those shirts. I am not convinced they even can afford to bust one of each shirt out of the wrapper for a photo shoot. I am not convinced they can pay the photographer.

Maybe if they can provide a disposable camera for him. The old kind with the little clicking wheel to advance the film, that feels really hollow on the inside.
