The whole point of a lot of the western excursions the Japanese wrestlers get sent on is to learn gimmicks and the like since it’s not as prevalent in Japan. So a lot of the foreign guys when they’re starting out get weird or dumb gimmicks for a while.

I want Joe to challenge Okada for the Continental Crown just hear Joe say in a promo, “if you step in the ring with me, I’ll turn you back into my little sidekick.”

@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849

Yes!

Not only did Okada insist on returning to TNA as part of his NJPW Farewell Tour, he straight up paid respect to the promotion and their fans during his goodbye despite how embarrassing his run during excursion was there. I genuinely think he was still grateful for what he learned there, even if it was what he DIDN'T want to be during his time in the business. The dude is a class act, through and through.

Remember that scene where Mr. Burns wanted to hire Frank Grimes to be his executive vice president, but then when Grimes is finally hired by the power plant, Burns had already moved on to wanting to hire a heroic dog for the spot, forgetting about Grimes, and just sticking him “somewhere” in the plant? That is every wrestling executive ever.

Kingston in DCC got wasted when the new management came in, and they just got lost. I hardly see his second run as a waste. That was TNA in its rebuilding stage, he was better off still working elsewhere at the same time like evolve etc

Their time together in TNA is when the Bucks and Okada became friends, leading to the Bucks in NJPW and Okada later joining AEW.

Eddie Kingston had good run in TNA..idk why put him into this list.. ermmm.. i also love aew but they wasted their talent just liked Jeff hardy,matt hardy, Allie the bunny, Christopher Daniel (curry man),

I don't like AEW's product, but i like that they made wwe improve it's product considerably, now that wrestling is so good

Thank you for bringing these repressed memories back. Especially the Kato from Green Hornet one. Damn you, now the Green Hornet movie is back in my memory.

If Impact Wrestling had signed Jon Moxley there is a high potential that Moxley would be the only wrestler in History to hold the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, the AEW World Championship, the WWE Championship and the Impact World Championship, but then The Shield may not have happened. Also Kazuchika Okada and Switchblade Jay White were wasted by Impact Wrestling. Kazuchika Okada was made to look like a Jobber and Switchblade Jay White was only brought in to bring Chris Bey and Ace Austin into Bullet Club so as Impact could say they have a Bullet Club in their wrestling promotion too.

you don't know what you're talking about dude

It’s almost as if TNA knew that an aging Kingston is better on the mic than wrestling. It’s also kind of a bold statement to say TNA wasted the Bucks when it’s been said by multiple people that they refused to take advice or criticisms from the vets on the roster. Seems more like they wasted TNA’s time.

It is weird to me that Lance Archer was never a bigger star than he was -- in TNA, or anywhere else. Good look/size, good ring work, good character work, always comes across as a real good guy irl. The dude's 47 years old so I can't hold it too hard against AEW for not pushing him harder, but man, he's always gonna be one of my "what if" guys.

This video jumped the shark immediately. Pretending AEW didn't completely fail to do anything with Colt Cabana is stooge shit.

The only one I disagree with on this list is Mox. He had only one match which was a dark match and didn't make a difference in my opinion but to me, Nese and Kingston were screwed by TNA creative

yo this list is BS might want to try again

I clearly remember how I catched the x-division title, sure
