And out comes Grace. One of the main reasons I'm watching right now lol
More of a TNA guy myself as well. Cheers!
TNA's great! Might actually be my favourite wrestling show these days lol.
And I know she won't win this but I really hope Grace does well here. So far so good I think.
I live relatively close to Windsor so it’s kind of my home promotion, at least whenever they’re in town. Already have tickets to Sacrifice in March.
Grace had a good showing and a memorable elimination, so that’s about as good as we could have hoped for I think.
Nice! I'm just north of the GTA. There's a bunch of us Canucks here on Kbin. You, me, Geek, Cupcake.
Agreed. She looked great. And commentary did a good job of making her seem like a big deal.
Tellum, I feel that I must apologise for previously implying you were a Yankee.
Sorry about that old chap.
Totally understandable. Us 'Nucks and 'Yanks often look and sound the same.
Happy to be part of the Canuck contingent!
Commentary did a great job of selling Grace’s importance and that’s almost better than her actual showing in the ring. Very pleased with her performance and happy to see TNA/WWE being chummy. I feel like Scott D’Amore is very well respected in the industry and is arguably the best booker right now solely given what he’s working with compared to others. HBK is probably second, just due to getting so much out of raw talent.
I agree about D'amore. I've said it in a few threads--the guy deserves to be Booker of the year or at the very least in the damn conversation.
And it's almost looking like TNA/WWE might have a partnership similar to AEW/NJPW. Probably won't be doing any joint PPV's soon but at least swapping talent here and there.
Honestly the wrestling world just works better when wrestlers can pop in here and there for a random match or three.
I saw it was spoiled, and I still was happy about it, she works hard and took a lot of flack for the voice change from the steroids, but she's an excellent performer, I hope WWE gives her a look after this when her contract is up, assuming she wants to move.
I must have missed the voice change stuff (thankfully) but my impression was that she’s always gotten flack for being a mark for herself. However, the fact that she’s married to Gresham makes me wonder whether she’s just catching that by proxy. Great performer and definitely due a serious look from WWE when//if she wants to test the waters.
A lot of the voice change flak was Reddit and Twitter cause she went from Thicc Mama Pump to a bodybuilder so they felt they couldn't goon over her as much anymore cause she looks less 'woman-like'. I.E. Nothing worth paying much attention to.
That being said she's had the odd dumb-ass take or 11 on Twitter over the years for sure (nothing 'cancel-able' just weird/shit takes and arguments lol) but some wrestlers are just fucking stupid i don't know what to tell you.
She didn't look out of place at all in this match. But as a TNA guy I'd hate to see her leave...even though it's be better for her bank account lol.
