Happy to see him back, the boy is talented as f***. Some of the stuff he does is unreal ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) And yet I've never seen him do anything this interesting. Clearly I watch his TNA stuff at the wrong times.

I'm glad to see him back and all, but it's a shame he never brought the golden wings he wore in Ring Ka King.

I do like the way that TNA's handling the X-division at the moment. It clearly needed some fresh blood, and by having Aries forfeit the title, they can bring in new or returning talent (even if it's just for a couple of weeks for the tourney) and make it look as if winning the title is something all of the X-division style wrestlers out there are hungry for. And they can refresh the entire division on an annual basis if needs be, thanks to "option C". It really feels as if they're actually thinking further ahead than the next PPV now. Yeah, I remember people saying this the LAST time they tried to "freshen up" the division with new or returning talent, most of whom never wound up getting used on a regular basis. This is TNA we're talking about here. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... to be fair, early on they DID use guys fairly consistently. I think not being able to get Lowki and Jack Evans full time kind of bugged them, but for a good few months Sorenson, Kash, and Aries were heavily involved (Kendrick and Shelly were used a bit as well), but then injuries and people leaving put a kabosh. Judging by reactions from the wrestlers involved on Thursday though, they got a lot of great feed back.

I'm just gonna say this: Tony Nese left TNA, a nationally broadcast company with running house shows and PPV, for AN indy date, because it was better for his career. If that's not an indication of where TNA prioritizes the X guys, I don't know what is.

He had a nice body but just wasn't terribly interesting so was never going to be a major player in TNA and wouldn't have been a major force even when the X-division was the heart of the company. Quite why they signed him in the first place is a mystery to me, it's like they signed him because the guys they wanted were already taken.

Yea he probably should have just not been signed. He was like the 7th wheel for a division that only has the time to feature about 4 guys at a time. There was a stretch before Sorensen got injured that Aries/Ion/Sorensen/Kash were getting regular screen time and builds to PPV matches, Nese just didnt have a spot in that at all.

Nese is a lot better than his sporadic TNA stuff shows. I mean what little of his NE stuff I have seen blows away his TNA stuff. He was just never given the chance Ion or Aries got to show character or anything.

Like Ric said, I dont really think its fair to call him bland, since he never got a chance to show anything. Ive never seen any of Nese's work from outside of TNA, but I really enjoyed the uh... 2 matches of his that I can remember. I thought he was awesome in the X Division qualifier with Sorensen and Evans.

He's young enough where he can always come back.

I liked his promo from last week. The new look is going to take some time getting used to, but his match was quite impressive. I hope he wins the tourney.

Good to see him back. Great moveset and music, dunno about the bald look though.
Also, I'd like to see Petey back, but without Steiner about, it'd be kinda saddening.
