Curious as to what people think about this idea. Please explain your decision.
I'd have to vote yay on this one.
I like his look, he has a good story, he feels fresh - which, in TNA, is rare these days... he feels legitimate, something that has made Lashley feel like a superstar. Makes for a potentially great feud between the two. His promos... won't be setting the world on fire or winning any awards, but they feel real - I like that. So tired of every promo feeling like guys just reading lines. Josh just feels like he's talking to his opponent or the audience.
I hope they do it. It would be wasted potential not to.

They could, and probably have, done worse, though I figure if they are going to put a guy in that position, maybe Eli Drake.

Well he's already taking steroids so he'll fit right in TNA Watching EC3, Barnett looks like the least likely steroid taker ever. Maybe that's his body post-steroid use. But the OP went overboard with his question. Instead of asking if he should be Champ or not, he should ask if Barnett is any good? The response is: maybe. His match on Impact was horrible. But he is different, he doesn't work like anybody you would see anywhere. So that's a plus. If they intend to keep him, they should assign to him a guy that can work to polish him.

More I think about it, not a great idea. I think Magnus' run set the bar so f***ing low, or nothing reigns like Drew, that at this point I just think, "Stomper, yeah, why not, f***ing Cheex, go for it"

Nay, it would be a real life version of the "Vince Russo wanted to put the belt on Tank Abbott"

But him being the TNA world champion I'll pass as even though I've been a fan of him as a MMA fighter all the matches he had in Japan were terrible as they were those boring faux MMA style matches. So I have my doubts that he could pull off a good match.

Only tangentially related, but holy shit, do I not miss Hernandez.

Wow that bad Which is a shame because for guy Barnett who has always gone on about his undying love for pro wrestling he should better not to f*** up like that.

He is known just as much for getting suspended for roids as he is for being the youngest HW champ in UFC Hell, he is currently suspended right now

What the f*** is a guy who can't possibly have been training long doing using a release powerbomb, anyway? That's dangerous as all hell.

I saw that and I read it as Josh Bennett. I was like oh god it's the demon seed of Josh Matthews and Mike "I Love Lucky Charms For Breakfast" Bennett.
