That was bad and Gaburick/Dixie pretty much let him do it because all Dixie cared was Josh plugging her twitter account and ignore old TNA social media. If Josh tries to troll again like in the Dixie Era he will get fired on the spot.
Im expecting Garrett Kidney to be the VP of Digital Content once Joshs contract runs out, Josh will probably go to ROH to work together with Madison.
Why would ROH waste money on the worst announcer ever? Why would they hire a toxic shithead? Never said to bring him as an announcer, they could put him to work backstage, at least as a graphic designer and help improving ROH posters. Josh comes off like the kind of guy who will be a company man when he's dealing with people who know it matters and who will be a relentless shithead when he can get away with it. Dixie era TNA was such a shitshow that sucking up to the boss clearly mattered more than doing a good job, and as long as he was in with Dixie, he was free to do whatever he damn well pleased. The fact that in the changeover and subsequent reshufflings and attempts to reorganize, Josh has been one of the few backstage constants and managed to survive every change of the guard, every attempt at new management, every purge and new start, tells me he has a talent for getting in with management and staying there. It's no coincidence he cut down on all of his nonsense in the time before the transfer and has been on his best behavior ever since. I also think if TNA does ever cut him he's going to immediately be off of his best behavior and his twitter will be a sight to behold. Gaburick gave him a 7 year contract(means expires in 2021), his role was pretty much as the Borash of IW, but once Garrett Kidney got hired he lost some power, Garrett is expected to take over all Digital Content once Josh contract expires imo. Also remember that there was the plan of moving Josh backstage but JB went to WWE and those plans were nixed.
But yeah Josh behavior has been decent since Callis took over, because he knows that Callis could fire him if he shows toxic behavior(Hania, Patron, Aries)
I was just thinking "well although the company is a turgid morgue at least they've stopped the grandiose statements. It's been ages since someone has made a Dixie style claim" Well....good one Josh. He put over Kevin Sullivan who has done a hell of a job in the production aspect, I remember in TNA when their posters/graphics were stuff like this.
Or lazy work like this

He brings nothing of substance, he’s just a shithead.

But yeah Josh behavior has been decent since Callis took over, because he knows that Callis could fire him if he shows toxic behavior(Hania, Patron, Aries) Sure, but there's always ways out of contracts and TNA went through so many revisions and whole regimes in the span of like a year that saw them trying every and anyone. The fact Josh is where he is speaks to him ingraining himself with new management at least to enough of a degree to hold onto his place in the midst of everyone being cycled out. The fact they have him doing so much when most people couldn't even stay through the changes, I think, speaks to him sucking up and getting in with the new guard enough that when 2021 rolls around he's still going to be right there.

Yeah, none of his asshole tendencys were on display in the WWE because if he tried half of what he did under Dixie there Vince would have Brock Lesnar'd him out of the company. so I wouldn't be surprised if he works exactly how little he needs to, to stay hired. He will absolutely be the type of guy to start talking about how shitty TNA was after he leaves.

He knows where a lot of bodies are buried and he seems like the type who will have Sean Oliver on speedial if the day ever comes he gets let go...thats the fun/scary part

I greatly enjoyed watching Josh try to do a million things on Wrestlemania week. He was the host of their twitch stream like 15 hours a day, and it was real interesting to see how involved he was in things. Everything from coordinating talent, putting the stream together, to the actual backstage work was on display. It definitely seemed like he took over a lot of the responsibility Borash had before he left for WWE.

Think he is where he is right now because he has a massive contract and because he knows how to adjust to the situation as in the way of knowing that he's absolutely not irreplaceable. Kinda like more modest Vince Russo in a way. Though the latter's prolly f***ing useless when it comes to anything else than writing something to happen on the show, Josh can at least keep up with the technology, visuals and shit like that and do the passable 5,5-6/10 job on it.

Smarmy, nothing his fault, in fact he told them not to do X, and the bad stuff on twitter etc was just working the marks.
