Okay so I understand that him and Kenny Omega are close which is why he's part of his act and he's a valuable asset to the Impact partnership, but they really need to reign back on him, he's making some of Kenny's segments a complete chore to get through. It's like the using a worker too much note on EWR, he needs to really draw back a little and let Omega do more promo work, because half the time it feels like Kenny's just his assigned client, and it's not like Brock and Heyman where Brock can't cut a promo, Omega's great when he does speak, I just wish it wasn't 90% Callis boring the hell out of me between then.

I love Callis and the work he does. He's an old school carny heel, who is clearly in it to try and make himself famous. Basically always trying to say he's in control and calls all the shots.
It makes it all the more satisfying when he gets his ass kicked.

Its a fine line between good heeling and go away heeling. Don walks this line like a tight rope. Some weeks I feel he adds to the product... last night when he shouted "69 Me Kenny" that was one of the most cringe worthy things said in wrestling in a while.

I like Callis (quite a bit actually, was watching through some 1998 Raws awhile back and the Jackyl quickly became one of my favorite parts of the show each week), though that promo wasn't good. The 69 bit was amusing but the rest was just weird rambling nonsense.

Callis is such a smarmy piece of shit that I want to see get his ass kicked so badly.

Couldn't agree less.
His weaselly heel bullshit is music to my ears.

Nah, he's great. I hope they lean in to him becoming the Palpatine to Kenny's Vader.

I wanna reclarify that it's not that I don't like Don in general, I liked him as the Jackyl and Cyrus, found his commentary not so bad in Impact, I even don't mind him being associated with Kenny as a manager. I'm just bored of him taking up so much promo time when Kenny can talk for himself just fine, being a hype man is one thing, but he just keeps going on and on, it makes Kenny seem second fiddle at times.

I've been a fan since he was a manager in WWE/ECW and love the whole "20+ year plan" angle they've been running with really makes this FEEL grandiose evil plan

I think Omega needs Callis because he can't cut a believable promo by himself. Just my opinion.

I can't stand the man. Never have been able to stand him, and I wish he'd stay in TNA where I don't have to hear his voice.

I couldn't stand him in the last 12-18 months of ECW when he was taking up so much TV/PPV time and was basically the top heel in the company. I'm still not a fan of him these days either but "69 me Don!" is one of the funniest moments of recent times.
In fact, I never even realized until just now that Callis today is basically a re-do of Cyrus in ECW. He's an antagonist towards ECW/AEW, operating on behalf of an outside force (TNN/Impact) with his hand-picked guys (Rhino/Corino/Tajiri, Omega/Gallows/Anderson).

Kenny’s a good promo in my opinion, but he has issues coming across as serious. Callis really helps with that.

I really didn't like him at first but he's become more and more like a GTA antagonist and I love how much I hate him now
