He's just now reached double digits in matches, he's still a greenhorn

TK makes excuses about not being able to use a lot of his ridiculously stacked roster, including basically the entire Women’s Division, on TV consistently because “not enough time.”
But then the stuff he DOES seem to think deserves TV time instead has been, questionable, lately.

This dude is comparable in size to Brock but Brock looks way bigger. It’s bizarre. Brock is just one-of-a-kind as far as looks. He looks jacked as hell, but he also looks as agile as he is (or at least, as agile as he was in his prime), while also having a face that looks terrifying when he wants it to. If you were to describe Parker on paper, he'd look exactly like Brock, but the thing that makes Brock really stand out is just unique. That's no knock against Parker, though. He's perfectly good for his experience level and he's still huge enough that he doesn't need to be the most terrifying man on the planet to be intimidating.

Knowing TK, Parker probably signed a 10 year contract with a 2 option to extend it. Congrats, or something.

Ok so, I'm just gonna let out a little vent about the Trustbusters here since a lot of criticism about them seems to have been aimed here
Ari is the brains with the money to throw around
Parker is the large, impressionable meathead that it's probably easy to pay the services of for muscle
Slim J is the veteran traveled high flyer, and an idiot, give him some money, he'll be your lackey
Sonny is a hybrid striker, and unlike anyone else
He's built up a team where each wrestler fulfills a need, especially for I dont know... Trios belts
Idk what Parker is gonna be, but this is TK's first signing since Claudio so he hasn't in awhile, and this is one to sure up for the future. He's 23, he's not even done realistically growing yet, and he has 10 matches and 8 months training as a wrestler... this is the perfect place to put him, and he already stands out, so I want to see what he can develop into, much like Satnam. They're not really high on the card, but they're protected for being the hosses they are, it makes sense to me.
Maybe Parker won't develop into something, but he's come a pretty long way even from his Harland stint, I think it's a decent bet, and The Trustbusters are built of a lot of good workers around him to help that out

Parker Boudreaux? Didn't she just return to WWE with her husband Killer Kross?

All of them are rejects, not given a proper chance or no chance at all. Here are the Trustbusters: Thing is, that is a tough sell on tv when all you see is a bunch of wrestlers with no group aesthetic. A theme has to develop into a story, especially when it's not obviously gimmicky.

I'll say this, I'm not surprised they took a chance on Parker but I'm shocked he straight up got the All Elite graphic and not just a tier deal

I suggest that Parker Bourdreaux's newest gimmick should be a Board Game Magnate.

I would grow out his hair or something. He needs to have his own look; Brock comparisons won't do him any favors

He seems alright, with some shitty looking tats. But who is the dude with him and Davari? He looks so lame.

Slim J is a 20 year veteran, very innovative high flyer that hasn't really gotten any breaks since the very early days of TNA He was doing the dumbass white rapper gimmick long before like... anyone else He's very crisp in ring and sells really well, I died when he was thrown out of the ring on Rampage and essentially family guy poses

Not a good look to me.

Not a good look to me. I'm thinking eventually they find some gear synergy, cause Ari wants everyone to look the part, but right now they're like, just forming in the pot so to speak, so that possible gear probably isn't even ready yet

I really can't at all claim to give a shit about this stable. Not really anything against anyone in it but it just seems like a weak concept throwing together a bunch of people who don't fit together for no real reason.
Also it's very confusing to me that the actual leader of the group hasn't gotten the All Elite graphic yet. Not that I think Daivari's really someone you desperately need to sign - like, he's solid, but they have plenty of people like that and after how terribly unenthused people've been by Tony Nese I don't really see why you'd bring in someone coming from similar circumstances yet less good - but it just contributes to the whole, "Why is this group of goobers suddenly consistently getting screentime?" feel of this.

About Slim J: I think there's a contest between promoters to see who can hire the most "left field" legacy talent.
Court Bauer: "I just booked Savio Vega! Bet you can't get stranger than that!"
Billy Corgan: "Savio? Please! I have Sal Rinuaro!"
Brett Lauderdale: "Get ready for the Grim Reefer come back tour."
TK: "Slim J is All Elite. Boom. I win."
Triple H: "Steph! Get Quiet Storm on the phone!"

I think Parker has potential someday. But the davari and the guy that constantly grabbed his crotch on an old weekly ppv show in 02 and got laughed out of the building are below dark level talents

Are we just kind of speed-running shitting on things? He's been around for like 12 seconds, give it a moment.
