Damien Sandown debuted for TNA last night under the new name "Aron Rex". He cut a worked shoot program that focused on "seizing opportunities".
TNA tried to sell it as some controversial shoot promo, but it was pretty tame and only vaguely alluded to WWE.
When it Reigns, it bores.

Agreed, it could have been way more shoot-tastic than it was (and I don't mean that as a bad thing necessarily, but just that it definitely
wasn't a "pipe bomb" type of promo).
And I thought it was a solid debut and get why they brought him in as a babyface, but I would love to see him with a heel Damien Sandow type of
gimmick instead of a face "pissed off former WWE employee out to prove himself" gimmick.

I'm still loving the Hardyz storyline (and am still shocked that they could do ANYTHING together at this point that would be this entertaining
since they've pretty much done every possible storyline they could do). I just love the dynamic of crazy ass Matt with stoic, long-suffering
Jeff but having Jeff now "broken" will be interesting to see where they go with it. I assume this will all eventually lead to them reuniting and
being a team for real but hopefully they slow-burn the hell out of it.
Sandow/Rex seems to be the next immediate challenger for Lashley (possibly the least-deserving multi-champion) so we'll see where that goes as
well.

I liked Sandow in WWE as much as anyone else here but there was nothing about his in-ring performance that screamed out that he should be hot-shotted
to the title scene of any company a couple weeks after joining them. Just because he's ex-WWE doesn't mean anything special. At least go
through the motions of having him work his way through some matches with Storm, EC3, Broken Matt, etc. before feeding him to Lashley for fucks sake.
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

Yeah, that's kinda my concern as well. Like, he's gonna wrestle Lashley next week and lose and then be curtain-jerking by Bound For
Glory. Which would be a very TNA way to handle it.

Lashley's likely holding it till BFG and as a monster heel, he needs to dominate somebody in one of his last Title defences. Might aswell feed
him somebody who can take it and then build him up.
Broken Matt keeps being awesome.

The Hardys continue to be entertaining and with them about to start a feud with Decay, I'm hoping that they just continue to push the craziness.
