What about D'Angelo?

[NightShiftLoser]

Seems like we found out what's up with D'Angelo.

He thrust himself into a last minute match for Turning Point, aligning with Hernandez and Matt Morgan, the two fastest rising guys in the company. They're simply taking his backstage issues, and putting them on-screen. He's working against the older guys, trying to get over, and is hoping his work with the two big men will help.

This is his last chance to prove me wrong, and give himself some depth. He's being handed the ball, he needs to run with it.

I like D'Angelo in TNA, they are deffinently using him better then WWE was. His promos are some of the best I have heard in a couple years and it really is a breath of fresh air. Does he remind anyone else of The Godfather with this whole pimp thing he is doing. I couldnt help but notice him saying pimp after or in everything he said tonight. Regardless of that I like him a lot and my tune for TNA is begining to change because of him and others stepping up their games.

[It's Damn Real!]

Not sure how I feel exactly about him being the "third man" in the Morgan/Hernandez v. ECW Old Guard (Rhino & Team 3D), but I do appreciate the face push they're giving him, considering the feud with Suicide is over.

I chuckled in his promo when he said the reason he wears sunglasses when he talks to everyone is because the future of TNA is so bright, and I like his character, but does he really fit this particular feud well? I'm really not sure, to be honest.

Thoughts?

He gave Brother Ray a black eye, which means I went from hating this guy, to loving him in a matter of seconds!

I like his character, he cut some good promos on iMPACT! and I like that he is getting a good face push. I hope he doesn't screw himself over. Personally, i'd like to see him feud with Joe. They'd have some good matches.

Pope would look good with gold. I'd say have Amazing Red drop the X-Division title to Homicide, which seems inevitable anyway, and then have a Pope-Homicide feud over the title. With that said, i definitely don't want Red buried, he's one of my favourite guys on TNA, but Pope is destined to be a success as a face, and Homicide is drawing some heat atm.

Pope just signed a new deal with TNA and he was wasted potential by the WWE and TNA have benefited. He has a unique charachter and has charisma and can work in the X Division as well as compete for the World Title.

D'angelo Dinero looks like he has a promising future in TNA. Expect him to win the X Division title because he has been introduced into it and has performed very well.

I think he fits as well as Morgan and Hernandez. The theme is exactly what Rhino's been saying, New Guys being given breaks and emphasis at the expense of the Old Veterans who are being phased out.

Pope's future is bright. Rhino's, not so much. So I think it works.

[NightShiftLoser]

Well damn. I'm not sure how to judge his performance tonight. At the start of the match, he wasn't working well, barely landing shots with a garbage pail lid. Then he got it together, and landed a few nice shots, and was in a race to one-up his partners in speed and athleticism.

I like this from him. It's making me ignore that there's no character, and letting me watch his matches for face value. He'll need a character eventually, but for now, this is good to see.
