Drew Galloway, Impact Wrestling Part Ways

Cena is no Bruno & Cole is no Solie
He has a deal with EVOLVE/WWN, with an active schedule in the UK. TNA probably did not want to pay him the money he was looking for. Best to part ways

Well damn I guess the new regime are pretty cheap. Cause the Hardys are expected to leave as well.
You are talking about a guy in his prime with a good physique that can talk and a really great worker. I think Drew was great for TNA and he seemed to like it there. Drew started to being shown less around the time the TNA business seemed to go south with the management trouble. And in many ways, it was a good decision for him go away when this thing was going down. And because of that people will miss him less. But they forgot what he meant for TNA for some time.
Also does TNA really have the luxury to lose a guy of this caliber going forward with such a weak babyface line-up(cause I think Drew is a stellar babyface and they could have turned him). Who are the faces? Eddy Edwards? lol EC3 is a terrible face. Moose? lol
After loosing Roode, AJ, Joe, at least TNA had Drew, EC3 and Eli Drake to hold the forth. Now they are down to two. That's not good business going forward.

I'm indifferent towards Hardys leaving.
I don't want to see TNA centered around Hardys anymore. But I think that at the end, TNA loses more due to absence of Hardys.
Hardys won't be leaving until they get in WWE. That's where their ultimate goal lies. But TNA has put too much of effort in them and if they leave, Hardys won't lose anything but TNA will lose significantly.

The problem was that drew really didn't want to give up is booking with icw and this was the main problem with negotiations from what I've read. They were ready to pay him alot of money for him to become exclusive to TNA but drew didn't want to be exclusive to them that's his choice and I'm guessing that no amount of money would make him give up is booking in ireland.

Getting Noticed By Management
Drew Galloway is a guy in his prime but didn t do it for me he was stale not great at mic work he didn't draw any fans or crowds the least and TNA can now possibly bring in someone like Rey Mysterio Jr in or CM Punk that can raise ratings and draw more crowds. Now with DJ Z being amazing as ever in the X division TNA needs to bring in Amazing Red more than ever and start building the X division
The Life Of Pablo Ren
I know my name/avi/sig don't match.
I don't feel like making a whole new thread for the Hardy's but I'm wondering if someone could answer a question for me.
If Matt was going to lose creative control of his character and that's a factor in them leaving, why would he have any interest in going to the WWE where he obviously won't have much if any control over his character?
Is it JUST because it's WWE and he doesn't care as long as he's financially secure?

Does Matt want to go to WWE though?
Other than $$$ he would have a touring schedule & could lose his creative control.
Both Hardy Bros. appear happy with the schedule they have and would make comfortable living with the type of schedule Cody Rhodes has just bouncing between promotions.
As for TNA or Impact Wrestling. I hope they reinvest the money they will save now the three talents are leaving. Jarrett could use his GFW contacts & bring in PJ Gabriel & The Hotshots to add to the X-Division & Tag Division. Sign Wade Barrett & team him with Magnus as a power trip and bring in Homicide or Low-Ki to add depth to the roster.

This is one of those calls that I'm really not sure how to react to. Part of me was hoping he'd stick around a while longer having reinvented himself so well under the Impact banner, but there's no doubt his contract is likely sizable, which means not retaining his services potentially opens a new world of opportunities for an influx of new talent. This would speak directly to Jarrett's statements about wanting to reinfuse Impact with new blood, particularly in the X Division.
My guess is Galloway will go off to work whatever new opportunities he's agreed to and will eventually return, perhaps later in the year, if not next year. There seems to be no animosity whatsoever between the sides, which is great because it leaves the door open to a return down the line.

Trance Metaphor
Floundering in Mid-Card Hell
I'm a fan of Drew Galloway. I felt like he revived his career and image in TNA and was able to successfully erase most of the embarrassing remnants of his last WWE gimmick. This is the Drew Galloway I always wanted to see in the WWE. I know the "Chosen One" gimmick shared the same in-ring style and aggression, and had it transitioned somewhat to what he has going on today, he might have had a better result. The original Drew McIntyre entrance theme will forever be one of my favourite themes of the late 2000s. It is memorable. What I really like about Drew Galloway is his hungry competitive presence. I loved the idea of turning heavyweight titles into world titles by defending them in various countries as that was the case with the ICW Championship and Evolve Championship. It exemplified what I really wanted to see more in wrestling, especially the indies. It made the titles that he was holding feel more important. He did something similar with the TNA World Championship. Again, it made him look like a Champion's Champion. I don't know if there ever will be a future WWE return for Drew Galloway, but if there is...I truly hope that he can become a contender for the Universal Championship. If not, I hope he continues to win titles and wrestle with as much passion as he does now wherever he goes.

I really came around to him toward the end. I think the dark angle he was running as a heel Grand Champion was really great stuff that I was looking forward to seeing fleshed out.
