three count bout
Beauregard Dallas
Its hard to believe we are only two years removed from a period of Impact Wrestling when the Pope was being pushed to be a major player in the organization. He picked up impressive wins over Desmond Wolfe, a victory over then World Champion AJ Styles, and won the 8 Card Stud Tournament at Against All Odds over Wolfe (God I miss him) Morgan and Mr Anderson.
Although he failed in his bid to win the World Title, he remained a charismatic, athletic reasonably young talent. Unfortunately he got injured and took some time off to rest and get healthy.
Not too long after his return he was placed in an unlikely alliance with the Stinger and Big Sexy Kevin Nash. To be paired with two legends suggested Impact Wrestling saw big things and thought highly of Pope, but we all know how this ended with both Nash and Sting leaving after Immortal formed and Pope was left to fight the good fight alone. Absent Minded booking led to him jobbing to abyss, and finally turning heel all culminating in a boring feud with Joe.
Since... well Pope has flipped flopped a few times, hasn't been involved in any good storylines of note. He was paired with the energy sucking Devon Dudley and hasn't had a memorable match in forever. All that withstanding I Still think there is potential for Pope. I think that since coming to Impact he's gone heel/face too many times which is a common gripe of mine. When he was the face Pope with the money falling from the rafters, and Michael Jackson pedo mask and he gave his pimptastic glasses to children ala Hitman he had a good thing going. The Impact Zone seemed to like him, I distinctly remember Pope is Pimping chants!
Some guys work better Heel, than Face and I don't think Pope is one of them. Now even though I like the Pope and want to see Impact do more with him, I understand why he can't be in the Main Event ATM because its crowded.
Which brings me to my questions:
Perhaps Not now but can Pope insert himself into the Main Event?
Which Pope do you prefer, Heel or Face?
How can IW present or "Book" Pope to help get him over?
Lastly If you think the Pope is horrible and has no potential Please Say Why
Thanks
