If he is released and could come to WWE I would love for him and Low-Ki to join Punks SES.

I would not blame Daniels from leaving TNA. He went from main eventing a TNA's last Pay Per View in 2009 against AJ Styles to jobbing every single night afterwards for two months.

I just don't see the upward growth. They do have future stars, and they push them far more than WCW ever did. I don't even think they mean to "hold them down" either. They're just so dialed into the established stars it seems their own creations only go so far.
Basically the peak of your TNA career is getting a PPV match against Angle, but everyone gets it and goes back to treading water. I feel like there's been no progression for AJ Styles, or Samoa Joe or any of their "homegrown stars" in the past few years. You see the week to week progression of characters like CM Punk, Randy Orton, The Miz and John Morrison on WWE TV. Even if some are pushed more slowly than others, it seems like everything can and eventually does go somewhere. Desmond Wolfe is probably my favorite talent in TNA, but he debuts and goes right after Angle. That's probably the biggest match they could build, and they hotshot it to pander to IWC fans. There's just no sense in having a guy who the national audience has no connection with come in and peak right away unless the goal is to keep him there (ie Lesnar). Now he's back in the midcard and his growth probably has limits. I'm not a big Ken Anderson fan, but they're high on him and he comes right in and enters into a huge fued with Angle. Fair enough. But now they've had a handful of matches, and nearly every gimmick match. The fued is dead in the water and it's not even a few months old. It seems like Angle matches/fueds are their bread and butter and they know it. I think Angle is the most deserving veteran of his spot in TNA, and it's great that he works with a younger crop of stars, but it's hard to tell what month it is on their show because of this. |

You can't really expect fans to buy anyone as your top guy when you don't do so yourself. It's like AJ Styles and Abyss fueding over the TNA World Title.
That's what it should be all about, if they were serious about it, but it's about Hogan and Flair. They're both sidekicks to the veterans, when it should be the other way around. The way they're handling Pope is far better, but that match probably won't amount to a sustained push or him. It probably won't even main event the show. Also, it will more than likely start to shift focus to Ric Flair and not AJ Styles. |

I so hope he'll be at the May 8th show I'll be there. I'll finally get to see one of my five favorite wrestlers of all time in The Fallen Angel not to mention one of my top 10 favorite wrestlers in Alex Shelley.
I'm pumped. |

Yeah, Daniels was scheduled to face Shingo Takagi at the ROH show I went to, but his flight was delayed, and he couldn't make it in time.
Good thing Curry Man was there to fill in for him. |

Jeritron has said everything I wanted to say, except that...not that this is a TNA bashing thread, but I feel like it fits in...
TNA says this is the "new TNA" and a "new beginning" when it all just feels like Nitro to me...but with a better division of wrestling. They have too many ideas and too many people to do anything well. Maybe it's just the round table of booking? |

I'd like to see Christopher Daniels join up with AJ Styles, actually. They've had their problems recently, but Daniels joining Ric Flair because Flair hates Hogan would make some sense. If they do go with some sort of "Four Horsemen" stable, then AJ Styles and Daniels would make a great base for it. Desmond Wolfe would also be involved, and a fourth spot could either go to Matt Morgan or Mr. Anderson.
Daniels is a smaller guy that I think would do quite well in the WWE, actually. He can work a tremendous match, he's got a good look for a smaller guy (there's something charismatic about him), and he's a capable talker. I'd love to see Daniels come in as "The Fallen Angel" and embody vice in a feud against CM Punk, representing freedom of choice and all that sort of stuff. That could be a feud of the year. |

There are benefits for TNA, too. They get access to a larger pool of talent. The Briscoes appearing in TNA is money. They also get to look like "nice guys" to the IWC, who will probably tune in to see how this TNA/ROH stuff goes. Some of their guys will also get to work some classic matches in ROH, and they may even be able to borrow some of the ROH video library to promote TNA. ROH may not have the largest fanbase in the world -- but this could sort of "unify" the TNA and ROH audiences a bit, and ROH fans are a loyal bunch. I think it would strengthen TNA more than hurt it. Earlier I was imagining how much I would mark out if this Samoa Joe kidnapping angle was revealed to be a bunch of ROH guys taking Joe hostage. |

Frightened to use the word "invasion", but they do have two of the biggest roh stars ever in Joe and Wolfe, so they've already got that over the wcw invasion.

I wouldn't go invasion, either. It wouldn't really make sense. Maybe some more aggressive towards what the other company represents than others, but the whole thing shouldn't be TNA versus ROH, if they did it. And TNA is actually good like that. Each performer has their own sort of personality. Kurt Angle may welcome it, because he loves wrestling. Ric Flair may hate it, because he owes ROH money.

I think the best way to do it, would be to just have the ROH champ, whoever it is at the time, come in to TNA and defend his title there.

Maybe. I would consider going a little further. Kevin Steen wrestling a match or two, El Generico is the X-Division, etc. Sort of like a "World X Cup," but instead of guys representing other countries, you'd have the occasional guy representing ROH. Hell, some guys you don't even need to really put over as ROH guys, even. Some of the bigger guys maybe, but if you slipped Kenny King into the X-Division for a bit, it wouldn't even need to come up that he was with ROH.

Ha, fair enough. I guess Daniels just wasn't happy. He's obviously glad to be back with ROH, but I hope he does consider the WWE. CM Punk vs. Xavier Angel (random WWE name)...fucking hot.

The TNA roster is already too full with tons of talent not getting enough exposure. Letting another promotion come in and take more time away is an awful idea IMO. Plus we all know TNA is trying to compete with WWE. Is it really wise for them to have a major angle where they are struggling to fight off an indy fed?

It could also work both ways. Some TNA guys that aren't really doing anything could get exposure on TNA, and be presented as great workers. The Motor City Machine Guns, for example. ROH would also be laughing if they got Rob Van Dam for a match or two against Jerry Lynn, or Kurt Angle for a few matches. |
