>>14984267He wasn't just happy, he was fucking relieved. You can say all you want about smarks, social media, or international followings, this dude is on a wrestling show that almost nobody watches and is appearing on a show for the biggest company on the planet (the C-show mind you, but it's still leaps and bounds larger than anything he's ever been involved with). We're long past the point of Florida locals popping for TNA talent because they've been gone forever. It's a brand new audience that you have absolutely no idea whether or not they're going to know who the fuck you are and what you can do. If he gets crickets coming out the gate and goes like he did in the battle royale, his value takes a hit and you start wondering whether or not there's a chance he makes the jump to the next level and continues to rot in Impact forever.
The second he heard that pop, he knew he could get away with whatever he wanted that night.
