I don't think he'll be using it anymore.

He used it yesterday in the HWF against Lou Thesz.

If Thesz is Main Eventing against Bossman...I want no part of wrestling in the afterlife.
Why did they give that match away?
Dusty Rhodes is why.
Why did they turn him?
Dusty Rhodes is why.
They should have run that exact Impact title match (with Brown no selling the guitar shot) as the Main Event of a later ppv...with Brown winning of course.
Kudos to TNA as well for publically apologizing for blowing the BFG match and letting them do it again on the special.
EDIT: Now retire the gimmick until the next BFG ppv. At the earliest.
They usually use the X division title.
That never falls. since they learned how to attach it.
The X is too oddly shaped to attach properly.
Kudos to Petey for using a LOW BLOW HANGING FROM THE WIRES to win.
A true heel.
Scott D'Amore would be perfect for house shows...if they had house shows.
Other than that...his routine was already old when they moved to 3 hour ppvs...over a year ago.
They just need to dump D'Amore and A1. Leave Petey in the X division and make Young and Roode a regular tag team.
I guess that is kind of like blowing it up...but I like Roode and Young.
Is Jarrett going to be injured?
I have no doubt that Joe will hold that title and main event the company at some point in his 2 year contract...but Aries needs more than just being great to seperate him from the other X guys. Cause...they're real good too.
Besides...only Styles may main event from the X division.
Joe is by far the best bumping big man in the business.
He sells like a big man should.
His selling and bumping for Sabin MADE his match with him as good as it was.
I like him too...but the way he's been used for the last year plus doesn't lead to thinking that his role (look strong all the time, only lose to the person who is being pushed to the top, repeat) is going to change anytime soon.
He's been in TNA for a long time now. He used the mask and gimmick in Puerto Rico before that. He's better than your average big man...especially when you put him in the ring with AJ Styles. The Styles DVD has 2 Abyss matches on it...and with good reason. That's when I kind of flipped from "meh its a big guy" to "Damn...he's pretty good".
TNA should look back to that and have him and AJ go at it again. It would get him over...without the thumbtacks.
