— There is heat on D’Angelo Dinero among some individuals in TNA Wrestling, reports the Pro Wrestling Torch.
According to sources within WWE, one of the reasons he was let go from the company two years ago was because many felt he let his push on the ECW brand get to his head. He was known to refer to himself in third person as “The Black Pope” once he achieved notoriety and it rubbed some people the wrong way. He has been exhibiting similar behavior in TNA as of late, which has some of his colleagues complaining. He didn’t do himself any favors by veering off script and cutting a 15 minute promo at a recent live event. Producer D-Lo Brown scolded him afterwards, with a number of wrestlers rolling their eyes at Dinero.
“The Pope” has also developed a reputation for making himself look good at the expense of his opponents.
— In an apparent attempt to further separate herself from “The Beautiful People,” Madison Rayne recently dyed her hair dark brunette. She debuted her altered appearance at Thursday night’S TNA Wrestling live event in York, Pennsylvania.
— TNA Wrestling’s Best of the Asylum Years, Vol. 1 double-disc DVD set comes out this Tuesday at major retailers and ShopTNA.com. It contains over 20 rare matches from TNA’s events at the Asylum in Nashville, Tennessee, from 2002-2004.
