TNA wrestler D'Angelo Dinero questioned by no one of his background are in WWE Studios movies during an interview with Brian Fritz of AOL Fanhouse. "I say gee whiz, how come no one of Pope's background if you get my drift, how come ain't none of them done a movie either?" Dinero said.

"Their chance is probably more good or better than mine at this time being that they got a whole production film thing going on. I look at the guys like, that was Cryme Tyme and some of my friends up there, Kofi (Kingston) and I'm like why aren't those guys in movies?

"My time will come so I'm not worried about that. Pope's time will come. Everything happens in due time but right now, first things first, is Pope's gotta get that gold to have as big of bling around his waist. You're talking about the TNA World Heavyweight Title daddy."

Dinero also commented on the tweet he posted in which he seemed to tease that Carlito is coming to TNA. "Pope had no idea that Dixie (Carter) had ... I don't know if she had tweeted or Facebook," he said. "I just have to drop in every now and then to let me congregation know that hey, I ain't forgot about you.

"Like I said, I'm in the midst of four different classes so I just dropped a little tweet 'cause I heard some good news for Pope. So I chose to say "that's cool." I don't know man. This place has ... when Pope says this is cool on Twitter, all of a sudden everyone started coming at me like, like an animal!" To read the full story, check out Fanhouse.com.

Powell's POV: Pope seemed to suggest that WWE isn't featuring African Americans in movie roles. That's true thus far, but most of the movies have gone to top stars in the company. Ted DiBiase is an exception to that rule at this point. I'm not jumping to any conclusions on that one just yet.

Meanwhile, my guess is that Carlito is the person that Dixie was tweeting about and Pope mistakenly let the cat out of the bag. I think he's trying to cover for it now. That said, I have not heard anything officially yet. Other interview topics include whether TNA teases too many big announcements, surprising comments on whether the veterans are taking up too much TV time in TNA, and his thoughts on the TNA Hardcore Justice pay-per-view.
