TNA wrestler D'Angelo Dinero reveals how much freedom he's given on the mic

TNA wrestler D'Angelo Dinero told Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas of Right After Wrestling that he is given freedom with his promos: "TNA (script) says, 'Pope walks in, Pope cuts a promo, Pope leaves.' It's that simple. That makes it fun. It doesn't say, 'Pope enters, Pope says I'm the Pope, who are you, this is why I don't like you'... no!

TNA says "go be Pope." Can't no 40 year old white dude write a promo on how a black guy from Harlem, New York is supposed to act! They never been in black skin! They don't know where this gimmick has evolved from, so kudos to TNA for giving me that freedom."

Powell's POV: That's encouraging to hear, as the wrestlers who can hold their own on the mic should have the freedom to deliver their own promos. You can catch the full interview at Right After Wrestling.

Other topics include:

- How his amateur career in boxing caused him problems early on in pro wrestling, particularly with "worked" punches.

-Working with Mr. Anderson, and thoughts on him as well.

-How he's excited about working in TNA since day one (and recollecting on his first night).
