TNA Wrestling’s Hard to Kill event went down last night, and there are many things to talk about after the show. Some are shocked to see Dolph Ziggler in a TNA t-shirt, but others are focusing on Dana Brooke’s new gimmick.
Ash by Elegance is Dana Brooke’s new name in TNA Wrestling. She broke her silence on the matter, where she only re-stated her name. Although she hasn’t had a chance to do anything in TNA yet, her new persona is getting dragged hard.
Toni Storm is absolutely killing it in AEW with her Timeless gimmick. She just keeps getting better and is doing the best work of her career right now. When Ash by Elegance showed up at TNA Wrestling Hard to Kill, even with a butler by her side, fans started to call her out for gimmick infringement.
In a tweet translated from Spanish, it said, “TNA signs Dana Brooke. It will be Ash by Elegance. It does not convince me. Brooke has never been much of a draw. It seems that they want to reissue the success of ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm.’TNA signs Dana Brooke. It will be Ash by Elegance. It does not convince me. Brooke has never been much of a draw.
