TNA should have employed me years ago; those two would have been the first fired. Something that has been consistent with me in this section is the hatred aimed towards Hogan and Bischoff.

Didn't you watch KK when he was X Division champ last year? And yeah, TJP still is Manik.
Oh that's right, naw I was working like 70 hrs a week and 12 hrs on Thursdays last year haha. I do remember actually the match he won it though now that I think about it.. im pretty sure it was against RVD around this time last year.

Thing is, the proof is in the pudding. If ratings mean anything that hatred was well justified. Impact is getting 1.4 segments now, and during the entire 3 year reign of terror or Hogan and Bischoff they did that 3 times (Hogan's debut and 2 BFG fallout episodes) iirc. What a colossal waste of time and money.

I suppose losing Bad Influence wouldn't be that big of a blow for the company, sadly. But I remember Cornette and Delirious in ROH talking about how they didn't want Samoa Joe back in 2012 because since he was horribly misused for so many years in TNA. If they still think that way, Bad Influence can't do ANYTHING right in kayfabe. and assuming they (especially Kazarian) aren't interested in WWE... shouldn't they be really interested in TNA where the fans love them? I respect this "new era", letting old faces walk to bring in "new" ones... but come on, you can't replace the tag team that's two planets worth of great.

Also +1 for a KK + Manik tag team. Why can't they just bring back the X-Division guys they have on pay-per-appearance deals every now and then?

With all of the new great things (some returns, debuts with MVP and Wolves, good ratings) going on, we'd have too many bad ones with AJ Styles leaving plus Sting (I like the guy, he has personality and livens it up). Now, they need to keep Bad Influence - they're THE most entertaining tag team in TNA; and possibly in their entire company. The money saved from getting rid of Hogan and Styles should help them keep BI.
