I wouldn't say he 100% did have that too but it was definitely the least heard if between major companies.

The real bidding war tho isn't Moose Sabin or even Shelley

I think it's guys like
Bey
Ace
Grace
Shaw
Maclin
Steve (somewhat)
Bailey
Rascalz (think they both def could sign with nxt especially if Wes Lee sticks Round nxt) plus Zach Gf is in nxt.
With how Zach was fired last time, I don't know if he'd really go back tbh. I wouldn't hate it, cause having all 3 together again would be awesome, but I just am not sure I see it.

Scott was proud of having created a locker room without the drama and toxic people

He'd have to completely remodel both MLW and NWA
Oh, we ain’t about to do is put MLW and NWA in the same category. :krillin2

However, that would be the entire point of bringing him in. Letting him reshape the locker room and create that trust and that harmony and create a consistency, etc..

Never forget Dalton Castle beat Cody Rhodes for the roh world title
I’ve never been a big fan of Castle, but I think he was pretty over at the time.

So...... This sucks for all involved. Although maybe Scott can turn this into a head of creative job in a bigger company.

But to be devils advocate, we have no idea how he was doing as PRESIDENT, that's an office job that we don't have any idea about. We as fans have evidence that he is a great booker.

I also feel bad for the new president as he's given a raw deal having to replace someone beloved.

Well there's a lot of aspects of his president job that we can see and he did them well. But one that we can't is profitabilty, which most likely would be the most important one to Anthem anyway so your point still stands really

I wanna know what we see about his job as president? I personally am not a fan of their set (did not like the setup at Hard To Kill at all).

Cause honestly aside from overall morale it's all behind the scenes stuff that we don't see. Creative has nothing to do with the President job. The most important part is to work well with his bosses and it is painfully clear that he wasn't.

I’m really not sure where you’re getting any of this.

Cultivating working relationship with all of the major companies, including somewhat of one with WWE and fixing a NJPW relationship that was deemed impossible at one point. Hiring the talent and more importantly the staff he did including other creative pieces and producers. Pushing for and executing the rebrand that gave them more buzz and PPV buys than they've had in years.

Working well with his bosses may not have been conducive to creating an on-screen product that would yield a renewed interest in the company, so I think it's forgivable if he stood his ground on certain shit in the interest of making a good wrestling product. Which he did. In a way that no other TNA/Impact head has done before him, honestly, and that's coming from a lifelong TNA mark.

Locking down talent like moose to large contracts that realistically should have left for greener pastures…
