insert spiel about company loyalty here.

Honestly I don't think they had much of a choice. The brand in itself is toxic it seems. Both Hardys are on top of TNA right? They run their own company, OMEGA in and around the same area that BFG was held. When OMEGA runs shows they have crowds of about 1500 people and have to literally drive people away at the door. When TNA ran BFG with the same people on top (and a few guys that work OMEGA working BFG) they apparently had a total of 280 paying customers and the rest being plants/tickets handed out for free. Talk about a brand that has taken a beating.
:damn:

just gonna make a big TNA post here...

It's a shame, seems like whenever people actually watch TNA they enjoy it, but you know if Test, Leo, and I gave up months ago...
And of course all the backstage drama have most fans CRAVING the death of TNA. It's the most over thing in wrestling.
Weird thing is after Russo left, outside of anything EC3 related they became "even more" of the TNA 7/10 I knew.
Not many memorable things happening. Nobody making an impact. But a consistently solid TV show - barring the one angle you hate they always have - with enough effort to call it good. But all steak and failed sizzle gets stale quick.

As a mark for tournaments, though, I LOVE this idea. (Don't care about BFG getting screwed over.) The rules make enough sense for you to follow, and by all accounts the wrestling has been really good and it all means something. GOOD GRIEF would it be great to see this formula implemented on Raw, I'd watch again in a heartbeat.

Thing is, the one year the BFG Series wasn't fucked up (2012), one of the main reasons it worked was that they got the "filler segments" of the show. Roode promo. Tournament match. Women's match/segment. Tag team match. Tournament match. Claire Lynch screaming under your mute button. Sprinkle in backstage segments, tack on a main event, good show... but JUST tournament matches and the most generic of promos? Garbage.

Although even if you DO ignore all the guys who have left... Stop, remember you mentioning how TNA should become a "regular indy" for a while... think you can compete with DGUSA or PWG with this roster? Lmao. This roster SUCKS
