Yeah, this is how the angle should've started and, the spoilers were right, it came off GREAT on TV.
But, is TNA better off for it? I mean, for the 50 millionth time they've delivered to their audience a twisted, half-assed story that makes no sense and, at another point on the show, completely failed to deliver a promised and advertised point - that being either a conclusion to or a break in the Hogan/Dixie Court case. After promising that, not only would Hogan APPEAR on iMPACT this week, but a decision would be reached in the case holding him from appearing they proceed to push it back to the March 3 episode of iMPACT, almost another month away.
The company fails to deliver and twists and turns themselves so much that it's hard to tell who's coming and who's going anywhere on the card. The storylines are all lost, nobody is over, and nothing that is done means anything in the grand scheme of things.
Just pull the plug. Let these guys go so some of the really good ones can go to WWE. Yeah, most of them would probably get lost in the midcard in less than a year, but they'd get paid better for doing it and in a few months would be bigger stars than they were for years in WWE. And I think Beer Money would be absolutely fine there, maybe a few others, but those two for sure.
