I'm just happy Scott was able to resurrect TNA before they cut his head off. They're stuck with calling it TNA now.

At this point it feels like they're letting the talent book themselves which I think will result in some good and some very bad. Rn two of my least favorite gimmicks in awhile are ongoing with Jonathan Gresham's WereOctopus and Deaner's fan's choice thing. I like to think that's bc they have no structure reigning things in rn and someone stepping up to take control could fix it but we'll just wait and see

Are people taking this as the major negative instead of the creative shakeup? BFG will definitely be happening in October, I don't imagine we get a location until Spammy, that's normal yeah.
Not necessarily THE major negative but combining it with people being let go and the speculative "interesting timing" from Meltzer, then it definitely paints a glum picture for the TNA fans I guess.

And without him maybe they stop running that shitty Windsor arena. That and the NXT partnership are my only post January positives so far :lol

The glum picture for me has been the product that isn't replaying a WWE angle since about March. We need more Joe Hendry and less Matt Hardy

I'd be interesting in the timing of Evans departure bc him being "head of creative" is news to me so if he took over right after Scott he'd actually be to blame for most of the issues I've had since

I could see WWE taking him back if HHH liked him his first run bc the only reason he was fired if bc he didn't tell Bret Hart not to thank Vince in a HOF speech. But if they didn't fight for him then, probably wasn't someone anyone there cared about

I think the prevailing theory was he'd rubbed people the wrong way and that was just the final straw that got him cut which makes more sense but I find that would also have been a more acceptable reason than the one they gave so

Yeah, that Vince shit was dumb but I like that DX completely mocked it though. For like three straight minutes.
