Yeah it makes sense when you look at the timeline. January HOGAN's debut and Hardy's return. February-Abyss tries to win belt but can't pull it off. March-Abyss fails but dominates Flair/AJ April-Hardy/Abyss/Jarrett/RVD joins HOGAN's team for Lockdown and RVD slips past Hardy to take the spot light and become champ. May-RVD is champion at the Sacrifice PPV and Hardy begins a shakey relationship with Anderson. June-Fans wait for Anderson to turn on Hardy but he never does, RVD keeps the man that Hogan/Bischoff have issues with(Sting) from winning the belt). July-RVD squeaks by with his belt in a 4way also featuring Hardy/Abyss/Anderson meaning THEY had 2 men trying to steal the belt. August-Abyss turns on Hogan and takes out RVD, which finally results in him losing the belt. Abyss never gets punished for attacking RVD. September-Hardy advances in the tournament claiming he's doing it for RVD when he's actually doing it for himself. October-Hogan and Bischoff endorse Angle and Anderson for champ showing the DECEPTION that Sting has been talking about for months. Finally Hogan/Bischoff show their true colors and help Hardy win the belt after they've had Dixie sign papers to fire Abyss that will turn out to be control of TNA.

different THEY, we never saw who was under the hoods.
Maybe it was Sting trying to enlighten him and he had some friends.

But uhh... why wait so long?
Also why have Abyss turn into a nutjob for half the year? Didn't Abyss assault Hogan and try to make him swallow his ring? Don't see the point in this.

This is my major problem with TNA. The wrestling for the most part is really good and I enjoy it. But the storylines and angles...it keeps frustrating me. A lot of these angles start off really well and then it either peters out or is just forgotten about entirely...sometimes within weeks. And with the flip flopping of wrestlers as face or heel, I no longer have a good idea WHO is face and who are heels anymore. And if TNA has trouble doing the most basic premise of wrestling (good vs evil), how is someone suppose to follow one like this, with 8 million twists and turns?
Call me stupid, call me a TNA hater (which I'm really not), but there has to be someone that feels the same way as I do. I WANT to like TNA, but they make it so hard to do so. It's like dating a woman who keeps kicking you in the balls and wonders one day why you don't love her.

I feel exactly the same way, and had most of these thoughts tonight. I just remember one of Russo's famous quotes: there is no black or white, only shades of gray.

like I said in the BFG thread, this angle can work and be connected together but it will be very complex.

They need to keep their storylines more simplistic. Good vs. Evil. They have wayyyyyyyyyy too much gray area.

In TNA, whenever something happens that doesn't make sense, just remember that a wizard did it.

Think about it since coming to TNA Bischoff & Hogan have undermined damn near every decision Dixie has made.
Nash and Sting knew it, but she was conned by their aura. Now if Hogan & Bischoff is going to take over who do you use.
Abyss-He's easy to manipulate look at his past.
Jeff Jarrett-He hates Dixie. Hogan says he's Dixie's partner thus exing Jarrett out. Jarrett knows the company and would love to screw over the woman who took his company from him.
then their's Hardy. Unless he turned heel he would never be champ. Anderson's become almost as popular as him. RVD is over and Angle's loved. So turning heel gets him the title. Now he has the company behind him and the power.

Don't see the point in this. to basically make sure that dixi didn't suspect hogan and eric of trying to pull a fast one when firing abyss/signing over her rights.

The real deception will be deceiving people to keep giving a shit after 10 months.

Here's a good question though...and I appreciate those trying to explain the storyline. If a lot of us (the internet dorks) have trouble following it, how hard is it for the average fan to follow it? Aren't THEY the ones who are the majority? Turning one of their biggest merchandise sellers into a heel not only doesn't make sense, but hurts sales.

Doesn't explain why Bischoff hazed the heck out of Jarrett or why Hardy feuded with Abyss or why anyone should give a ding dong diddly doo. Ah who am I kidding? Looking for logic in this promotion... oh vey.

And the "THEY" part meant the average fan, not the new group.
