We have all put up with a lot garbage with TNA over the years. But crap Hardy pulled in the main event after all the Dusty finishes on the show I'm done. I don't understand how they think this will fly. It didnt work 10-12 years ago when the same idiots were trying it in WCW & it won't work in TNA today. The people i feel sorry for are the guys who have busted there ass for years in TNA. Styles, Joe, Daniels, Beer Money MCMG, Jay Lethal, Hernandez. They deserve better, hell WE deserve better. I would put money on them being out of business by this time next year.
Bottom line I am done with TNA so long, farewell Auf Weidersein, goodbye.

This thread is not going to end well.
But I agree with you being fed up with the BS. You're not alone and a LOT of people feel the same way. But.....a lot of people also just try and ignore the bad and focus on what good there is to be had within the company. I applaud them for that.

This is a real low, but I'm quite interested to see how they deal with it. If they take decisive, gutsy action, it could well be a positive (albeit way overdue).

I can understand that point of view but for me the "Main Event" of Victory Road was the straw that broke the Camel's back.

I'll wait and see how this situation is dealt with before I personally burn down the Impact Zone.

They weren't exactly dusty finishes but I see what you are saying. A dusty finish is where it looks like someone won but then it gets reversed. People have kind of broaden the term though so whatever. This ppv looked like an impact.

I pretty much gave up on TNA a long time ago. I never watch Impact, even when I actually remember that it's on I'd usually rather just continue playing whatever video game I'm playing at the time. I never order their PPV's either, or even remember that they're on usually.
When I DO watch TNA, it just reminds me of why I quit.

I get what you are saying but at the same time I don't get why people think WWE is doing all that much better in my opinion. I think the only difference is that WWE has more money and higher production. Yet people usually let them off the hook a lot more often when they do stupid storylines or when they change up or desert storylines with no explanation. Nexus should have been a really big deal in WWE. They had a chance to do something awesome. Instead they started out with a bang and went out like a candle in less than a year. It was like a bottle rocket.

meh I don't care really about the whole thing. I never cared for Hardy to begin with. If that leads to him leaving i'll be happy.

I think it depends really for me.
If it's Jeff being "Unfit to compete", while stupid that they let him out there in the first place I don't think I could give them 100% of the blame.
If however it's a "Worked Shoot"....I may just join the OP.

If it's a worked shoot, then whoever is behind it (especially if it's Russo) should be canned immediately after being tar and feathered for the live crowd at Universal Studios. You dont ever...EVER...book a main event like that. It's pretty much flipping the bird to all of the fans you just ripped off for $35. Now, if it was a real shoot, whoever let Hardy go out there needs to be canned...now.

TNA broke me for the last time in August (Abyss, Serge, crap)
I only tuned in twice to see the Foley /Flair program and haven't watched since October. And, I'm a happier person for it.
Russo will never be fired. Dixie is an idiot (probably plugs her ears and goes "LALALALALALA" when she hears criticism) Nobody will pull the plug on them, because Daddy runs the place.

I've never been won over by TNA. There is some good stuff there but the bad outweighs the good in my personal opinion.
For the die hard TNA fans, even they have to admit its becoming hard to defend this crap week after week. People shouldn't pay their money and get THAT as the reward.

Honestly, as much as I'd hate to see such talent lose their jobs, I'm actually kinda interested in watching TNA fall apart.

I'm close to being done with TNA myself after that garbage last night. I'm to the point where I refuse to give them money right now. Now if TNA can show that it is willing to recover from this debacle, I might consider buying the PPVs again. But if we see more of the same, then we can start waiting for Vince McMahon to buy the company because this won't end well.

For the die hard TNA fans, even they have to admit its becoming hard to defend this crap week after week. People shouldn't pay their money and get THAT as the reward. I agree with you to a point although I think there are some things that TNA does much better than WWE. Backstage segments, tag teams, and the Knockouts Division. The knockouts division has been through some bad bumps in the last year but it was great not too long ago back when Kong was still there. It amazes me how much more criticism TNA gets than WWE. It think it has everything to do with the production value and the fact that WWE has been around sixty years longer. I've watched TNA since they started on Fox Sports Net in 2004 or 2005 and it has been hard to watch sometimes but I'd still put TNA now over TNA when they first started on Fox Sports Net where they had Dusty as the authority figure. You want to know how bad TNA was back then? They had the MEM Security guys as a serious tag team in a frat boys gimmick called Phi Delta Slam. Oh yeah it was that bad.
