Yeah I do. PWInsider has said he is back and I trust them 100% and the booking the last few weeks has more than shown it, IMO. I'm not sure, I'm an unabashed Russo mark and have watched most of, if not all of his television work and while there have been his calling cards around over the past couple of weeks they've had none of his usual charm or style to them. They've just been there. I mean look at it like this, I'm a Russo mark, I'm also a big TNA supporter (not an apologist, as I will say last weeks shows was pretty dire and they've been slowly regressing again) and I've followed this from day 1. The writing might be Russo-esque, maybe even a direct take on his style but he's not righting it himself, it's missing all of his 'feel'. I could be wrong but it's a feeling I trust. PWInsider are saying what they've deduced from watching as they've not cited a source nor do they have any proof, I'm doing the same. This is copycat Russo in my opinion. No they are saying that based on people they know (HI Jeremy) telling them. There is a reason they get more TNA exclusives than anyone else and had them as advertisers for years. They're close. You don't believe them I do, with that, I back out because because this is off topic and maddening to me.

Sorry, but I need to see proof. She has the IQ of a turnip! How can she be creative?
I really hope you're joking with that statement, because what makes you think she has the IQ of a turnip other than the fact she's a woman? A tad sexist maybe. Or maybe you're racist against turnips. Perhaps they're nature's most intelligent soil grown vegetation. How dare you doubt them and besmirch their potential intellect.

Question for wrestling historians... have there been many female bookers/writers in pro wrestling? I mean I don't want to completely s*** on this because having a woman on the staff could bring a different perspective to the writing... BUT CHRISTY? sorry

Vince Russo has the brain of a chickpea but he is still booking for a certain Nashville based sports entertainment company. This would be a step up.
I meant to say Christy Hemme the tv character. In real life, Christy is probably 100 times smarter than me!

Heck, Gaburick even admitted they were using "consultants" to help polish the overall writing product a few days ago.

Heck, Gaburick even admitted they were using "consultants" to help polish the overall writing product a few days ago. Yeah this is kinda what I was getting at, as I said the product has all of Russo's calling cards and none of his charm. If he was writing the show I'd know, I love the guy and have always enjoyed TNA's product under him. As of right now I am enjoying the product less than I pretty much EVER have and that's because it feels like a second rate version of itself, which would occur with others trying to replicate Russo's style by putting his consultancy into their writing. This is my last comment on the matter because obviously I'm not actively trying to annoy and derail the threads, just giving my honest opinion as a fan of Russo and TNA. As I said earlier Christy is a fresh mind creatively and giving her a shot is a good idea. I hope great things come of it.

Are we all really down on TNA right now?
I disliked the booking at the end of the title match at Lockdown, and Willow is excruciating, but I've felt pretty good about it for a little while beyond those things.

TNA is not as offensively bad as they were back in October, but it certainly isn't good either. Let's put it this way, if you think the booking of the title picture sucks and that Willow is stupid, then that really leaves Bully Ray vs. Bobby Roode as the only upper-card feud that isn't affected by all of that.

I didn't say the title picture sucks; I actually like that Joe is still there and Eric Young has gotten a chance now. It was the title match at Lockdown that I had problems with; good beginning, then just an utterly stupid, crowd-deflating way to end it.

It's not like they've thrown out some top grade writers to make way for her. At this point any addition would simply get a "Good luck! You ****ing need it." from me.
