He looks like he's slowly morphing into Porky Pig. We all know the last thing we'll ever see when TNA goes under will be JB saying "Yibba da yibba da, that's all folks!" The man said Porky Pig, not Rex Hunt. (It'd put a new meaning to "selling and eating Dixie ice creams", that's for sure)

OK, as someone who hasn't followed TNA since 2011 and doesn't know about the backstage goings on.
Could someone tell me what happened to JB? The guy looks awful. Since when did he look like this?

Honestly I was shocked at what had become of him in late 2014. Dude has got in some awful shape these past 2-3 years and all jokes aside he does look quite unhappy and like a broken man. I miss fun, excited and happy JB which we had from like 2000-2010. Bring back old JB!

JB's face looks like a star that is about to collapse in on itself.

The last few SPIKE episodes were really dour don't forget that.
But yeah the DA shows have been disappointing using the exact same TNA playbbok and no evidence of any introspection on the product after being kicked off SPIKE.

It sad that you get canned by one network for having a bad product and done NOTHING to make it better. It still feels like new network only to push what most already know. The end. I'm honestly wondering how long Roode, Hardy, Aries, and Joe are going to stay around for this knowing they can get work else where and make more money doing the AJ root. At this point is it worth it to be wrestling in front of less then a 1,000 fans on a small network?

He looks like someone who has lost all passion or at least if the company is going to die than he's going to be a loyal soldier and not jump ship. It's sad honestly, I remember him a few years ago being that perky guy who had energy to spare and now he just looks old and beaten. Usually drugs do that to a person that fast, not a sinking wrestling company.

Borash looks like how Chris Hardwick used to look when he was still drinking. He has that Peter Hardwick look to him now.

It's Impact Wrestling with a new hat flashlights lighting the arena. Fixed for sad truth.

At this point is it worth it to be wrestling in front of less then a 1,000 fans on a small network? That's one of the reasons why I was against them finding a network so quickly. It didn't teach Dixie, or John, or anyone else in charge any lessons. It just reinforced all of the bad habits they've developed since Hogan came in and Dixie decided she wanted to be a integral part of the product. The backstage management didn't learn an ounce of humility from any of this, because there was someone right there to keep them going. It's funny, A Hideous Car Wreck compared it almost to a drug addiction, and in a lot of ways, that is apropos. Lots of bad habit reinforcement coupled with codependence equals a downward spiral.

Seriously, if 2003-2010 Jeremy Borash was Criswell in "Plan 9 From Outer Space": The current him looks like Criswell from Orgy Of The Dead:

Have the new shows really been that bad? I thought the first two were pretty fun, outside the show-opening brawl (corny and overused) and EY's turn being "out of nowhere" (vintage TNA). Besides that, I thought they were doing ok.
Haven't seen the third yet, though, so maybe it was garbage.

Why does it look like they are wrestling on Charlie Rose's set?

Wow, such a drastic change for Borash since he had these long, flowing locks in the past. Feel the BoWrath.

It's the lack of Dixie that's bringing the shows down. The current product lacks her sweet supple southern touch.

I feel so bad for Jeremy Borash. Really, I do.
I was watching some of the 2005 TNA PPVs that I have on DVD and he was so genuinely excited about TNA and truly believed they were going somewhere and would be the competition that the industry needed. Now he just looks like a person who's seen the end and knows there's nothing that can be done to stop it.
And that is the impression I got from just the first picture.

People always claim that TNA is an easier place to work than WWE because of the schedule and travel and such, but my god - Jeremy Borash, someone who has been with TNA since the beginning is the living proof that being in TNA ages you more than WWE ever could.
It's brutal to see.
