I don't have DA so I don't watch Impact, but I have no desire to see race or transgender issues or stories in wrestling, so I wouldn't watch Impact anyway if they did that.
I'm sure those here remember them getting praise for hiring a homosexual and then they have Orlando Jordan go and do THAT.

Billy has been done with Resistance since November. if he brings in some of his "guys" it would be interesting, seeing Robert Anthony, Mr. 450, Melanie Cruz, and Jay Bradley getting pushes on TNA would be pretty fun. it would be good if he can convince Raven to come in as an agent again like in Resistance. You know, I've never seen Mr. 450, but that name puts me right off. Screams that he knows he's only got one trick in his bag. Again, I have no idea of that's true or not, but that's the first impression right off the bat. I saw Mr. 450 wrestle once. He had a cartoon of himself on his tights and wore a thing on his face to the ring that made him look like a cyborg. He was aight in the ring. Pretty sure he didn't even do a 450 though.

It just feel like TNA did this for the media hype but in the long run it will not help tna in the long run

Given that wrestling's relationship to sexual/racial/gender issues has usually been a plethora of racism, sexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, saying that you could touch on the issues but have a positive ending sounds like a breath of fresh air. But grahhgh the evil SJWs are out to conquer the world from their Tumblr fortress of doom or something. If TNA were to touch on those issues respectfully and end things in a positive way I would be amazing and probably gain a huge respect from them. Unfortunately, I expect a transgender Sam Shaw angle that ends with him ripping off a wig and berating my entire existence before any of that. James Storm will brainwash Manik into thinking he is a female. Manik will do a sitdown interview with Mike Tenay that he is a woman trapped inside a man's body and now he wants to let the woman in him "free".

I'm a Pumpkins and Billy fan, but this just smells of classic TNA. The mentality of "Here is someone who was successful 20 years. If we bring them to TNA, that successful will be duplicated." The only problem is that formula hasn't worked for them yet, but they keep going to it. I just don't understand their thinking. I mean.....Britney Spears has been hugely successful for a long time, but I don't want her booking wrestling storylines either.

Basically this comes down to TNA grasping for any type of positive news they can get. It's not like Billy is a complete unknown. He has done some stuff with Resistance Pro and it sounds like he wants to do something different with the product. Which could be a positive in that they may try to be an alternative instead of a copy of the WWE.

Seven or eight minutes into the video Corgan mentions how he has a solo acoustic tour and a Smashing Pumpkins/Marilyn Manson summer tour coming up. So I just like the idea of him being on tour and while a bunch of booze, drug and sex fueled hedonism is going on at the hotel after the gig, and he's putting together the run down for a future episode of iMPACT!

Not the same Corgan he was in the 90s. He also largely resents a lot of the original Smashing Pumpkins work. If Corgan's SJW type work is anything remotely similar to the gang wars Russo wrote in the late 90s, I'm all for it. Russo took things to the extreme and produced lots of laughably awful but watchable content for TNA.

Since Corgan is friends with that psycho Alex Jones, why not have a wrestler whose gimmick is he sees conspiracies everywhere, even in the Knockouts Division

I hope he gets Marilyn Manson to make theme songs or Billy himself. Save us from Serg and Dale.

Wrestling desperately needs someone out of traditional wrestling "booking" and "TV writing". So this can only be a positive thing if you ask me. Yes he is not proven in anything wrestling but considering how much little success anyone running the show had sans VM he cant make it any worse.

How long before Corgan is an on-screen authority figure? because I know TNA is itching to have one because it's been almost four months since they had one. Who's going to be the heel stable to go up against him?
