I didn't think anything could be more annoying than Kurt Angle on top in 2015 but JEFF JARRETT getting another f***ing mega-push? Nah, I'm straight brah. Seriously, at least Angle used to be a legitimate main event talent... Jarrett on his best day has never been anything more than a solid upper mid carder Quit hating.

Why do an invasion angle for a promotion that's barely run any shows (or any at all?) and no-one's f***ing heard of?

Welcome to "Whose Show is it Anyway?" Where everything is made up and the Storylines don't matter. That's right the Storylines are just like TNA vs GFW, doesn't matter

Yeah, again, the only way this works is if it's more about Jarrett reclaiming power in TNA, with GFW being the company's rebranded name once he succeeds in becoming majority owner. You can't really build up animosity between two promotions when one barely exists, let alone two.

A) So, instead of using the few remaining resources they have to make something work, they decide to work the roster and apparently the DA Execs for the sake of working them...****ing hell, I never thought someone could be that far up their own ass.
B) Is there a contingency plan should Panda (or just Bob and Janice) sell to WWE to maybe recoup some of their losses, or does everything go ker-flooey at that point?

You can't really build up animosity between two promotions when one barely exists, let alone two. Which could be exactly what they're doing. Continuing to run their own shows while having a presence on TNA Television can only help the GFW brand grow. Doing this alongside a GFW Takeover angle would also allow the final switchover from TNA to GFW go as smoothly as possible as you now have brand awareness among TNA fans so there's no confusion when the switchover finally happens. I'm not usually an optimist but with the fact that we've seen nothing of this angle yet and it's been a while since we've seen anything extremely dumb from TNA as far as their television product goes in a while (not counting minor glitches and their shitty business practices) I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt before harking this as the stupidest thing ever.

Jarrett on his best day has never been anything more than a solid upper mid carder I always felt his Ain't I Great incarnation could have been a decent main event draw. Not to Rock/Cena/Brock levels, but to me it seemed more marketable than King Of The Mountain or Slap Nuts.

Hopefully a few of the smarter ones can Pillman their way into contracts elsewhere. Unfortunately I doubt more than a few would get picked up by WWE...lets hope NJPW, CMLL or AAA are interested

I'd swear, didn't I read a quote from Vince Russo saying something along the lines of you HAVE to work the boys in the back, because they can't handle knowing the truth. Or something like that.

TNA, you're upsetting Eugene! When WWE finally buys the TNA video library for $5 and a Taco Bell coupon, they should dub over Dixie Carter theme with Eugene theme.

Because a go-nothing invasion angle for the last fanbase remnants of one company and the first remnants of another is more important than self-preservation, apparently. If TNA weren't full of garbage people, honestly, I'd probably admire them for giving zero f***s and basically throwing it back in the face of the corporate network that's airing them. But...TNA.

So a company with no roster, no identity, no history, and no TV deal invades a company that has no budget to speak of and is losing its TV deal in September. The point? As I told Brian Mann and Nate Milton; if it worked once in wrestling, it will always work. That is TNA logic. Besides, you can do crosspromotions and not resort to "invasion" angle nonsense, especially given that one promotion doesn't have a solid TV deal and the other is going to lose its TV deal in 3 months.
