Could someone please explain how Roode got Eric's contract in the 1st place. I don't even remember it happening (TNA storylines/continuity are so difficult to follow)

I'm so tired of Eric Young. I was tired of Eric Young a year ago, and clamored for him to be "fired" when they first started the gimmick.
And now it's a year later, and they're STILL dragging out this stupid storyline.

I have a little bias towards Robert Roode, mostly because he used to compete in a local indy promotion around the Maritimes called Real Action Wrestling. So like anyone who had a guy in a local indy who made it big, I'm gonna support him.
The angle is kind of confusing I guess. If he gets fired, then he's out of his contract with Robert Roode, but essentially, if TNA wanted him, Jim Cornette could hire him back and he wouldn't be with Robert Roode anymore.

Yes I hate it. Mostly for Robert Rood cause he's got to be the worst character on that roster. Eric Young I actually think is getting better.

I don't hate anyone in this current storyline, it's just that I don't care about what any of them are doing. I usually turn off the TV when those 3 are on.

If it involves Bobby Roode, I probably don't like it.
If they are pushing him as a rich blue blood, then why the hell does he look like a hobo?
It pays to be Roode... when you keep asking people for a quarter.

It was boring cause TNA drag things out to much. I marked when JJ came out though.

I hated it before and after Jarrett entered the fiasco.

It pays to be Roode... when you keep asking people for a quarter. Yeah, much like JBL, Roode should've got shot of his scraggly hair & stubbly beard when he started this gimmick (I know JBL got rid of his old APA look BEFORE he became JBL, but you get the point). If he looked a bit more "refined" maybe I could buy the gimmick a bit more. He did step it up in the ring a little, though. And if Traci Brooks is such a great manager, how come she hasn't bagged Roode a title shot? Or even an iMPACT! main event? Jarrett & EY beating up on Traci when they're supposed to be faces makes for some uncomfortable viewing. Beating up Roode is one issue, two men beating up a tiny little 120lbs woman is awkward for me to watch. That said, Eric Young's performances have been improving a little. And, to whomever asked the question, there was a point when Young & Jarrett were quite friendly to eachother during the "Planet Jarrett" era.

It pays to be Roode... when you keep asking people for a quarter. I'll repeat it, because he bears repeating. Bobby Roode is not a rich guy ala Million Dollar Man. He's suppose to be the man who will "raise TV ratings, & bring in PPV buyrates". Think Whole F'n Show without the mellow vibes, Fonzie, & the pot references.

When Bobby Roode asked how long he had to feud with Eric Young, Jeff Jarrett looked at him, and said...
FOR-EV-VUR!
FOR-EV-VUR!
FOR-EV-VUR!

I tougth the Eric preparing to get laid for the first time bits at the begining of the storyline were mostly funny(EY and Borash buying condoms bit was hilarious), The "Ive got a friend and im not telling" phase lasted way too waxing long and was just plain boring but now they have finally uncovered JJ seems like it will be good...
Currently it keeps JJ out of the title picture and positions him on midcard where he belongs and it establishes him as a babyface, Its obiously near the end of the "contract" bit so if it countinues it will be a more standard feud.
And wile JJ migth have been abusive to Eric in the past they have established hes a changed man, Eric did point out "hes been a real help to me in the past few months", since JJ is suposed to have done a lot of soul searching due his wife's illness and JJ said "its time in my carrer to help others", there is no plot hole about that...
Regardless if we like em or not the program needs stuff like this and Nash and his X Division man crush bits, the shows ought to be a 3 ring circus and there is people that love this crap and doesnt really care for workrate. they gota give a little bit of everything to the various audience and they got to be stingy with giving out the wrestling for free instead of the PPVs...
I do wish Eric would be a little bit less of a retard, Maybe team him up with Petey Williams where they revive Team Canada as a face tag with Gail as a valet/manager role.

Bottom line here is that despite what you guys post here Eric Young is in fact over. Theye are trying to get Rhoode over as well but it just ain't working. It's better than Team Canada...hey what ever happened to A1?
