How could Robert Roode fire Eric Young if Eric Young had a TNA contract? He couldn't. Jim Cornette said so. This isn't the first time that a heel has ever been booked to be power-hungry and/or delusional, or just flat in the wrong. Eric Young's character is stupid, naive, and goes along with everything...so he believed that Robert Roode could fire him. And besides, since Eric Young was obsessed with not being fired from TNA before that angle started, who's to say that Robert Roode wasn't playing mind games with Eric Young that whole time just because he was pissed at him for not joining his stable? I thought the angle was dumb, drawn-out way too long, and boring, but it was hardly confusing. |

I always thought that Roode meant he would fire Eric from "Roode Enterprises". Which is a pretty stupid premise seeing as it's a fictional group within TNA of which Eric already has employment, but whatever. Who knows. I stopped following this storyline when Eric wrestled a match dressed as a giant turkey. Or maybe he was supposed to be dressed as the Gobbledy Gooker? Seems appropriate enough.

No, Robert made it clear that Roode Inc. owned Eric's contract and if Young didn't do whatever Roode said he'd "never get to wrestle in front of these people again!"
This went on until Cornette came out and said, "You broke the law by signing him when Eric already had a contract with TNA. We could sue YOU if we wanted. So drop all these threats of firing EY and we won't see you in court." Roode attacked Cornette and that's when the match was booked to make Eric "free."
That match of course SHOULD have been the end of the feud, but it somehow continued another two months with a mixed tag involving Gail Kim and a 'humialtion match.'
I will admit that the feud didn't make a ton of sense until Cornette interjected himself because, "This has gone far enough!" But I can buy that Eric was a clueless yutz and was too dumb to know that his contract with Roode was invalid.
