Remember when everyone was talking about this being a great angle that would turn the company around and start making things more serious and interesting? Remember how everyone was saying this was a great idea and they were really going to do something with it? Boy, did you guys bet on the wrong horse. Not really. It has drawn better numbers for TNA(don't start with the 1.0 on christmas, houses are up, solid ppv buys and lets face it everyone online talked about it too, thus fan intrest). I never went so far as to say the angle would turn the company around. It's just been put together better than alot of what TNA has done for a long time. I am enjoying it and I think over time it will help the younger guys

Well it became less interesting when it was less of worked shoot angle (i.e. trying to do the New Blood angle right) and just another stable war, with a lot of nonsensical promos and booking.

I think the worst part of it is having their opponents, a group of guys who are looking to move into the upper echelon and make a name for themselves, are being led by Rhino, which completely goes against the philosophy of the group. Then you add Team 3D, which only adds to the burial of the other guys, like AJ and Joe and "the X Division guys" whose names they can't be assed to remember.

It's not like TNA introduces the main event mafia, and then boom, 2.5 rating for next week's Impact. Stuff like this takes time. Though as said above, in general, TNA's been drawing better then it's ever been.

His role started as a "these guys are right but need direction" so he gave them leadership. 3D was supposed to be added as a counter to MEM getting thier way every week. They did that. The a stable war should be booked and this is following that formula is one side comes out and runs roughshod over the other. The other side tries to cope but can't. This happened at first remember the first ppv they did together? They won out every match and beat down the other side. Demoralized the other side has to come back. They did. They were countered by the veterans becasue the veterans had the experience to manipulate the situation to thier favor. Then help came to the front line with Rhyno. It's getting almost stalemated now with the exception of the Joe beatdown. The Genisis ppv should seperate things again and give a different dynamic (by should I mean the bookers need to) Such as a defection from one side to the other. Otherwise this thing is gonna get old. I like it but that dosn't mean it should become another NWO and drag on for 2 years with the entire point being lost in the gimick shuffle
