I thought we weren't supposed to be happy for people losing their jobs.
... oh wait, that was just for people who had talent, a reason to be in the business, and not only hired because of her dad?
Okay, carry on then!

Okay, carry on then! That's not fair. You can be somewhat good at your job if you don't have talent. But she wasn't even that.

TNA has made the most universally praised decision they've made since the main event of Unbreakable in 05.

I wouldn't get so happy just yet. If Hulk leaves, Eric is following him. Especially if TNA fires Garett. And the rumors about Sting finally leaving might come true if TNA offers him a much lower deal than he has been getting. Janice isn't fascinated by Sting like Dixie is and will not pay the big bucks. Honestly, I doubt that. When Hulk leaves, he'll head back to the WWE and they'll throw money at him because enough time has passed for their audience to miss him, while with Eric there's no guarantee he'll get a job there and even if he did, it definitely wouldn't involve his production company. He's basically a tv producer now, and not a hugely successful one, he doesn't have the luxury of being able to quit what looks like it could be a long term gig for his company because one of his friends or family members got canned, and lets not forget that Bischoff is not know for sentimentality, he's the guy who fired injured people by FedEx. As long Eric got Scott Baio and cable networks needing reality shows, he got options. He may not be able to go back to WWE but he won't stick around if sees him time is running out.

You guys care way too much about someone who has very minimal TV time.
Anyway, a good move. Obviously they felt Brooke's cross over appeal wasn't worth it. Who will the Nepotism rants be about now? Garrett?

I'd say Brooke could go into porn, but her acting is too awful even for that.

She was hardly a focal point. Most of the time she had a few minutes of TV time a week. She was a big part of Bully turning heel thing but even then she played second fiddle to Bully and Hulk. I'm not really a Brooke fan but I don't hate her either. She's kind of "eh" for me although I never did understand why the Knockouts needed their own authority figure.

LolTNA.
Firing Brooke Hogan is a HUGE mistake!
She's universally loved and great on the mic.
TNA just signed their own death certificate with this move.

I was just thinking today that TNA should really get rid of Brooke. They don't really need her right now and she's drawing a salary in a time when they seem to be tightening their wallet.

Am I the only one who doesn't quite get why this was done right now? This is typical TNA to me. They build stuff up for months on end and then drop angles for no rhyme or reason. Look, I know Brooke added little to the TNA product. That said, she was involved in the top angle in the entire company and at this moment there really isn't a logical way to simply have her disappear. I would have given her until BFG and then wrapped up all the storylines, maybe some match where Bully loses and she gets a divorce so she can marry the Dallas Cowboy dude, then the next week have her simply come out on Impact and announce she's getting married and quitting her position as Head of the Knockouts.
I know it sounds like I'm oddly defending Brooke Hogan here, but was there such a crazy rush that they couldn't wait another 2 months to blow this stuff off?

It's funny when you open a thread knowing exactly what someone in it is going to say before you even read anything.
Never change.
