For some reason, people never want to acknowledge that Vince stole ideas hand over fist in 1996-97. I mean, I realize the winner gets to rewrite history, but the amount of ideas Vince took from WCW (and ECW) back then was so blatant that I'm surprised he rarely gets called out on it.
So I guess what I'm saying is, if TNA found an angle or storyline or direction that suddenly made them a power in the wrestling industry, then Vince would probably jack the idea somehow. That, and he may start listening to the audience a bit more, rather than try to force feed them. Oh, and Cena would finally turn.

I think it's amusing that on the ECW DVD, Eric Bischoff makes the perfect legitimate observation that he didn't raid ECW's talent roster, because the wrestler makes the choice to move, he doesn't force them to, and also that Vince hardly ever gets any criticism for pulling all the hottest talents out of the territory system. This is hardly ever mentioned though. Heyman's response to this is to just call Bischoff full of shit, which uh... isn't really true.

I love that doc but I think it's absolutely ridiculous they try painting Bischoff like the bad guy when his argument's the one that made the most sense. and if you don't pay your talent, of course they're going to go to a competitor who will pay them better. that's basic economics. that whole scene basically reeked of "DIS BUSINESS" type hyperbole. Bischoff may be a moron in a lot of ways but I will give him credit for realizing that wrestling is first and foremost a business and you have to do what makes money (even if his idea of "what will make money" was ultimately off-base).
