Something about TNA makes people be dicks on social media, I’m sure JB is past that now.
Honestly glad he made it over, he’s come a long, long way from being Russo’s henchman in WCW, he deserves a chance to earn his place.

There's being a dick and then there's being transphobic and wishing for a fan's family to die. f*** Borash, he's ugly both inside and out.

Yup, could have faced The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Brilliant. Worse case scenario is he jobs to 'Taker at mania, gets his future endeavors, then renegotiates with TNA for a higher rate since he's ex WWE. Not the brightest of light bulbs. He used up all the lightbulbs bumping on them.

Spidey & Iron Man reenact the moment Triple H hired Borash ![](https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSeCNskHM9HG0wzIVwMgpzyuJNuAHnCdCNxf_bfWmxMwXhAx4fixd0cZz7P)

They also told Roadkill he'd face Taker at WrestleMania and told Bad News Brown he'd be champ if he signed. I'm not so sure the WWE was honest with him.
That being said, good for Borash on getting a job with WWE. Let's see if this is worth it.

It's OK, Ed's got a nephew that been really into editing Steamed Hams videos, I'm sure they'll be fine. Steamed Hams, but Skinner tries to convince Chalmers that TNA is still alive The aurora borealis in his kitchen is more believable than that

The one big downside from just a purely selfish standpoint to this news is that Borash going to WWE means he's going to be gainfully employed and happy and not trying to stir up shit, and I was always hoping things might end kind of ugly so that Borash could ring up every shoot interview production company out there and offer guided tours of where the bodies are buried. The stories that man must have.

I don't mind what is going on right now, refocus and get rid of the old wood. Borash did a lot for the company but it's not like it's in any good shape now so there was nothing that could be done where Borash could have helped.
He has done everything in this company and in many ways that is why it's a good thing that he leaves.
Impact Wrestling is in a mode that many sports teams find themselves into at some point where you have to let go of some long-standng star players and start the rebuild mode cause it's not doing well and the scars are deep.

That's true if he's been making the decisions or performing. A club might change coach or playing personell but they don't lose the groundsman who keeps the pitch in the best possible condition who also happens to wash the kits, organise transport to away fixtures and act as media liaison among several other jobs. TNA has major structural issues, BorAsh has been the one to largely keep them together despite that. They're going to need about 5 guys to do all he did and I bet they'll find stuff getting missed that most weren't even away he did. TNA can replace him, but to spin this as a positive is false. Borash was pretty much the one good thing they had going on behind the scenes.

Borash in many ways was the emblem of the past which they need to turn the page on. The company has become so bad that really there's no reasons to keep anybody that brought them there, that was part of it.

Borash was literally their backstage guru that got EVERYTHING done. And probably did it for a fraction of what they're gonna have to hire a half dozen way less talented people to do all those things. To listen to people tell it, Borash was literally the last bit of tape holding the boat together. You don't get rid of a guy like that if you can help it.

Literally no part of their failure was down to him and the only times he's been involved creatively were in the 06 run when they really started to get buzz and the Broken Hardys stuff which has been their only upside for years. He's the one part of the old company they needed

But sometime you have to turn the page. There's nothing wrong going in another direction with new people, Jesus. Let me present you to Timmy, he's a hard worker. Good for you. What is TNA now? nothing much. With or without Borash.

This is "throwing the only guy who knew how to keep the boat's boiler running smoothly overboard mid-voyage". It's a stupid move.

He wasn't fired. HHH was interested and boom he went there.

They literally just lost their last competent employee. It's bad.
