At least Russo isn't on TV, booking himself to look like a chick magnet title winning god of some sort.
I guess we can thank TNA for at least being smart enough not to allow that... for now.

I dunno, I think when your locker room morale is at an all time low and you're bleeding out 10 million dollars a year, you're about as bad as you can get without Russo booking himself to win the title.

Storm had his numbers messed up when he said that. They are not bleeding $10 Million a year, they are turning a profit! They are making up for the debt they have! Now they would be able to do that much faster if they got the second hour so Mr. Russo didn't have to go "TWO HOURS IN ONE HOUR CRASH TV!" |

Ok, well...money bleeding confusion aside I still say complete lack of locker room morale is a major problem. |

It has happened everywhere: WWF, WCW, ECW, etc. |

Yeah, because 30 second matches all ending in dq or run-ins and bait and switch main events everyweek are so much better than ECW. |

I'm sure they could be much worse off than they are. But I won't know about it since I already gave up watching.

Mike Tenay said Joe vs. Styles was a PPV-caliber main-event. 3 minutes later it was proven false. Also Raven vs. Rhino we did get robbed with too, though AJ somehow managing to completely fool Serotonin by posing as a stocky Pimp-suited Sub-Zero with an ibis mask without them noticing the weight difference was kinda cool. |

Were any of those matches 3 minutes long and ended by confusing interference wherin it's not a DQ problem unless it happens IN the ring? |

No, but it doesn't change the fact that it was something that was usually done on PPVs. |

Indeed, TNA could be worse off, but I do agree that they need to make some serious changes...again.
God, why can't mainstream wrestling produce at least one booker who can consistently write an all-around good product for more than a few months at a time?

You can please some of the people some of the time, you can please all the people some of the time, but you can't fool the WWE fansplease all the people all the time.. |
