This was the most retarded storyline ever.
Eric Young lost his job after losing a "You're Fired" match against Shark Boy.
The very next week they announced he'd be having a match against Larry Zybisko, who was pretty much sort of the GM at the time, for a shot at getting his job back.
The week after that he was sneaking around Impact and Borash had told him about last week's announcement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions raised for that angle:
1. Why did they book Eric Young in a match against the man who fired him, AFTER HE WAS FIRED?
2. The man who fired him was the general manager. Who was this faceless comittee that booked him in a match?
3. Why did they not call Eric Young and tell him he had a match?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now part 2 of this thrilling storyline.
Robert Roode is a very hot commodity and businessman. Tracy Brooks is his manager. He was pinned twice in a row by Eric Young, whom the people loved.
In order to get fan support, Robert Roode had Tracy trick Eric Young into signing a contract that states that he is Robert Roode's slave. Weeks and weeks of bullying happen. Eric Young starts telling people he has a friend.
Eric Young finally gets sick of Robert Roode and stand up to him, he gets beaten up and Jeff Jarrett turns out to be the friend he was talking about and comes to Eric Young's aid.
Robert Roode shows up next week on Impact and fires Eric Young. Jim Cornette appears and states that he can't fire Eric Young because he is already under contract to TNA (which reveals that Jim Cornette is an asshole for not stepping and helping poor Eric Young earlier).
After months of building this Eric Young/Robert Roode feud, Jim Cornette books Jeff Jarrett vs Robert Roode for the upcoming PPV. Robert Roode pins Jarrett.
Eric Young comes out again and says that the fans are his friends. Robert Roode comes out and says he's not firing Eric Young, he's just going to sue him. Eric Young wipes his ass with some legal documents and throws them at Roode. Roode beats him up again.
ONLY IN TNA.
