You look at Samoa Joe, who should be the TNA guy, and you think this guy's great, when's he going to WWE. Are there hot moments? Sure. Are there personalities to like? Sure. Is there a good work rate? Sure. But there is no TNA style, TNA persona or TNA brand. They had an opportunity to do this with the X Division, which is a totally unique concept you don't see anywhere else in wrestling, MMA or sports entertainment. That could have been their version of what UFC did with the Octagon but they diminished the effectiveness of their own creation. They had a totally different and unique look and presentation, and then tossed it aside like it was just another gimmick. For the life of me I can't understand why."
Everything he says is my vision of a great promoter. Damn shame how he went down. Inhuman how remains so humble about it. I think Vinnie has hitmen or something.
