This issue with "putting WWE talent over homegrown" is blown way out of proportion IMO. Whichever way you look at it RVD is a TNA talent. They'd be crazy not to use him in full capacity. He is over, can still go in the ring, etc.
It's the like the reverse of people moaning that "Vince is using _______ right cos he made his name outside of WWE".
As for an over-crowded Title scene, Angle is taking time off, Sting-Jarrett don't seem to be involved in the title picture. Nor does Morgan.
If anything the title picture looks more like RVD, Jeff Hardy, AJ, Pope and probably now Joe and Anderson. With the likes of Sting, Jarrett, Flair, Abyss and 2 of those previously mentioned working ME programmes away from the belt.
That looks pretty good to me - if a little light on homegrown talent.
I think the situation with Raw was a major catalyst for TNA putting out these "PPV quality matches" and switching the title.
