They're in an interesting place right now, in my opinion. They had a rough year, which looked like it might have promise. They did manage to do maybe one or two things right, with an amazing Kurt Angle storyline and The Motor City Machine Guns finally getting the gold and having an amazing series with Beer Money, Inc.
But they also made some really dumb decisions. They somehow lost their professional relationship with talent like Awesome Kong (who was actually drawing for TNA -- and they chose Bubba the Love Sponge over her), Christopher Daniels and Homicide. I'm a mark for him, I know, but they also brought in Sean Morley, put him over Daniels without having any plans for either, and that led to BOTH leaving the company.
I don't know how TNA can justify the EV2.0 storyline. It was basically something that didn't quite work as well as it could have for the WWE three and a half fucking years prior. TNA wants to be so different from the WWE, but there's nothing that really sets them apart. Plus, they're rather grab for attention than produce a good wrestling product, which makes it hard to get behind them.
The WWE has pushed fresher stars than TNA has this year. They really need to think about where they are going.
