TNA doesn't seem to have a solid grasp of what they're doing. When they signed Angle and Christian, I felt like they had two guys with a lot left in the tank to contribute in building their future stars like AJ Styles, and the incoming Samoa Joe.
They also still had Jarrett, another good, if not spectacular hand to have in your main event and upper mid card to help build up your young guys. Then, none of that ever happened.
The way they handled Joe early on was amazing. He was an unstoppable fucking beast. They somehow managed to fuck that up. AJ Styles should have been their cornerstone, but that went nowhere and now he's gone, when he should be their John Cena.
Feel like if TNA just focused, and returned focus to making new stars with the old ones they had, and used decisive booking, they could legitimately build up their fanbase and become a very respectable number 2 promotion.
Signing guys like Sting, Flair, Foley, Hogan, Bischoff, Angle, Nash, Hall, Booker T, Steiner, etc have done nothing for the company.
JR has said it quite a few times, but bloody, racey, provocative material doesn't equal good material. There's a huge difference. TNA doesn't need any of that shit to distance themselves as an alternative. They need to realize the future is the young guys who they have on their roster.
I will give them credit, Bully Ray was a brilliant idea, and what I have seen from his has been great. That's what they need to keep doing. Building new main eventers from scrap, or finding a way to repackage older guys and turn them into main eventers for their company.
