I have absolutely no sympathy for TNA. They've had wonderful opportunities and wonderful talent pass through the certain in front of and behind the camera. They have fucked it up for themselves. They have done this to professional wrestling. I don't even buy the "well, it gives talent a place to work" excuse for feeling sorry for them. The talent worth a fuck will get snapped up by WWE, ROH, New Japan, PWG, Lucha Underground (until they are bankrupt), AAA (until they are bankrupt), CMLL, Elite or fucking OVW if they still have a lot they need to learn. They will all have a place in the wrestling business, they just won't be wasting good years on a wrestling program where the perceived highlight by the fans is a wrestler who was losing relevancy in 2010 who has put a grey streak in his hair and talks funny around backyard segments, when everyone knows the highlight is Maria's ass.
Fuck TNA. Fuck them for allowing Vince McMahon's monopoly to grow -- because they are a big reason that most cable stations won't sniff pro-wrestling. I don't know if you blame Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, Dixie Carter, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff or fucking Shark Boy, but TNA could have been something and constantly said "No. We're going to be a steaming pile of shit." That reputation wasn't forced onto TNA -- they welcomed it, and they have embraced it right up until today, with "so bad it's good, right?!?" storylines.
I'll feel better when TNA is dead and talent can go work in places where they can be talented for profit.
