Moose came in really recently didn't he? I don't get this "he's a bad guy, now he's a good guy" before you even really get the sense of who someone is. It's all very convoluted. It would suck in a movie too. It's just not good storytelling by any metric. Where's the suspense? Where's the built tension? It's like BOOM, SPLAT, POW! Slow down and tell a fucking story.

Lashley returned to TNA as a babyface on March 19, 2014. On May 15 he turned heel. There's one. On January 16, 2015, Lashley turns face when the BDC betrays him. That's two. On March 8, 2016, Lashley again turns heel when he keeps beating down Kurt Angle. That's three. He turned three times within a two year period. That may not be Bella fast, but it's Big Show fast. Where is the stability? Where is the development?

Feuding with The Decay is not a good enough reason to turn a "fresh" heel character face, I'm sorry. You should have babyface teams lined up to feed to them, or whatever. The fans turning him is fair enough, because sometimes you do have to listen to the fans, but a better idea would be not running the gimmick in the first place, because you're going to have the neckbeards eat it up and then you're left with your nuts in the breeze because you've got this character that alienates fans of actual wrestling.

You might get the Grand Championship rules, but you seem like a pretty avid consumer of whatever TNA throws out. Don't you think people being confused by it is evidence enough that it's confusing?

The whole "you don't watch every week, therefore you can't possibly know how bad it truly is," argument is a straw-man. I can tell you that I do read up on TNA, and I can absolutely tell you why it doesn't appeal to me. It's not my job to continuously give chances to a show that makes itself so...ugly. And I'm entirely an expert on what I like to see in pro-wrestling. It's TNA's job to be good if it wants me to watch it more often and not get confused by the confusing shit it does that breaks all the rules of logic that have worked in wrestling for years and years.

God, I wish TNA would just try professional wrestling again. I got excited when they put the X-Division Title on Eddie Edwards. I thought "Hey, they're going to go with a wrestler wrestling again." They then had Bobby Lashley throw down the belt and now it's held by a DJ. Fucking wonderful, TNA. And no, I'm not going to actually watch that, because it sounds fucking shit.

And I wish you would just watch something before you make yourself look ignorant trying to dissect it. None of what you said makes any sense. Again.

There's an answer for every question you asked if you watched the product.

You claim it's not your job to give a show a chance blah blah blah. And yet you do with WWE. Just stop man.
