Rants

LOLTNA/WWE

By Scott Keith on August 11, 2023


So for all the jokes made about TNA, and alot of them are deserved, what are your thoughts about a majority of their homegrown talents being a big part of WWE backstage right now. It's crazy how many ex TNA people they have as producers. You got Abyss, Peter Williams, Eric Young for a cup of coffee, Samoa Joe was HHHs NXT right hand guy before his heart attack, Sonjay Dutt was there for awhile, Nick Aldis and Bobby Roode getting tryouts, they been trying to have James Storm in there too. Plus Jeremy Borash is clearly playing a huge part in video packages and other projects. Is it odd the amount of ex talent in the back vs ex WWE guys? Did HHH secretly wish to go to TNA or something. Or does Hunter have that many burned relationships that he needed to reach out of the wwe circle to get help?

I don't think anyone argues that TNA didn't have a lot of talent available. The issue was more that they were run by monkeys who were beholden to the Carter energy money and Dixie's questionable instincts about what the product should look like. Honestly I keep the Impact Wrestling internet channel playing as a default background choice on my bedroom TV because if I just want to throw something on for noise when I'm doing laundry or reading or whatever, it usually has a fine selection of matches that are perfectly serviceable and frequently even good, when divorced from any of the context that should have killed the promotion multiple times over.
