She was a patsy until recently, wasn't she? She used to just turn off her brain and do whatever Jarrett or Hogan said. Then when she took full control shit really hit the fan

>hiring too many WWE has-beens
>not being able to balance your finances
>not giving many wrestlers they had and were good a real chance

>>2539900
Don't forget, paying reality stars and celebrities more money to go to their events versus their actual workers who work day in and day out.

>>2539871
yeah

>>2539908
Pretty much. Short version of all that shit is - not focusing enough on improving their product and putting money into it. And throwing it like it's nothing into other things.

Trying to chase being WWE or WCW instead of being their own thing.

>>2539883
she was a Russo mark and a money mark.

just threw money at old WCW stars and ex-WWE midcarders.

perfect example of a fool and their money

Trying to recreate a Monday Night War and getting their shit pushed in by WWE was really the beginning of the end.

>>2539961
Their worst move. They really shoot themselves in the foot on that one.

Fun fact: a regular show of Impact has aired at least once in every day of the week.

Major story lines constantly ending prematurely because talent keeps leaving and owners keep changing.

Aces and Eights was fucking terrible and nearly every main event ended with a shitfest brawl with absolutely no winner

So... WCW Lite?

>shitty storylines
>swerves that don't make any sense
>stupid match stipulations
>"fire Russo" chants
>hardly any ppv buys
>consistently lost money every year
>released talent like Jay Lethal to keep talent like Matt Morgan

>FUCK Vince Russo

The Russio era drew the highest ratings for TNA you pleb.

out of all the demands heyman made when they offered him a position, a more youth orientated product was the tamest and most sensible yet that was what they balked at. Joe and AJ wasted so many years at that fucking place.

>>2539865
How many dicks did she take?

Which meant nothing considering the money being pissed away and the low amount of PPV buys they got out of that audience.

>>2539791
It was the vanity project of multiple people from day one. see:

Double j sold it to Dixie mad props for him getting super paid but Dixie ruined it

>>2539791
almost everything that possibly could have

>>2539791
Rusev got a job there

tfw used to like TNA more than WWE around 08-09

>>2542861
We all liked TNA over WWE at one time or another. We all suffered in frustration as it made bad decision after bad decision.

>>2542861
X-Division made TNA.

>>2539791
This what happen when woman in charge

>>2539865
This.

It's like they watched a few episodes of 2000 WCW and thought, "let's do this." What the fuck were they thinking? The early 2000's/mid 2000's TNA was good stuff.

>>2541918
>1.5

TNA from 2014 has been a good wrestling show though, pity they lost their tv deals, because Lagana and co were good bookers.
