The last TNA match I can remember seeing had Vader in it. There is no-one that I would be "impressed" to see in TNA, but if I were a fan that went to a taping I'd find it pretty rad to see Steiner.

Watching that clip though was terrible solely because of that crowd. I guess maybe they'd just been conditioned to be really bored..? Also (as far as I know) Josh is supposed to be the bad guy, so Steiner is the bad guy by association, but TNA treated it like a big face return while the two faces panicked and ran away like cowards. So I don't exactly blame the crowd for being unimpressed. Again, I'm basing this on the little I've heard discussed about TNA, I assume Josh is meant to be the heel in this situation.

I believe MRT when he says it's Bruce Prichard in charge, but the fundamental inability to book faces as faces and heels as heels is classic Russo

Remember that Jeff Jarrett ran TNA's creative for 7 years and chose Russo to write the shows for more than half of that period. Jarrett's beliefs are pretty close to Russo's. Hell there was this horrible period where Russo was the babyface authority figure and he wasn't booking, but you'd never know. Jarrett is awful, and doesn't have much of a mind for the wrestling end either. He once told the X Division that they needed to move even quicker and be more like a video game.

Yeah what you've described doesn't sound far-off from Vinny Ru either, so it could just be Double J. They really are kindred spirits for more reasons than just 'the only two people who ever thought Jeff Jarrett was a main eventer'.

If anything can be said for Jeff Jarrett, you have to admire his delusional tenacity to try and get "Listen up Slapnuts" over as a catchphrase for nearly two decades now

Have we had: -PPVs where literally every match has a stipulation for basically no reason? -A random item (or person) on a pole? -A bunch of stupid parody characters? -An evil authority figure? -Characters that no sane human being could figure out if they were a face or heel? -The Womens' division being treated like absolute crap? -An "in" group that basically runs wild across the promotion even though it's less than 1/4 of the roster? grack fucked around with this message at 17:39 on May 30, 2017 |

There'd been rumors from like months ago, I think it was February or March when they signed a guy who used to help with house shows, and it was assumed it was just a matter of time before they did stuff again So hey, we get the return of empty arena pics!

Wait, they tagged the Staten Island Yankees, so I assume this is a pre/post-game house show like GFW ran? Also Staten Island doesn't loving count as running NYC

The last time TNA did this it was a complete disaster. Who thought trying again would be a good idea with literally 1/4 of the TV viewership?
