Impact Wrestling vs. TNA - Change in Style of Company

[wrestlingfan]

The X-Division in 09 was way better

Joe
Daniels
Black Machismo
Creed
Homicide
Suicide
Bashir
Kiyoshi
Sabin
Shelley
Pope
Amazing Red

If they kept those talents and added Kendrick, Moore, Doug Williams, & Kaz it wouldn't been a great mid-card division.

I started watching TNA around 2006-07(Around the time Angle went there).There was just something unique about it.The style,The ring,The talent.It just felt different back then.It wasn't WWE V2.It had main event talents like AJ Styles,Samoa Joe etc.You had tag teams like MCMG.Beer Money,Team 3D,The British Invasion.You had a perfect mid card title which had talents like Petey Williams and Jay Lethal.The Knockouts were awesome with Gail Kim and Awesome Kong.There were only a few ex-WWE guys like Christian,Angle and Nash.The Main Event Mafia was perfect.The story was good and even though TNA didn't put their talent over rather than the ex-WWE guys,It was way better than Aces and Eights.
But when Jarret left,The unique ideas he had for his company were crashed and smashed.Carter signed Hogan and Bischof.These two guys single handedly destroyed half the cred TNA had.They signed ex-WWE guys like Hardy,RVD Taz etc.They killed X-Division by letting go of Lethal,Amazing Red,The Suicide gimmick.They changed the camera style into something really stupid.They changed the gimmick matches like King of the Mountain,Feast or Fired(even though it was a copy of money in the bank)Steel Asylum,Three degree of pain and Monster Ball matches.In other words they changed TNA into WWE V2.
Although all their decisions weren't bad.Lesser PPV's and taking Impact on the road are two of the better decisions Hulk and the crew have made.
All in all,TNA has changed for worse.I still watch the product but i don't like it.I wish TNA could go back to it's roots.
You know what is the first step to do that?Fire Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff

TNA's main event scene was never better than when they had Joe vs. Angle. The rest was meh, but those were TNA's two best buyrates. They should've put the strap on Joe right then. Had they done that and implemented the changes they've made in the undercard since, they'd be doing 2.0 at least by now.

By the way: Aces & Eights needs to end ASAP. It's killing them.
