- AJ turning heel to be like Ric Flair. AJ has lot a lot of fan appreciation and gained a lot of marks on the Internet. At the same time, it seems AJ has lost a lot of his wresting ability. We rarely see wrestle anymore, and when he does it's just a run in and a quick finisher. No setup anymore for who AJ is. While this turn has helped AJ on the mic, in terms of wrestling he's gotten worse.
He's gotten worse in the ring? Excuse me "Smark", but if he doesn't do a spot-fest does that mean he's worse? I personally think that him toning down his moveset and being a full-blown heel inside the ring is exactly what AJ needs. AJ and Flair was a genius move and it's obviously helping AJ in many different ways. He's at a certain age now, he's not 20, and him not doing all the crazy stuff he used to do is a wonderful thing. He wrestles now more than anything.
- X Division gone down the drain. A few months ago the X Division was starting to rock with Jeff Hardy coming into the mix. Not like the X Division wasn't bad at all as it had some of the best wrestlers around including Mr. Indy Chris Daniels and MCMG. Now all three are leaving the company. Daniels has officially quit TNA and MCMG are basically right behind them. What's next the Young Bucks will quit as well? Dixie has let Hogan have free reign and basically destroy the X Division. It also doesn't help that TNA Wrestlers are complaining about TNA on the air like Alex Shelly did on the TNA Spin Cycle this past week mentioning that there were no pads outside the ring during their Ultimate X match with Generation Me, but every other match had pads.
I never knew MCMG were going to quit the company. Didn't they just win a shot at the tag titles or something? How is that "going down the drain". The X-Division is spotlighted the way it should be. Two matches. X-Division guys in a tag and some other exciting contest. We see it every week. In the beginning they neglected them but now things seem to be moving forward.
- Bye Bye Hernandez. Why is Hernandez going to Mexico to learn how to speak and wrestle. The guy is a beast in the ring and he has been for many years. All of a sudden he's canned for a few months. He is no longer on the roster page of TNA, and barley gets any attention. WWE scoops this guy up if they are smart. Still you shouldn't be sending one of your best wrestlers away. That is just being a bonehead.
Hernandez is a big, dumb, useless piece of trash. He can't talk, he has absolutely no charisma (if you consider a mean latino face is charisma, I stand corrected). Yes he is a "monster", but TNA has a lot of people that can replace him. I never saw anything special in Hernandez besides his size. That's about it. This business needs a wrestler that can do it all, not a wrestler that can lift stuff.
- Knockouts Division. This is turning out to be just as bad as WWE Divas. Almost no point to watch them. Tonight's match really showed how weak the division is when they don't allow one wrestler to speak in English and than they humiliate her by not showing her wrestle in a match. Instead we see a commercial. Scott D'Amore is no longer with TNA so that can be a big reason why the Knockouts have been suffering. It goes back to Dixie as she approves of these matches before they go on the air.
The K.O's division has been nothing but awesome lately. They wrestle fine for women, the matches are cool, the chicks are hot, there's diversity, they have characters unlike WWE's Barbie Dolls. And Hamada not speaking English and getting beaten so fast? It's that LITTLE thing called gimmick? It was a fun part of the segment. They all spoke in English and then she speaks in Japanese or Chinese. I thought it was nice. And then she got beat fast - well of course she'll get beat fast do you want her to strip? Do you want her to take the spider? Do you want her to be the K.O's champion or face ANYONE at anytime? No.
- Wolfpac. Bubba Ray said it best, these guys are a cancer. I don't know if he meant that as a shoot or not, but it's true. Hogan, Nash, Hall and Waltman are a cancer every where they go. Why did Dixie allow to sign these guys at all, let alone the Nasty Boys a few months ago. We all know the Nasty Boys haven't wrestled a good match in maybe 20 years.
Now here I do agree. Wolfpac needs to go. Freaking all of them. Nash, Hall, Waltman but keep Bubba. Bubba is a golden mine. I hate his guts and so does everyone else and TNA should take advantage of that. But Wolfpac should die under the ring and never crawl out again.
And drop the Nastys crap, they're gone, move on.
- Releasing of Wrestlers who do not need to be released. Look at Creed. While he wasn't used often enough, he was a vital member of the X Division. If they were trying to rebuild that system, they would not allow him gone. The same goes for Melissa, Kong, and now with maybe Hamada. Your throwing away good wrestlers who can help you.
Well, why keep Talent you don't need? To pay them? Why? TNA isn't WWE they can't afford that. If you run a business and you have a couple of employees that do nothing - would you make them stay? TNA has enough good wrestlers. Too many if you will.

The fact is, this post should be renamed to "What I don't like about TNA". I personally enjoy the product to its fullest, yes INCLUDING Orlando Jordan and no I'm not a homo. It's new and it's pushing the envelope, it's controversial and after years of Morning Cartoo-...sorry, WWE, I feel like I need to watch something edgy.
