Dude, that's how all TNA booking works. You book extraordinarily vague so that no matter which direction you go, there is always SOMETHING you can point to saying "look, this has validity, it makes sense!" Of course, then you have to leave out 7 other things that were said or done because this style brings upon a lot of plotholes. Well that and the lack of promo prepation. When you have main event guys who are allowed to ramble (I'm talking to you Anderson and Hogan), you may say things that you didn't mean to say but if we watch them on our TV, they will be factored into the plot. To start, do a better job of keeping promos concise and you'd have less problems with causing plotholes.
As for this Network story, I really hope for TNA's sake that this isn't true. I fear that it is though and you know what they say: "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice........."
I mean, wouldn't they have learned their lesson after the Main Event Mafia debacle? Apparently not, because if this is true, it means they went ahead with an angle figuring Foley would be cool with it and now he might not be? Now, either he's pulling a Nash and saying "i don't like how this story has been written and I don't want to be part of it" which would be bad and is a sign that your writing stinks (twice having veterans that understand good stories saying your writing and booking stinks should hint at that), OR he was never really approached about the story even though he was pegged as the guy for the role and in the meantime of doing nothing for the company he works for, he decided it was time to go do something else so that by the time he was approached, it was too late. Either scenario is bad and show the flaws in TNA management (provided this is all true of course).
You can look at things now and over the span of a few months, you had a major storyline fall through, a main eventer leave due to embarrassing the company by abusing drugs and performing under their influence, and now ANOTHER major storyline might have been compromised? This doesn't say anything good about the company and it comes off to me very much like WCW in that it's uncontrolled chaos over there.
TNA better find a solution to this "network" problem, though I don't think this story ever had a great solution. Foley would have been ok, but any person only works if they help get Dixie back in power. That's the story that's underlying everything so it only works if this person is working WITH Dixie. Despite what you think of her, they made her integral to the plot and she has to be involved. As long as she is, this can work. Otherwise, why the hell would a network employ a wrestler or former wrestler just to overrule decisions by Hogan?
