I was getting into TNA before Russo came back. Wonder what the company would be like if they never hired him? Is everything really his fault? Who knows?
They were doing their own thing, had some interesting angles and personalities, than splat! Decided to throw pot shots at a company they are not even close to competing with and got pre-occupied with that rather than pushing the right talent, and making titles mean something.
It is sad. They were on their way up, had an underground following, and blew it.
