Pretty much. When Sting signed it was the "turning point".. then when Angle signed... then Foley...

I appreciate that Hogan is the biggest name out there, but I highly doubt his arrival will result in serious growth of the company. TNA already has no direction, and with so many individuals with some degree of creative control, the whole thing will just be a mess.

I assumed they would have at least fired Russo but no...

"A few weeks prior to signing with WCW, I witnessed Hogan wrestle Flair on Nitro. Now strictly from a fan perspective, it was very hard to watch. What I witnessed that night was two legends that were shells of their former selves still trying to do it. Watching Hogan & Flair that night just wasn't right. In my opinion the bookers were just exploiting them to try to pop a number. It was a desperate situation and that's exactly the way it came across on TV."

Are you saying you would watch Punk fuck a bald chick in a porno?

I'm saying I'd watch Punk alone in a porno.
