In the wake of TNA "rebranding" and "giving the fans what they want", there are going to be a lot of words written on what mistakes were made and what have you. Rather than write some diatribe about those happenings (let's face it, it'd just be a bunch of jabs at Eric Bischoff and Dixie Carter and borderline libel against Vince Russo anyway), I'm gonna link you to a fantastically-written article by the Camel Clutch Blog's senior editor Eric Gargiulo, where he pretty much writes word-for-word what I think about the subject (excepting the part where this is the final straw for TNA... I honestly think Spike is happy to have the programming and will again ignore the product as soon as it rebounds to getting in the 0.9-1.1 range on Thursdays regularly again). Click the link and read it. My favorite part:Instead of using their television show and reaching millions of people, TNA Wrestling has opted to drop teases and angles on Dixie Carter’s Twitter, You Tube, and their Facebook account. Even the week before the first permanent Monday night show, TNA opted to build up an angle on You Tube which was viewed by 9,000 people rather than use their television show reached a million. Even this past week, Dixie Carter tweeted breaking news throughout the week between Rob Van Dam defending the TNA title on TNA Impact to the huge announcement. Instead of plugging this information on your television show for 750,000, TNA shot for the 16,000 Dixie Carter Twitter followers. Unless TNA has invested in Twitter, Dixie Carter’s obsession with using Twitter as the primary source of promotion is simply mind boggling.Oh, but hey, at least TNA was a top trending topic for a few hours on 1/4, right? Right? Bueller?
