Why I Haven't Commented Further on TNA's Big Dealings

I haven't commented on TNA's ECW reunion past the spoilers and the initial disgust outside of a random barb at Dixie Carter here or there for potentially (but thankfully not) costing me Tommy Dreamer at Chikarasaurus Rex. I'd say that I'm hearing everyone ask me why, but the truth is, no one has really asked me why I haven't commented on it. That's the reason; it's not interesting to me to see the self-destruction of a company flailing to ape both the successes and failures of companies past, and it certainly doesn't seem interesting to anyone but TNA fanboys or ECW fans of years past.

The funny part is, if anyone really cared about TNA enough to do more than flip Dixie Carter a cybernetic bird or make fun of them, there'd be a wealth of news going on, mainly regarding Paul Heyman. You see, Paul Heyman was definitely contacted by TNA. He's also definitely not working for them right now. You want to know how I can tell that, other than by what the dirtsheets are saying? Because they're running the ECW Invasion angle. You see, call Heyman intelligent, call him abrasive, call him bad with accounting (but don't ever call him late for dinner... har har har I'm so funny), but one thing that he is is forward thinking. With ECW, he reinvented the independent promotion. With Smackdown, he pushed ahead with six guys who weren't already established and was producing awesome TV. With OVW, he successfully built a developmental territory that provided the WWE with a lot of talent that learned how to conduct business from the best, the least of which certainly were Evan Bourne and CM Punk. I didn't need the dirtsheets to tell me that Heyman was against retreading ECW and for pushing ahead and creating TNA's legacy rather than having TNA be a second-hand memory bank for the stars of the past to shine while the future of the industry waits on the sidestage, either telling themselves that TNA will do right by them some day or counting down the days to when they can start over in FCW with a chance that they'll hit the big time in the WWE.

As a closer, I found it funny that one of the sticking points to Heyman not getting the job was his insistence on being able to hire and fire people. Dixie apparently didn't want to hand that power over because she didn't want people she liked to be out of a job. It's so funny, she wants to be Vince McMahon with a vagina, but she doesn't have the fortitude to do the things that made Vince McMahon's company successful. I guess she only likes firing people to show those paying customers a thing or two when they dare chant "Fire Vince Russo". Idiot.

This is why the backstage dealings of TNA are not worth wasting breath on.
