TNA Talent

[Snitskyman2016]

WWE does have some problems with undertalent but their TOP talent is way better than TNA. Cena is better (at making money) than Kurt Angle and Vince /TEVPOTR are better than Hulk and Bischoff.
If Jeff Hardy had sobered when his WWE contract was up he could have become the Cena level or even higher. At the time he left his merch was matching Cena.

That seems like fair comment. Part of the problem with TNA is their inability to create top talent. It's easy enough to push a heel stable and have it get booed but harder to push a face and have them get over. Pretty much the only Face they have like that is Mickie James.

It seems like every time they might be onto something they sabotage it: Pope got pushed and then was MVP'd, Anderson developed an interesting antihero persona and then turned heel and joined Immortal and then got kicked out, Jay Lethal... whatever happened to that dude?

I appreciate they are trying with Crimson and now Money, with Beer a possibility, and it's why Jeff is going to get yet another shot. It's not as though their established talent aren't prepared to put these guys over. They only really need one guy to make a splash and connect with a wider audience, because their midcard is really solid (cracky writing notwithstanding).

Also, the only guys on TNA who I would classify as "Fossils" are Hogan, Sting, Flair and Steiner. So they at least seem to be reining that in a bit too. I don't think they've even hired many ex WWE guys recently either (thank god, no Melina and Morrison).

another problem with TNA is they are so righteous in exposing and pushing their hardest workers when they're not ready to be top guys. That's NICE of them but it's not going to work in the long run. Only the 10% handful and diehard marks in the audience will appreciate it
