The Board Of Directors relieves McMahon of "day-to-day operations"
Triple H becomes "COO"
Everyone walks out
The Board Of Directors installs Big Johnny as GM of Raw, strike ends 30 seconds later
Board of Directors sanctions a match where control of each Brand is up for grabs
COO Triple H over-rules Big Johnny over Brock's contract, lawsuits ensue
McMahon comes back and fires Johnny
Makes perfect sense! Monday Night Raw became TNA Impact so gradually that nobody noticed. I know it's silly to even try to make head or tail out of it. I don't know why they make such a big deal out of the management of wrestling companies, particularly when they do the same basic angle every time: Heel Authority Figure does Heelish things and favours the Heels and the mannattees boo them and the Faces have to overcome the odds and pay $500,000 fines.
I guess the only thing left for them to do (seeing as the Laptop won't be returning) is to actually make this mysterious all-powerful (when it suits the plot) Board of Directors on-screen characters.

I'd only ever want to see the Board of Directors as silhouettes in a dark, smoky room. With only hints as to who they might be. One of them would have Ric Flair's voice, but would wear glasses, unlike Flair. Another could be small and fat, but say things that someone like Triple H would say. Keep it all a mystery and keep it that way. Not everything needs an underwhelming conclusion.

That's actually brilliant MS! I can totally imagine that!
I know what V's saying. We shouldn't give a shit, but why is it so annoying still? WWE is still not as bad as TNA though. WWE cuts these corners more for payoffs that are worth it and not because, "fuck you, that's why." The "fuck you that's whys" are more for guys who make the company money and they don't care what you think

It's funny, isn't TNA's power structure straightforward right now (for the first time ever?). Dixie is the boss of the company. She appointed Hogan to run Impact. Overview of the Knockouts division has been delegated to Hogan Jnr.
I mean, wrestling companies don't need 3 authority figures, but at least we know what they all do. I don't think they've mentioned TNA's Board of Directors since that one time when it didn't make any sense to bring it up.

 This was the power structure before TEVPOTR was fired. As we can see he had inappropriate relations with the Board of Directors, interfering with and undermining Triple H and Mr Mcmahon, exposing the corporation to massive legal risks to Brock Lesnar Incorporated and Paul Heyman. |

Here is how a sane Fan would imagine the power structure, as you can see the Board of Directors would never be heard from because they are on the corporate side, not the entertainment side.  |

Right, the second diagram is how you would think it is. Why do the Board have any power over anything? In theory they would have to answer to the shareholders. But according to Wikipedia, McMahon owns 59% of the shares and 88% of the voting power. Effectively Vince IS the Board Of Directors.
I think they had a better grasp of reality when they had Palmer Cannon around (although I cannot remember what happened with that guy in the end). Having a network suit hanging the threat of cancellation over them and demanding more midget matches and Cena would be a (fake) real-world agent of power.

I can't remember exactly what the story was, but JBL was playing lots of ribs on him and he quit. So I think they just GTV'd his character. |

I would imagine Abyss's brother, Joseph Park isn't under any contract, he would make a good GM. We all know he stand up to a bully.

Joseph Park would be hilarious as a GM. Mainly because he doesn't know anything at all. Bully Ray somehow winning the world title on his watch would make it even better.

The Board of Directors are insane. It's the only explanation that makes any sense.
They fired a GM for allegedly fraternizing with a wrestler, and replaced her with a GM who married a wrestler in the middle of ring. And do they not remember Dolph Ziggler's World Title reign? Actually don't answer that

I love how Vince and Trips both informed each other they were relieved of their duties and they're still the 2 most powerful guys in the company like nothing ever happened

I know I'm not supposed to take that infograph very seriously, but doesn't the Board of Directors have oversight of Vince, not the other way round? Kinda like the Supreme Court?
yeah I know, stop laughing at me
