Jeff Jarrett is a dumb gently caress who thinks it will be a great idea.

Do we know who had the idea for the Sarah Palin impersonator? Maybe Jarrett just loves awful politicians.

I really do have to wonder if Jarrett is fascinated with hitching the TNA wagon to Trump, because when they did that stupid GFW invasion storyline a couple years ago, they also did this:

People are actually buying into Jarrett being a savior.!the same guy who almost sank TNA and has gone nowhere with this GFW project despite how he hypes things up. History shows companies going back to the same people with power positions in the past go nowhere. Knowing Jarrett he'll probably find a way to bring Russo into the mix and push everybody on his roster to the side once he signs more WWE names.

There's no way he can do worse for TNA than Hogan did (Who took it at its peak and sunk it) or Dixie (Who lost like three TV deals)

If this includes Seņor Benjamin riding a third lawnmower to ref the match it would be worth every penny that TNA doesn't have

Given TNA's peak was early 2008 and Hogan didn't arrive until late 2009, that is not accurate.

Unless you meant creative wise... then TNA's peak was in 2005.

TNA still had the roster to be good in mid-late 2009 but they were just coasting. Hogan did more harm than good. I can't imagine what Paul Heyman's TNA would have been but Dixie wouldn't let him have full creative control or something stupid.

After 2003 TNA pretty much always had a roster to be good until just a couple years ago.

They just had Jeff Jarrett in charge of creative for ten years and it was always bad. The buck stopped with Jarrett in creative for about a decade, he's the one the blame falls on.

Watch the original Tough Enough (it's on the network). He was always like this, but there was always a Taz or JBL or someone to keep him in line, which he currently doesn't have.

Which is really frustrating, because when Russo got ousted and Scott D'Amore and Dutch Mantel were booking, the show was pretty drat good. D'Amore would decide which matches would be best at pay-per-views and <gasp> work backwards from there.

Why is everybody in wrestling so stupid that one person doing the most obvious thing is remarkable?

I'm Jeff Jarrett. Explain to me how two or more young, charismatic talents putting on good matches will in any way stroke the egos of a couple of guys who were nice to me in 1999.
