10 Reasons Spike TV Will Cancel TNA Impact Wrestling
10. Uninspired And Unoriginal Creative Direction
One of the most frustrating things about TNA for fans of the promotion is that every time it seems theyve turned a corner and have started putting forth some compelling television, they do something to colossally muck it up. The company was riding a wave of momentum with the excellent 2012 Bound For Glory series, Bobby Roodes title run and the ascension of Austin Aries, and then destroyed all those positive gains with dragging out the Aces & Eights storyline for what felt like 11 years. The path for TNA has always seemed so clearinstead of being Diet WWE, give the fans an actual alternative. Why would we watch TNA to see WWE angles rehashed, oftentimes less effectively? And theyve been doing it for years. Most recently, weve seen them try and recapture the Daniel Bryan magic with the Eric Young championship failure. And now were apparently seeing James Storm morph into a shameless Bray Wyatt rip-off. If WWE goes right, TNA should go left, but instead they go right also, chugging along in the same lane in a much slower, less efficient car. The many great workers under the TNA umbrella whove busted their rears for the company deserve better than to be painted as cheap knock-offs of the competition. And when that doesn't work, there's always another ECW reunion/tribute/navel-gazing angle that can be ran.
