Credit where credit is due, TNA really tried to take it to WWE in 2010. Changing the day of the week Impact Wrestling aired on, those calling the shots decreed that TNA's flagship show should go directly head to head with Monday Night Raw. Naturally, any attempt to eat into WWE's audience failed desperately.

Not equipped to take on the might of the McMahon machine, TNA's attempt to re-spark a 'Monday Night War' was over in just a few short months. During that time, Eric Bischoff was front and centre on TNA programming, but whilst he doesn't outwardly bash the promotion, Bischoff doesn't have much positive to say about it either.

Appearing on Main Event Radio this week, the former WCW and WWE star said he doesn't have any truly positive memories of his time in TNA. The only thing he can think of as a slight plus point is getting to work with the likes of AJ Styles.

Right up until 2014, Bischoff was part of the TNA system, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. It appears none of that four-year stint meant anything to him.
