It might be easy to say from the outside, but booking a wrestling show that caters to a fanbase doesn't seem like rocket science. The idea that wrestling fans need to be surprised, need to be shocked, this doesn't carry as much weight as many believe. Wrestling fans like stories to reach natural conclusions, stories that make sense and show them respect as fans, as opposed to insulting the intelligence of viewers for no reason. TNA needs to get back to what made professional wrestling great in the first place. Have the good guys be good guys, have the bad guys be bad guys, get rid of the grey area that Vince Russo so strongly believed in and tell stories. Tell long term stories that make sense. TNA hasn't done this enough. Again, Matt Hardy winning the World title at Bound for Glory should have been a big deal, but as he was thrown in to the match at the end of the build it felt more akin to a wet fart. Planning shows in execution.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
