8 Reasons Why Billy Corgan Buying TNA Is Best For Business
6. A Fresh Set Of Ideas
Whether through Hulk Hogan, Vince Russo, or Carter herself, TNA has played host to countless moments that are so memorably bad they’d make latter day WCW blush.
How about the decision to let a clearly intoxicated Jeff Hardy wobble down to the ring and attempt to wrestle Sting at Victory Road 2011?
Or the many failings of Aces & Eights, and the massive waste of time that their “takeover” angle gradually become?
Or the Sharmell vs. Jenna Morasca match at Victory Road 2009?
Or Claire Lynch?
The list goes on and on, and while these ideas probably didn’t come from Carter herself, she is responsible for empowering the writers that devised them. Ultimately, the blame for letting these shambolic affairs come to pass lies in her hands.
There’s no guarantee that Billy Corgan would exert tighter control over the company’s creative direction, but there’s no way TNA wouldn’t benefit from a fresh set of ideas. If Corgan was to takeover, he’d be the majority shareholder, giving him complete freedom to run the company however he sees fit. This could be exactly what TNA needs, because as long as Carter has a say, there’s always the chance something will go disastrously wrong.
Furthermore, if Corgan does buy TNA reports suggests he intends on completely rebranding the promotion, changing the name, and starting fresh. A smart move, as “TNA” and “Impact” have become toxic brands with huge perception problems among wrestling fans.
