The mass talent exodus that has afflicted TNA in recent years is very damaging to the company, both in terms of public image and in ring product. The losses of mainstream icons like Hulk Hogan and Sting have been worsened by the departure of hugely popular TNA stars such as A.J Styles, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Bully Ray, Velvet Sky, Chavo Guerrero, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin and many others besides... Frankly, TNA fans need to see some consistency within the roster. The company needs desperately to build new stars and keep them around for a little while in the process. Its been said before, but building the show around one singles star (e.g Gunner) and signing that star to a lucrative, long term contract really wouldnt be the worst idea in the world.
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
Latcho Drom,
