Anyone else very unhappy with the way that the product is headed?

For me here is a list that is most annoying from just this 8/1/13 Impact:

1. MEM had 4 Segments, and literally said the exact same thing each time
2. A&8 got multiple segments that were unnecessary as well.
3. Literally this is the "how-ever-many" weeks in a row that, the Television title hasn't been defended on TV. (After Hogan made it a point to say that in 2013 the TV would be defended Weekly.
4. There was no mention what-so-ever of the Tag-Team Championship(albeit Storm was the social media link this week), or even the crappy ass challengers that supposed to be a title match soon.
5. They fell off of the rotating weekly "themed" Impact's, Open Fight Night, etc.
6. They made Jay Bradley job to Joe Park. Joe park should be the jobber for the hole BFG series.
7. Crappy endings to TWO matches, granted no-one cares about the K-O division.
8. 3 MMA fighters are prominently stationed in TNA wrestling, have these me already been trained in Professional wrestling? (Rampage's Knees on Devon looked a little stiff.) Who knows how many of these men caused Talent Cuts and/or even office staff cuts.

However I was impressed with the actual Reinforcement of Bobby Roode as a prominent heel, and the cheat to win tact was excellently performed.

I of course continue to watch Impact, simply because they do have Talent that really work, and work well. But alas, as much as these thing irritate me, its pretty simple that as a fan no-one is ever completely satisfied.

They retired the TV title a few weeks ago, along with the Knockouts tag belts

In no way shape or form, should Jay Bradley be winning matches in the BFG series. Its a joke hes even in it to begin with.

The only one thats getting wrestling training is King Mo, and he stopped doing that to focus on a fight a few weeks ago

The only thing I've been noticing since 2006 is that TNA is slowly becoming a degraded retirement home.

^ sad but true

No it's not.

Explain?

If the tv title was retired then why is it listed on the roster with a champion?
they gave Joe Park a shot at the title, when A&8 injured him Abyss made the comeback.

Yeah....TNA is late with that kinda stuff but have no problem removing talent profiles off their list in the nick of time.

Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Buff Bagwell, Booker T, Sabu, Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Kid Kash, Tatanka, Chyna, Mick Foley, D'lo Brown, Jim Cornette, Funaki, Disco Inferno, Sylvain, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Jimmy Hart, Orlando Jordan, Jerry Lynn, Steve McMichael, Chavo, Bully Ray, Devon... These are a few that were on TNA from 2006 onwards (some were there before and after as well, and some are still there).

Let's face it: TNA was, is and forever will be a WCW / ECW / WWE retirement home, until they decide to promote themselves better and get some good TNA-home-made wrestlers and get rid of those "Superstars" that just vacuum their already painfully-low budget.

Then they should stop turning down talent in Gut Check.

Thanks for the link Dead, and yes of course i know they are, i was going with storyline.

Jerry Lynn and Disco Inferno were TNA originals

^lol wut?
Jerry Lynn -> 1995-97 WCW -> 97-01 ECW

Disco Inferno -> WCW 95-01.

TNA -> Founded 2002.
._.

When TNA founded, both of them were in the company, thus that makes them TNA originals. Where else was the talent that didnt go to WWE when WCW and ECW closed, supposed to go?

He's not the "Pioneer of the X Division" for nothing.

Well Scott Hall was on the first pay per view as well but I wouldn't call him a TNA guy. Same would go for Disco Inferno.

Jerry Lynn though I would agree with. He was a big part of the TNA X-Division.

it seems to alot of people when someone gets released, especially from WWE or if their company goes under. They are not allowed to try to get another wrestling job to support their passion and families. If They are a WWE released they are forever known as a WWE reject.

 Thats because TNA scoops up or attempts to almost EVERYONE that WWE releases at any given time. Back then theyd sign a guy here and a guy there.

That is a rather unfortunate truth. People often forget that the majority of big stars wrestled in other companies than the one they're associated with. So many great WWE talents started out in WCW and ECW, and most of TNA's early roster were WCW guys that WWE didn't want, WWE guys that WWE didn't want, or shared with ROH.
