I at least understand what Vince is doing. He's got it in his think head that pro wrestling is like any other TV show or soap opera; higher the best TV writers you can find, write up a script for actors to memorize, and follow the pre-written. I may hate it and think the product would work much better if it was done the old way but I get it. With Russo I don't get it. I often wonder if he is purposely booking angles to fail because he wants to hurt the product.
I don't know if you ever saw the OVW TV from a few years back when Cornette was running it but it was by far the best wrestling on TV. Anyone who live around Ohio Valley was very lucky. I have a friend that used to order the tapes. It was funny that a WWE developmental territory had a product ten time better than it's major league counter part.

I heard about it, but never got a chance to check out OVWs product. I'm not all too familiar with the TNA booking situation other than the fact that Vince Russo has a hand in things, but I'm hoping Cornette isn't on the creative team and just on-air talent because I know he is more capable of creating a better product than what TNA is putting out. I try really hard to watch it because they have a lot of great talent, but that shit is borderline unbearable.

Cornette has no off-screen role with TNA and is just another performer. I watched one of their PPVs once a while back, forget which one, but the PPV was worse than the worst episode of WCW Thunder I'd ever seen as far as booking goes. It's like every match has to end with some crazy swerve finish. Russo is such a twit, and when people rag on him he gets all defensive by saying they are stuck in the old days of wrestling and don't understand modern entertainment. It's not an old style wrestling idea that the more you see something like a plot twist the less effective a good plot twist becomes. Imagine if The Usual Suspects the 6th Sense had 5 crazy swerves each with in each film and then dropped the endings on us. No one would give a fuck.

That's a very conservative number. I'd go with 10.
