On a personal note, I am not one of those writers that hates Impact or hated TNA in the past. The talent is great, and they deserve the best. But, the problem has always stemmed from bad management of the company: bad financial decisions, mismanagement, and questionable creative decisions. Any criticism of the company should be solely directed at the owners and operators of the promotion, not the talent. Ed Nordholm and Anthem are just repeating history, and it’s the roster that suffers. It’s not right.
