I shudder at the thought of AJ in A&8. Then again, I reckon most in TNA probably do.
Yes, an indy with a loyal fan base running a monthly show may not be a fair comparison so TNA's sparse house show crowds. But TNA has 2 hours of national prime time TV, had the backing of national media companies, big names, etc. All of those assets at its disposal, and well a dead house show business to show for it. The premise stands for itself on indy shows outdrawing TNA. A more direct comparison is ROH, which tours on a somewhat national scale and outdraws TNA.
On a related note, I did listen to Corgan speak on Jericho's podcast. Once those two got done playing footsie with each other, I found Corgan to be intelligent and articulate. He should be a handy guy for character development. Beyond that he spoke in generalities and said little of substance. I am curious if TNA used more thoughtful individuals in its creative, and less Russo and whomever else been their booker for the last 6 or so years, what place TNA would be.
In all fairness, I am not just picking on TNA. WWE seems to have issues figuring out how to tell a simple story, ROH seems unwilling to want to grow too much, and Chikara is the victim of its founder's ego.
