"What Bothers Me..." with Slick G


----Please welcome one our new semi-regular columnists for this site – Slick G. G always posts stuff on Trent’s message board and I thought I would give him a forum to express his feeling here. This column will not appear on a specific day or have a certain length, just when Slick is feeling the need to tell the visitors of RRO what bothers him, then he will send something along.


What Bothers Me - TNA’s way of thinking.

Morale seems to always be a big issue around the net when it comes to TNA wrestling. This wrestler is unhappy or these guys want their release. Recently, a rumor making its way around the Internet Wrestling Community was that Terry Taylor told some wrestlers if they wanted to go they could go. On the other hand another recent rumor says that wrestlers asking for their release from TNA have been denied.

What bothers me is why TNA would want to hold on to these wrestlers. The rumors are that a lot of these wrestlers that want out are X-Division wrestlers. If that is the case then TNA should let these guys go. These X-Division wresters are all over the indy scene. I mean be honest here is there a huge talent gap between say Petey Williams and an indy wrestler like say Josh Abercrombie? Is Shark Boy more valuable than Tyson Dux? Couldn’t Sonjay Dutt easily be replace by a guy like Xavier? Actually, if TNA were to bring in some new faces from the Indy scene for the X-Division it might actually work out better because these guys wouldn’t have the stink of jobbing so much in TNA.

I understand that TNA is trying to avoid talent leaving and becoming stars in WWE or ROH but I also think that TNA needs to worry about TNA and holding on to disgruntled stars will only be a negative for the company.
