New TNA Management Plans to “Bury” Previous Owners On-Screen

Things have been ugly in TNA this week, with tons of talent leaving as new management moves in to make significant changes to the company. Now it looks like some of that ugliness will be moving on-screen.

According to this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Jeff Jarrett’s marketing push is roughly “Let’s Make TNA Great Again.” They’ll be presenting changes to show as a return to form now that the company’s founder is back in charge.

They won’t be pulling punches when it comes to putting down the existing show, either. Dixie Carter’s management will be directly criticized (whether or not it involves her name), with the general message being that TNA had gone “to hell.”

They’re bringing in former personalities like Konnan and Bruce Prichard specifically for the purpose of burying the previous regime on-screen.

You might call it petty, but in fairness TNA is working to move past some very negative image problems. Fans can point to good recent developments in the program, but most people still see Impact as the show that tried to compete with WWE but fell apart in the most laughable way.

Do you think an explicit criticism of the previous managers is the right call for TNA? Let us know in the comments, or on Facebook!
