End of tapings.

Opinion: It’s hard to judge a lot of this stuff when it’s just text but I’m not sure how strong a lot of this comes off. I like the idea of a new beginning for the company as they haven’t had the best year but talking about how it’s a new beginning over and over isn’t the most appealing thing. As for the new champion…..isn’t bringing in a former WWE name and handing him the title the same thing TNA has been criticized for over the years?
