TNA 2012: I'm In My Car But I Lost My Keys

 

Ah, TNA. You had so much potential. TNA was once a land of hope, where many fans cheered TNA, hoping that they would become competition for the dominant WWE. TNA used their exciting style and in ring talent to create many loyal fans of the company. Nowadays, the hope that TNA will become competition for the WWE has been nearly sucked away, as even diehards have had trouble defending the company's decisions.

 

But, let's go back to a brighter time. When TNA had a successful heel champion, limited stable and power struggle storylines, and an impressive group of hopefuls and established stars.

 

So, knowing what we know now, can we stop the ship from sinking? Can we ride a wave of optimism into long term success?

Bully Ray continues his damage, taking a table out, and putting Van Dam through it with a power bomb. Bully looks to do the same with Hardy, but Samoa Joe runs out and saves Hardy from Bully’s beating. Joe isn’t satisfied though, as he puts Hardy through the table before staring down Bully Ray.
