AND STILL!!!
Absolutely.

All bullshiit aside tho, I don't like the way TNA keeps getting hoed in these exchanges. A business partnership is just like working a match: you have to work together to make each other look good.

If one guy always beats the other guy, it doesn't matter if you put on a great match, the crowd is already disengaged because they know how it ends.

Right now, TNA is Chad Gable: excellent worker with a lot of potential that no one expects to win a chip. I see they're building it to a crescendo where TNA finally overcomes the odds and takes back their pride but you have to protect them in the process or no one will care.

I read this with a magnifying glass, but I still couldn't find a lie.

The thing is that the WWE is purposely making themselves the big bad wolf, so that TNA can have their amazing moment at their biggest event. Let's be real Santana winning would've been a great moment, but the fans would most likely be chanting for a new champ come BFG. I was actually more disappointed with Jacy winning since it seemed unnecessary.

TNA is having this moment

I already pointed out that this was building to TNA finally getting their pride back, I can see the play clearly. The problem is that this approach isn't doing the job because it's not level.

This is an accredited national brand with its own storied history in the business getting crushed by the developmental brand of the #1 company. If this was TNA losing their World titles to like Orton and Bianca, this approach works and it's believable.
