Is James Storm jumping back to TNA from NXT the worst career move ever?

I believe 100% that WWE lowballed him and offered him 50-75k. TNA lifeblood is the TV contract so they had to shell out to keep the name talent they had left and the ego trip of 'getting one over' on WWE. The report never said Panda, and Impact Ventures LLC has no subsidiares and I highly doubt Dixie set up a James Storm Trust, so the latter part is dubious.

I don't doubt the WWE part, but then it goes on to state TNA offered 2.5 times that. Which again is impossible in their current state. They have very few incomes coming in. They are barely able to make payroll evey taping.
Pop tv is not paying them any money for their programming.

They aren't paying them either. It works for them both mutually, Pop gets programming and TNA gets to be on Tv.
They share the ad revenue, and TNA gets money from their UK deal, their India deal, merchandise and finally their PPV's, which I don't think anyone buys either.

TNA Offered Storm two and a half times more money than WWE did. Storm took the offer to HHH and HHH told him they can't guarantee he would make it to the main roster, and he was only going to get the regular NXT salary. Not only that, TNA isn't on the road, and they tape a month of TV at a time.
So Storm is going to get something like 200k a year reportedly to go to Orlando Florida for 4 nights a month. I also think there is the problem that Vince HATES guys like Storm. Does anyone really think Vince is going to let James Storm be James Storm?
I prefer real personalities turned up to 11.....and two examples are James Storm and Bully Ray in TNA. Those two can talk there asses off, and one has got that whole New York ahole down pat, and the other the Johnny Cash redneck down pat. Characters. While Vince has Bully Ray in that stupid Dudley gimmick. I doubt Storm would even sniff the main roster. Which is a shame.
People crap on TNA, but for the most part they do a few things I like...they give guys bullet points and let them be their character, rather than writing it like some stupid sitcom. Even The Final Deletion, as crazy at that was, came out of the REAL history of the Hardy's. I would watch James Storm try to get his Bar off the ground because he is a character. The WWE version of it would likely be watered down.
I mean....250k in the hand vs maybe Vince dies before you get too old and HHH might like you?
I'd say it was probably a smart move....and if TNA survives, he'll have a job for life if he wants it. That ain't bad in the real world.

I think James Storm would for sure be James Storm in NXT. I also think the whole "Do you think Vince would..." type of talk needs to be retired. His second biggest show is headlined by a former CZW Champion who looks like shyt against a former male cheerleader and a 5'9 175 Irishman who can't talk and the kind indie shythead who destroyed John Cena's face and killed Sting a month apart. His company also has the continuation of Generico vs Steen, the Bullet Club, AJ Styles going over John Cena, Shinsuke Nakamura, an entire tournament of cruiserweights that aren't even signed to his company getting tons of TV time and their indie promotions plugged, a group of black men who come out with dildos on their head talking about eating ass and random 90s rap references, and so on.
If Vince actually thought like people thinks he thinks, Strowman would be the champion of both shows and none of the indie guys would be getting any of his money.

SWERVE: He's looked
as hell since like 2009, although he never looked in particularly great shape to begin with. All that beer catches up with a breh.
