Now though, it just seems like yet another cruiserweight division, with barley enough people there to call it a division.
TNA has lost its way recently, and lost what set it as part from WWE, now more so than ever, it just looks like a direct copy sadly.”

Unfortunately Hogan & Bischoff fed Dixie the lie that the way to compete with Vince was to copy him. Bischoff still refuses to accept that as the reason wCw died. The ECW business model had proven success on a small-scale and TNA should have kept following it.
(Before anybody says, ECW did not fold because of lack of fan interest or demand. It ended because Heyman was a financial basketcase who wouldn't accept any help with running that side of things. Taking that into consideration, what they achieved in terms of influence on wrestling as a whole, to the extent that WWE had to adapt their programming to try and match them, was nothing short of incredible)
