Paul Heyman Rips TNA Wrestling
Paul Heyman was far from pleased with the way TNA Wrestling has marketed Samoa Joe since he won the TNA Title earlier this month.
"The live crowd, for the most part, loved the (Joe vs. Kurt Angle pay-per-view) match," Heyman wrote in his UK Sun blog. "Customer satisfaction with the TNA product probably reached an all time high with this match. And yet, NOTHING CHANGED!
"Why? Because TNA had no marketing campaign behind their new champion. 'Crossing the Line' was done by ECW in 1994. David Sahadi is a genius whose videos deserve massive praise, but the theme is the same as what he did for WWE a half decade ago. What public relations firm was hired to make Samoa Joe 'the IT guy' in today's pop culture? What marketing firm was retained to get the TNA name out there?"
Do you agree with Heyman's assessment?

Does anybody really care what he thinks is more like the real question. When will these hacks go away?

"Heyman is an idiot" is probably some mark trying to defend TNA, as he obviously has no idea what he's talking about. Just about any wrestler who has ever had the opportunity to work with Heyman would probably tell you that he is one of the most brilliant minds in the business and TNA, not that I'm knocking it, but they could probably benefit immensely if they had Heyman booking there some of their shows.
