From one company to another. Let's look at TNA. The start of the year, TNA had big names leave; AJ Styles, C. Daniels and Kazarian. That's not a good way to start the year but they pressed on and made Magnus champion. Some would say paper champion. But he did and was the face of the company for a little while. Of course he had his allegiance to Dixie Carter. Who was trying so hard to be the heel owner of a company. But people did boo her...loudly so I guess it worked...?
Now with big names leaving the company. You've got to get "new blood" in the company. So enters MVP and the wolves. I liked MVP coming to TNA at first but he changed from face to heel way too fast for my taste. Because Dixie was still around and she's still heel. So you have 2 heel owners? That's confusing. Who do I cheer for and who do I boo? I can't boo both of them at the same time, can I? I guess it doesn't matter. Cause now Bully Ray is face and he want's to put Dixie through a table. Ok. So you'll do that next week, next month. Nope they dragged that out as long as possible and I mean DRAGGED. It went on forever. To the point I didn't think that it was actually gonna happen. But it did. Thankfully.
Let's move on to the champions of the year. First I think that TNA was trying to do something different in early part of 2014. That's why they had champions like Magnus and Eric Young. Both didn't "fit" the mold of a champion but they let them have the belts anyway. Magnus is an ok wrestler but I think he had trouble connecting to an american audience. British audience he connects very well, for obvious reasons.
Eric Young, has been in TNA for a while. And I know that there are similarities between him and D. Bryan. But really there aren't enough to say that TNA was copying WWE by having EY be champion. They both have beards, but EY isn't using that to get over or have a signature look. Hell he had the beard when DB was "dating" AJ Lee. I think EY was champion, because everyone likes EY and thinks he should be champion. That's it. I was surprised that they made him champion for as long as they did but it wasn't bad and he had some good matches.
