I look forward to this chapter in Bryan Alvarez's inevitable The Death of TNA book. Hell, maybe Billy will do a great job and this will turn out to be an inspired move, rather than just random and bizarre. To be fair, it really can't do any harm at this point. TNA was fucked as soon as they started hiring everyone instrumental in dooming WCW; Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, etc.

So he's not wrestling in a speedo? Disappoint.
I guess you can say it's The End is the Beginning of the End.

Honestly can't see this as a bad thing for TNA. Might as well try something completely outside of the box rather than the same old shit which hasn't been working.

Great, so they added another guy to the 25 person creative team? I'm pretty sure their creative team is larger than their roster at this point.

Also, we've buried the lead here.
From the Variety article:
"Correction: A previous version of this post referred to John Cena as Tony Cena."

Immediately imagined a pudgy-middled, man-titted Corgan wearing a speedo and vinyl knee boots. So pretty disappointed

TNA has the greatest day it's ever known.
Can't wait for tomorrow when Billy takes the throne.

Bob Mould did it first
So he'll fit right in.
This-is-wrest-ling.
Ah man. I had "What in the silverfuck?" ready to launch for frontpage reaction posts.
Billy is a weird guy. His latest Reddit AMA with Marilyn Manson got a little uncomfortable when one of their answers suggested neither one had any grasp of the other's discography. I've also heard he's really religious now and even changes his lyrics in concerts to reflect this ("Because God is empty, just like... youuuuuu!", etc)
I can't imagine this will affect TNA wrestling in any tangible way.

If anyone tries to chair-shot him, he can disarm them with a smile first.
