This feels a lot more organic than the HHH heel turn. Because AJ is completely right in what he is saying.

I won't harp on the copying bit. Copying runs rampant in all media so I'll just skip that. This is obviously a story TNA needs to tell. Its fans are pretty hardcore, they know about the money and management problems, they rejected the MMA fighters, and they all know AJ Styles has been denied his proper place.
The up-side is Dixie finally did something entertaining. And her heel promo was basically what you'd expect a company president to say to a star acting like a prima donna. And Styles has been just that, a prima donna. He lost title shots for a year because he couldn't let his feud with Bad Influence go. He rejected all his friends and turned his back on everyone. Then he showed up a couple weeks ago, going, "We're cool now, right guys?" and expected it all to go smooth.
Yeah he earned his title match at Bound For Glorym but already we know Dixie's going to do what's "best for business," and link up with Bully. So we're gonna see Aces & 8's turn on Bully while he becomes a de-facto company man, because the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and all that jazz.
There's your October story: Bully Ray, the company champion with no friends, and a convenient ally with Dixie Carter. AJ Styles, the prodigal hero who hasn't quite earned his redemption. Dixie Carter, the daddy's girl/money mark who will throw money everywhere but where it needs to be: her own, homegrown talent.
Add your supporting players: the MEM, who want to finish off the biker gang for good and position Magnus as their boy; Aces & 8's remnants, fighting off their bitter enemies (Who might become friends?) and getting at their soon-to-be former leader; Ego, the trio hungry to prove they still matter.
Now your x-factors: Samoa Joa, overshadowed in MEM by the younger Magnus, with whom he's feuded before; Kaz and Daniels, who fuck with people for fun, and will surely get their licks in on AJ Styles, this time at Dixie's bidding; Bobby Roode, still feeling cheated out of his title shot; Magnus, the BFG loser who lead the series, until a bunch of last-minute gimmick matches blew his once-assured victory; Garrett Bischoff and Knux, who showed personality and spark towards the end of the biker storyline; Brooke Tessmacher, who might only be with Bully Ray because he's the World Champion; and Jeff Hardy, because he might not have anything else to do at the time.
All things considered, TNA has a very dense cosmology. Lotta ins, lotta outs.

I agree with a good chunk of that, however, it looks like TNA is in a world of shit right now. I am in no way shitting on them. I want them to succeed. I hope it's a case of the moments before dawn are the darkest parts of the day.
- Recent cuts: Not gonna reveal my source, but Brother Love has a rep of being a racist asshole. Great mind, but racist asshole. - The roster has been pared down to next to nothing. There's only so much you can do with a small roster. I might have been a part of this in my MAW days. The Knockouts are down to next to nobody. - Most indy guys that get booked won't go and do TV for $150 a night on a moment's notice. Especially if they can get double that with a payday plus trans and hotel for a date they can make within a 6-8 hour drive or if somebody's picking up the flight. Also, you can't book around that. "Hey, I have a $300 payday 2 hours from home that night..." That's "how about no" territory. - Although I loved AJ's and Dixies's promos, you can only pass through the looking glass so many times. What about the illusion of competition? - You also have Spike's fingers in the creative punchbowl. That worked out well for Paul E's ECW... bleh... - Getting rid of Hulk, Bischoff, Sting and Angle would free up some money to sign at least 8 workers to decent deals or at least save some money. Or both.
