The whole Kevin Nash "a good big man is better than the best little man" or "...a bunch of little men" angers me tremendously because instead of building on the future, TNA has once again reached into the past to "spike" their ratings. How many ways do you want to destroy your company by being TOO freaking NOSTALGIC?!?

Whoever is in charge of writing this program should be shoot because, 10 out of 10 times in the past, "the little man" ends looking worse off than before the fued started EVEN THOUGH in storyline "he wins".

Most recent examples are:

Rey Mysterio - chasing the World title coming into Wrestlemaina he lost to Orton, Henry (several times), Angle and more! After Wrestlemania, AS CHAMP he was booked to BE SQUASHED by JBL, Henry, Khali, Kane AND loses to Angle in "Angle's farewell match"...umm ok he did beat JBL 2x, but what will be remembered most?!? In fact, Smackdown's ratings haven taken a MAJOR drop since the start of 2006! Even though Mysterio has ALWAYS been the top draw on SD since Eddie's death, his overall appeal/drawing power has been severely decreased since the audience (especially the strong Hispanic core audience) isn't going to support a Champ that seemingly is ALWAYS the underdog (yes Cena plays underdog as well but a STRONG underdog) that looks to barely get by.

Yes - I predicted that a small man, Mysterio, would end up with the title earlier in the year. HOWEVER, booking wise they have DESTROYED any credibility that REY may have had with the audience. It still shows that "size still matters" in the WWE.

As for Nash's current program, Sabin finally got a couple of good lines in, but that's after 3 weeks of Nash bashing the X Division and walking thru them after the matches. IF this program goes anywhere it'll either end up aborted (due to a fake injury by Nash) or Nash losing "by lying down and getting right up afterwards" and proclaim "I took one for the team" which is going to really kill whatever legs the X Division has...Personally, the right thing would be to have Joe destroy Stiener and Nash and look towards the future, but wrestling is so tied up with the past that that rarely ever happens.

Aother example of where the "loser" of a match ends up stronger and the "winner" gets buried is:

Last year's Shawn Michaels vs Hulk Hogan. The initial plans was a best of 3 Match (with Hogan of course coming out on top). Even though Hogan won the 1st match at Summer Slam, Michaels totally KILLED the fued the next day on RAW on 8/22 by scarcastically saying how Hoogan was a beast and that he was unstoppable...then a pause...."And now back to reality..." What the Heck - great job building for future $ matches.

Anyway - I just see this angle bring the X Divison DOWN and ultimately with Nash walking away the "monster". Unfortunately, the lessen here is to learn from the past mistakes, NOT recreate the same mistake over again. I hope TNA makes me eat my words, but the last I heard the Las Vegas odds maker are giving odds of 1 milliom to 1 on that happening!

Thoughts?
