Paul Heyman posted a new blog on Crave Online regarding the failures of WWE and TNA to build for the future. "Just a few years ago, Jim Ross would send memo after memo to Vince and Stephanie (and even to Executive Producer Kevin Dunn) practically begging the company to devote more time, effort, and resources to an active recruitment process, much like the NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball.
 


'If we don't address this problem now,' JR once said in a passionate pitch on Air McMahon, 'We're going to pay a heavy price for ignoring the situation in 5 years.' By the way, that was about ... oh... 5 years ago.'"

Heyman was also critical of TNA. "TNA has spent more time promoting the fact their ring is six-sided, and advertising the anti-climatic debuts of former WWE color commentators than they have invested in the discovery of exciting new superstars who can capture the public's attention.

"TNA-branded (an oxymoron if there every was one) headliner Samoa Joe turns heel so he can be the subservient second banana to former WWE main eventer Kurt Angle on TNA's television show. Then, Joe does nothing to make the audience hate him. Nothing to make the audience view him with contempt.

"Nothing to make the audience have disdain for his character. Nothing to make the TNA fan base want to pay to see him get his ass kicked, his face smashed, his shoulders pinned to the mat." To read the full blog, visit the Heyman Hustle website.

Powell's POV: Heyman also had a great line about someone moving in with Jeff Jarrett. It's another great read from Heyman that addresses the problem that both companies have been ignoring for far too long. Plus, Heyman also wrote about the debut of Dragon Gate USA, which takes place tomorrow night in Philadelphia, Pa.
