TNA finally explains the plan behind 'They' and the takeover of TNA

 PPVs can mark the end or the beginning of storylines. For TNA, Bound For Glory is their biggest PPV of the year. It's their WrestleMania, where most storylines conclude and a new cycle of feuds and angles begin. At this year's Bound For Glory, TNA revealed that Hogan, Bischoff, Jarrett, Abyss, and Jeff Hardy were "They". After months of "build-up", TNA delivered their payoff.

Now, I wasn't a fan of this grouping of personalities. And, I still think they dropped the ball on the "They" storyline. However, TNA finally gave some logical explanation as to how this all evolved. On tonight's (10/21) episode of TNA Reaction, TNA spent the entire 1 hour episode explaining how and why "They" originated and their partnership with Ric Flair's "Fourtune". And, for the record, I found it satisfying. I only wish they would have done this on the PPV and/or TNA Impact. These shows are designed for this explanation. It shouldn't take a secondary show to cover these details.

In short, Hogan, Abyss, Bischoff, Jarrett, and Fourtune all had one common enemy and that was Dixie Carter. This hatred for her became the bond that brought these wrestlers together. Jeff Hardy more or less joined because of Dixie Carter and EV2 in addition to his frustrations with the fans and RVD.

I give credit to TNA for tying in everything that has happened since Hogan's arrival. It's what alot of us critics complain about with the WWE. They seem to frequently, and conveniently, forget their history when it suits them. TNA broke it down step by step as to how everything evolved.

Despite not liking the grouping of "They", and their lack of creativity with the "swerve" or "takeover", I give TNA an A+ on finally giving a semi-logical reason behind all of this. I only hope that this storyline can take TNA to a higher level. But I won't hold my breath on it.
