A lot of behind-the-scenes news and rumors that come out of Impact seem to imply no one there knows what the fuck they're doing and things are incredibly unprofessional in general, so I can absolutely see the entire scenario being rooted in little more than a dickwaving grudge by execs who thought they could get away with it, only to find that they'd bitten off more than they could chew.

Well, the company has been consistently owned and managed by people who don't know the business with occasional oversight from people who don't understand the industry. It's really no surprise that even when throwing massive amounts of cash at it that TNA would be run poorly. However, if claims are true, the executives almost seemed to want to get rid of Matt by fucking with him so hard during negotiations. It's hard to rationalize that they wanted to keep him when they were engaging in those kinds of behaviors. And, if they were driving him off THEN punishing him for leaving, it seems more like a personal vendetta than business. Makes you wonder if Matt slept with one of their wives or daughters.

Otherwise, while it's unlikely that TNA would ever truly compete with the WWE, it *could* have still turned a consistent profit and worked at a certain level. The current situation is a compounding of repeated poor choices by outsiders who think they know better than insiders (or, going back to Hogan's run, outsiders who put their faith in the wrong insiders)
