As for my thoughts, TNA wasn't ready to go on the road. Just like they weren't ready to compete with WWE Monday Night Raw. But there are some things you never know unless you try. Just because you make a mistake, having the ability to go back and correct is crucial.
Now, all of this sounds great but I do think there are some things we need examine.
How committed are Bob and Janice Carter to TNA Wrestling? They are tremendously wealthy but this isn't the first time they've really put Dixie's feet to the fire. And if they're no longer "in it to win it," would they be willing to sell to another significant financial backer like Viacom?
Speaking of which, would Viacom in fact "put their money where their mouth is" and purchase the company?
It's an interesting situation for sure. I have concerns that they have committed some errors they didn't have to make. And now I'm rambling, but I'll go ahead and finish my point. In Eric Bischoff's book, one of the main things he points at for the demise of WCW was the creation of Thunder and a second TV show on the road each week.
One could argue no one knew as well as Eric knew how expensive it is to do television on the road. And if Eric learned anything, why would he not only recommend such a move but push for it when TNA wasn't even close to being at the level of WCW when they took their television on the road?

1) He eliminated the 6-sided ring
2) He created the "show refresher" segment
3) Created main eventers
We can debate how much this was Bischoff and how much it was Hogan as well as how much he had to do with the pushes of Austin Aries, James Storm and Bobby Roode but I like the way you explained your points.
At the end of the day I don't think I completely disagree with you but I do not give Eric as much credit either.

Stop it with this "grievous insults" against Jesus Christ. If you live in the US, you, like me, live in a nation where 7 out of 10 are Christian.
We have no idea what it's like to be discriminated against. Show me a story of someone that committed suicide because they were bullied as a Christian? How about a heterosexual that was forced to live a double life due to fear of being rejected about their sexuality?
You are extremely delusional.
