MEM Or NWO?

So, there's a new heel faction in TNA. The Main Event Mafia is made up of a bunch of veterans looking for respect. I'll admit, at first glance, the assembled team seemed rather impressive. Further inspection made me realize that most of them are way past their prime and doing whatever they can to hold on to their perceived spot. Sting has been nothing but useless since setting foot in TNA. Kevin Nash has never been worthy of the praise and pushes he's gotten. Kurt Angle is ridiculously overhyped and hasn't delivered in any way. Booker T is flatout lame. Scott Steiner is not even worth a second glance.

Their opposition consist of "young up-and-comers" trying to advance in a company that doesn't encourage it. Maybe I'd be more enthused if the scenario wasn't so familiar. This isn't 1996. Oh, and can someone please tell me why the group we're supposed to be behind is constantly made out to look like the bad side of a squash match? It's impossible to get into something when you're led to believe the opposing team are jobbers. Vince Russo should never be allowed near wrestling again.
