The company has yet to find its true identity

VKM was on a tirade to start a war with WWE ala D-Generation X from the late '90s. The "war" angle didn't last long, and we never saw much of anything substantial from the two performers afterwards.Back when VKM was doing its war angle, Jim Ross had made a comment on his blog responding to a fan who asked what he thought about the angle, and whether WWE would respond. Jim Ross replied with a statement implying that TNA should focus on its own product and build the company before trying to compete with a much larger entity like WWE.I can't do anything more right now other than restate what Jim Ross said in regard to the VKM angle. Its ratings are clearly an indication of that they rarely do better than the weekly ECW broadcast on SyFy, and that show is pretty hard to stomach.Even though we are seeing some of the younger talent emerge to the front line, and a lean towards more wrestling and less "sports-entertainment," TNA still has yet to produce a package that consistently makes sense. The company has yet to find its true identity.Bringing in Hogan has some positives and negatives. Almost a decade since the last time Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas stepped on the field for the Kansas City Chiefs, his spirit will undoubtedly be in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday against the Denver Broncos.Thomas, whose number 58 will be retired by the Chiefs on Sunday, sacked Broncos' quarterback John Elway more than any other quarterback during his 11-year career in Kansas City. He and his teammates would then, more times than not, rise to the occasion to force a turnover or three-and-out by the opposing offense.
