Steven Godfrey, who for many years was the Director of Public Relations for TNA, is writing a series of columns at SB Nation about his time working for the company. The first one deals with the creative process. There's a great story about how backwards wrestling can be in terms of how one hand doesn't know what the other is doing and excuses that are made about that. Godfrey also voices his frustrations with trying to get someone that the online audience loved pushed within the company and how the more popular a talent is with the Internet audience, the less wrestling companies truly care about using them because they are looking at the "big picture." I remember when he worked for TNA, he was always big on using the younger talents for marketing and media appearances, feeling they were the ones that should be invested in long term. The piece is a really good read, which you can check out at this link.
