TNA Slammiversary 2015 Review. Unintentional swan-song?

Was Slammiversary TNA's 

unintentional swan-song?

Slammiversary has been TNA’s answer to WWE’s Wrestlemania. The event has been going for well over ten years. TNA is still here, beyond everyone’s belief, but its recent Pay Per View transmission of the show may indicate the company’s unintentional swan song that could well lead to TNA’s untimely end, for all the wrong reasons.

The show aimed to have an air of surprise, returns and nostalgia to maintain the TNA faithful, all the while neglecting to understand the very reasons why the company has driven its core audiences away. Now so are the so called talent. Departures, switching sides and break up teams all battling one another in sloppy programmes do not excel TNA’s fruitless attempts to encourage fan engagement on from this point today.

Slammiversary had lots of surprises. There were returns in Matt Morgan, aging WWE legend Vader, and former exiled company benefactor Jeff Jarrett. On the downside, the show had no World champion, no defence of the title and returned a new title which was simply the old defunct Legends championship and turned it into the ‘King of the Mountain’ belt instead. Re-christening a title from seclusion does not bode well for anyone hoping to be something more substantial. 

After all the absurdity of the title reinvention, and the match rehashed by TNA founder Jeff Jarrett, who also participated in the poorly constructed match, fans simply could not understand for all its lunacy, featured multiple wrestlers, sort of like a Money in the Bank thing. Eventually, soon to be later that evening TNA Hall of Famer, Jeff Jarrett, not only returned with a uncoordinated promo and watch receiving plaudit, gained the Legends, now King of the Mountain, title. Good grief. An old age match, with an old age ‘star’ convoluting his own former project of personal desire. Can no-one in wrestling management subside their ego for the good of the product? Apart from yours truly, seems not.

The Slammiversary event, for Jarrett, was a nostalgic pat on the back and a ‘keep all doors open because TNA is now insanely desperate’ return that attains no wrestling value. His new ‘thing’ known as Global Force Wrestling, is not now, nor ever, is truly going to take off and is set to be filled with more ignorance and ex-TNA superstars. Jarrett has set himself up for failure before he has begun. That’s not wise at all. Lose the ego. Be a professional. 

After Slammiversary, scores of TNA stars are set to leave, many by way of contract expiration. Ignorant stars Austin Aries and Magnus are set to jump to GFW as a last ditch attempt to remain relevant. No other company could truly make them work, to its standard, any longer. Frustrated hard-worker James Storm is looking to leave for GFW too, after payment issues and lack of direction to his character, causing his family issues to be somewhat an imposing factor on work choices. Taryn Terrell and Awesome Kong denied rumours they may be off too. Though their contracts have ended, allegedly. It’s a bit of a mess. GFW has none and will not gain any standing by shifting TNA stars to and fro to gain any level of stardom. Their tactless talent exchange programme screams juvenile attitudes of failing to work together for the greater good of its parent company, which both still have ownership in.

The show featured some terrible matches. The hype was there for the King of the Mountain match-up. Jeff Jarrett brought it back, got a Hall of Fame induction and introduced the title. Naturally Jarrett had to be in the match. It also featured losers Eric Young, Drew Galloway, Matt Hardy and Bobby Roode. After some lunacy with running around and taking time outs with nor clever direction and suffering skills in the technical ring, TNA founder, tonight’s Hall of Famer and King of the Mountain concept maker Jeff Jarrett, won. This was the Legends title, re-branded as new. You cannot make this stuff up.

The X-Division title was on the line. Unknown talent exchange from Japan, who has no role, was given the gold in his first run. Tigre Uno won the longly vacant title (over how many months?) against DJ Z and Manik in a Triple Threat Elimination match. It had a few flying moments, but was nothing truly special and filled the time.

TNA backstage favourite and idiotic, ignorant goof on screen Robbie E, in his tried out goon persona, defeated former pal and team mate Jessie Godderz. “The Man” Jessie looked hot, powerful and skilled in his technique. Robbie E was a comedy joke. Barely even good enough to be WWE’s Zack Ryder. It was a dumb decision which sees TNA further disrespect an fail to boost the growth of Goddderz, who should have been champion two years ago, when TNA was on the starting brink of failure, in order to save its brand. Instead it opted for some burly big homophobic a** in Bully Ray. His run, which insulted a live fan in attendance on sexuality insults, was a terrible one at best, that even dropping Dixie Carter through a table could not save. (Ray has returned to a contract as you read this.)

Bram defeated the returning brick of uselessness Matt Morgan. Easy on the eye he might be, but Morgan is talk, clunky and heavily clumsy with his interactions. He has not improved from the last time he left. No other company was interested in him. He hasn’t done anything since. Bram, however, was decent, but no level of interest was scored. A nothing match built on Morgan’s ‘shock’ return. Epic.

Ignorant ducklings Austin Aries and Davey Richards took to the TNA air to have a little bouncy bouncy moment on the show. Full of theatrics the two aging stuntmen of minor stature and heavy negativity everywhere they go as unprofessional and lacking grace fought in a minor battle which was better than all the other mess on the card, by default. No match should be like that. Aries defeated Richards after Booby Roode caused a distraction. Aries picks a stipulation match for their fifth outing in an on-going ‘series’ ending on main TNA programming shortly. They have already been taped, as was Slammiversary. This was Aries’ last TNA match in the company.

Awesome Kong and Brooke beat a bunch of Divas calling themselves a ‘Doll House’ group. That will play to the strengths of women as powerful figures in the sport. These little dollies, Jade (Mia Yim), Marti Belle (who?) and Taryn Terrell. Of course we know who Belle is, but the audience doesn’t and she accompanies Yim, thanks to her noticeability from the Wrestling Wonders Pro 25 2012. No other company noticed who she was, nor her skill at all. Kong dominated the match and put in a great show with Terrell, which while was placed as a useless divas, throw around match of silliness, had strong impact in the two’s attempts to make magic. Fans, however, were unimpressed and thought the standards were below average. Ouch. Another meaningless battle then. Kong and Terrell’s contracts are also expiring after Slammiversary, unless Dixie Carter says it’s ‘not true’.

James Storm ploughed through TNA’s greatest ignorance and bitter disgrace in Magnus. The vanilla block of uselessness and un-gentlemanly ways within the business, failed to create a interesting final show. Storm won the match, which suffered technical difficulties, after the pair, using smoke screens and pathetic gimmicks to remain relevant, smacked one another with bottles. Storm collapsed onto Magnus and secured the pinfall.  Thank You and good luck in your future endeavours.

Ethan Carter III and the bumbling oaf of ignorance Tyrus beat the equally ignorant Bobby Lashley and his partner Mr. Anderson. The only saving grace her was Carter III, who unlike his aunt Dix, has chances to go places, even though he has ‘the name’ to which fans recognise Eith for his skill, not Carter’s tosh. A waste of his time. He cannot carry the brand in minor matches with useless entities watering him down.

PPV Rating – 4/10

Men/Women of their matches – Drew Galloway, DJ Z, Jessie Godderz, Bram, Austin Aries, Taryn Terrell, James Storm, Ethan Carter

Man/Woman of the PPV – Jeff Jarrett

One again, two years on from advice, TNA continue to sideline one chance of real talent as a mainstream star in Jessie Godderz. With the right booking, the body to match and the charisma available for any side run, Godderz continues to be overlooked. At which point if TNA take too long, it will cost him and themselves a great opportunity. 

Ethan Carter III is also another chancer that can go to the top. He looks good, body wise and with title as well as having the background skills, bar his surname, to carry them. TNA again, miss vital options. It is purely clueless.

Terrell. One of many TNA talents out
the door, post slammiversary

The rest of the show was filler. High flying moments, and few ‘surprise!’s’ and imbecilic matches that went nowhere did not excel amazement. Rubbish stars, touted ignorance for press attention and not liking the press response when you purpose leaked details to get ‘good’ responses are as tame as they come. You cannot pick and choose the reviews that come, abused on your tawdry levels of idiotic production. You are responsible for what you put out there and if fans are also paying, they have the right to review, let alone express public opinion, whether you don’t like the bad words. It was better than average due to the announcements and feel, but that's all TNA ever relies on, and the novelty wears off, quick. Fans are not entirely stupid, but TNA seems to treat them as such.

Kurt Angle, it's heavyweight World champion, was not there as another injury was damning him. He was actually having a public "daddy-daughter day" as he put it, in Disneyland. TNA already had the X-title and Tag Titles vacated for months and worried another one would ruin their legitimacy. 

Maybe you should make the product better then? An alien concept to TNA, who have been making it up as they go along with personal interest than professional means. Get in the game, or you’ll soon disappear from it. You can’t have it all your way. What egotistical maniac thinks that is achievable?

Grow up. With it, maybe the fans will finally respect you. Currently the lack of maturity in TNA from staff, management and workers does not encourage barely anyone to spend their money on what they view is a tarnished company with no wrestling knowledge, credibility or respectability. No-one front or back is viewed as capable of ‘saving’ TNA from what it used to be.

GFW. The new age non-entity of wrestling promotion

Global Force Wrestling has launched. With it, the hopeful

prospect marred as a non-entity production 

After their announcement sometime over the last year, Jeff Jarrett’s new attempt at a wrestling federation was met by disengaged fans of the sport with promise. Now, one year on, after their very first show some two weeks ago, Jeff Jarrett’s promotional thing has slumped harder than TNA’s management directive. 

Over the year, Jarrett took a slow, steady and somewhat distilled approach to building his federation. That’s fine, something should not be rushed without severe thought as well as the fact a brand new company that delivers needs behind the scenes thought process. 

So Jarrett relied on his pals in the industry, ex-TNA stars and managerial friends, to give them a top job, unskilled, for their efforts. What was delivered was none other than a poorly stacked roster of handfuls of stars and a forgotten Pay Per View that screamed utter delusion. 

Mid-way through that year long process, Jarrett dropped everything after being offered a wasteful run in New Japan to battle ex-TNA top liner AJ Styles. Styles, who while on top with a World title to boot, has been more than underwhelming outside of TNA. While the offer may have been better at the time to dump TNA, Styles has not made any progress outside of the initial buzz as a free agent internationally.

After a tense year trying to build what Jarrett quietly promised would be a star studded roster with many in the industry keen to join him, he filled it with an ignorant ex-WWE steroid junkie, less than mid-card material, tag team jobbers and a paltry produced card that simply said below an ordinary show. He even secured the event in the backyard of a Baseball field, after a mjor game, to encourage productivity. Only a handful of people were scattered among the arena seats, worse than one of TNA’s PPV’s or House Shows and looked inanesly amateurish. It did not scream world wide or national contender as a new show, especially on its debut.

Many had already  mocked Jarrett’s ignorant promotion before it began. We didn’t. Though Jarrett began filling the show and its ‘affiliates’ as he began the final, hard push towards launching the event. Jarrett, who has stocked a few ‘all over the world’ national promotions he thinks are great as his friends to produce joint shows with free talent have been a somewhat ridiculous decision to  employ. 

Jarrett has already set his promotion as a nothing brand that has ‘anyone at any-point’ for a throwaway motion. Jarrett’s promotion simply is a non-entity.

Many fans have likened this to TNA version 2. They are wrong. This is TNA version 3. 

Since Jarrett left TNA on not so favourable terms being majoritaly bought out, he has simply picked up where he left off in TNA and has childishly attempted to relaunch a TNA on his own. The first TNA, when it did not have Dixie Carter involved as it has today, was not a roaring success either, it should be noted. This was under Jeff Jarrett’s managerial directive. TNA, to this very day, has not made a profit. It has been active for well over a decade. 

So why is this TNAv3? TNA is TNA. With the recent news that its broadcasting partner, Destination America secretly sidelined them with a safety option of hosting Ring of Honor too, Jarrett is TNAv3. While ROH is not under any level a TNA and desperately trying to seem like it can overtake TNA because of its idiotic slump as a promotion, Jarrett’s GFW is a pathetic third attempt wannabee.

Global Force Wrestling, whose logo looks like it was cheaply born in the 80’s and is not any level relevant today, looks to serve as a continuous embarrassment for years to come. Why waste so many efforts and fan hopes to produce this level of trash?

If fans wanted another TNA they would be watching the already losing attendance company. Fans are desperately looking for a wrestling alternative. One that is not TNA, or second rate promotion attempting. They want fresh, original options which also provide healthy competition to WWE. There is only one legitimate contender to which all companies snub, but think they can make it on their own ego. They fail to understand the direction needed and all make the same mistakes of pushing it forward. Hence there is nothing different about any of them and their insane ego’s convolute the product to which fans are not stupid enough to be manipulate on liking. Smark's they might be, but some fans are smart. Others are simply fans and even they are not cheaply encouraged to participate.

GFW is a public and ignorant embarrassment, scoring cheap people, old hat staff and terrible workers who should have been relevant 15 years ago. How is this current? It’s a joke. Though fans and industry experts are not laughing. At least not with you.

If Jarrett truly cared about the show and wanted to make it grow, hiring ex-UFC criminals and old hat TNA announcers with ex-WWE washed up ignorance, TNAv3 might have had a chance. Since now, Jarrett is producing a show from the point when he was let go by TNA and running the promotion as such. He is about four years behind already. He has also recently hired TNA’s terrible announcing loudmouth Don West. Yeah. That will make the company grow to new heights. 

For Jarrett, who is washed up with appearances and coming to the end of his professional career, is also ruining his respected insider knowledge as some guru or hero that knew what he is doing. He has exposed himself as yet another Dixie Carter and fans are realising that the pair of them where tarnishing TNA together. Jarrett needs to think, get in the game and remove all ignorance. If he thought about his hiring and promotional choices it could grow, yet Jarrett has set himself back a number of years. It is not capable of transmitting the image of a new, hopeful and outstanding wrestling production that has become flawed from the start. Some fans are already putting their own odds on how long it takes Jarrett to file for bankruptcy. Does Jarrett's company have a World title? Does it have adequate people to put it on? Would Jeff be the one to wear it? Does anyone truly care?

In short, the show is embarrassing, doomed and a pathetic non-entity born out of sheer idiocy.

Tonight, on Sunday 28th June, TNA produces its PPV Slammiversary. Jeff Jarrett has returned to the show, with an un-organised, free speech from TNA management as a 'surprise' entry. Also returning are the shabby likes of Vader and Matt Morgan. It does not scream now or never that TNA or GFW can grow beyond the point of self-defeat. As expected, the pair have colluded to pair up and use one another as talent exchange programs to do their own thing. Both fail to realise being unable to work together and separate with two new brands, both lacking on the TNA franchise old and new, make the pair a national and international laughing stock. It is again, a non-entity business. Jarrett, while bought out with majority stock, owns a fair proportion of TNA shares as an investor.

TNa decided to tape, yes tape its grand PPV. How embarrassing that they forget their own principals of what PPV is. Clueless. Then they leak the information almost a week beforre the show to get some interest from fans. Idiotic. This just exposed how sad TNA is to a) leak for attention and b) their lack of talent they think is going to encourage fans back, the one's who left because of this approach in the first place. You do not 'tape' PPV. Unprofessional.

Either way, the pair have entered new levels of embarrassment. Failure to work together to better the product, no matter how disagreeable the ideas, childish games of launching expensive companies like toy cash and failure to get the right people to help succeed their future, while relying on old, washed up names and company outlook with negativity cannot help the rocky road TNA, with its trailer hoisted pal GFW tagging along, travelling on. Where are the going and what is their goal? That's right, TNA don't know either. Hope for the best and see how long you can go before you run out of petrol. Good luck with that. 

Post Slammiversary

At time of writing, ignorant media blabbermouth Austin Aries' contract is set to expire past Slammiversary and won't be coming back to TNA. They have lost interest in the mini stuntman who has high levels of arrogance in the sport. He has issued plans to jump to GFW in a potential last chance opportunity to remain in the spotlight. He has failed to repent. Fans, too, are bored.

Ignorant ballbag Magnus is also planning to jump to GFW. If Jeff Jarrett had any sense he would dump losers that threaten his entire company growth. Dixie Carter should have dropped him to begin with, but failed. Look at her now. 

Oh, and TNA are inducting someone into its pathetic attempt at an 'Hall of Fame' wanabee thing. The inductee? Can you guess? It's Jeff Jarrett! Never saw that one coming.

2013 Year in Review Part Two: TNA

2013 Year in Review

Part Two: TNA

TNA had its most diabolical year to date. From a company that never turned a profit since its inception and the struggle to interest fans, critics and outside advertisers enough as a legitimate company, the future looks bleak.

Led by the most clueless lady on the wrestling planet, Dixie Carter has irked the industry more than she realises. Her naivety at running a wrestling entertainment company and assuming fan disinterest in her order of production is just 'heat' is one of wrestling's biggest absurdities. Worryingly, Carter shocked the audience tenfold by moving TNA into a gaggle of new disasters. In January she attempted to find a British wrestling star with Hulk Hogan featuring ignorant contestants in a pre-worked six part TV drama. She thought it was brilliant. It was a bumbling disaster. Not to mention ignoring warning signs and defiantly, or more so, stubbornly continuing with her brainless initiative on ideas, Carter hit rock bottom. With a lavish launch party overseas and flying British fans over to TNA studios with prize money, hotel stay and a flight, as  a competition winner flown over to the states for free was also plain ridiculous. In a time of financial crisis, Carter should have had more sense than that.

Continuing into the gallivance of Dixie, she chose to rename her company Impact Wrestling and more recently TNA Entertainment after falling with fans like a lead balloon.  Dixie copied WWE once again by attempting to go on the road with her travelling circus. For such extravagance, costs mounted high, and so, staff had to go. Dixie then culled a hoard of talent, being the operative word. The most humourous detail here was not Dixie's need to cost control. Fans realised Carter was out of her depth by releasing all the talented staff and keeping the useless ones taking huge pay packets instead. Her culls included scores of divas including Tara, rising up and comer Christian York and developing rookies Alex Silva and Crimson.

PR hungry Dix failed to act when lacklustre botch prone champion Bully Ray displayed insane levels of homophobia. The 'nicest female in wrestling' decided not to act and sweep it under the carpet, whilst keeping Ray as champion throughout most of the year in a lousy reign based on in-ring work alone. Ray famously sat himself on a table at ringside in a match, too. Carter swiftly reprimanded Austin Aries for throwing his crotch into ring announcer Christy Hemme's face mid year. After losing further respect, with the ridiculous #AskDixie chats on Twitter, Carter allowed useless staff in Joseph Park, Ray, Magnus and others to destroy the product from within. Now Hogan has finally left soaking up the purse, leaving Dixie completely dumbstruck, she even denied a possible attempt at selling the company off.

Now chasing the WWE dream, one last time.

The next option for Dixie may well be to sell, but the problem is who wants to buy an already tainted and debt swollen pothole? Carter should have found those people in wrestling who would be able to revamp the product with the talent available. She didn't and has thus failed. She even rejected a lucrative ownership deal from wrestling guru Paul Heyman at a time some few years ago when it really mattered.

In TNA, anyone can be its champion. Without any meaning to its lineage and the rate at which it packs off talent, TNA is more than troubled. Selecting tawdry and illogical choices as champions only further destroys the structure for growth. TNA's title also on its own merit, is rendered as a throwaway centrepiece.

So how can the company develop from all of its problems?

There is a way, but simply put, TNA do not deserve my input unless they wish to open talks and get me backstage. TNA's product has been stubborn, uneventful and outrageously abusive, and not in the correct sense. Jeff Jarrett bailed on the disaster after realising he didn't need that pitfall any longer. It is not needed, but is available if TNA move themselves. Of course, the offer must be high. This isn't essentially down to merely financial circumstances alone. That being said, TNA is a risk for any talent and is not a fully sound investment. I give it three years maximum as a turnaround period. That's being generous. I cannot foresee any sustainable talent on this roster apart from Jesse (Jessie Godderz) Jeff Hardy and to a lesser extent, Sting. Gail Kim and ODB are the only standout females. Kurt Angle will always add something to the product despite his next real-life drama. At least his heart is in wrestling, but such actions outside the ring with postmodern pop tarts for lame exposure makes the man lack credibility. Did such action help TNA's (or even Angle's) exposure?  

If all TNA can do is copy the national promotion and take from Wrestling Wonders to adapt storylines from ideas that cannot be implemented or performed well it doesn't deserve any respect. Once you respect the fans, product, industry and talent, the audience will support you. Until you do that, there is no value. Copying others will always cause anyone to get it wrong, because they simply cannot do what one other, who is simply, better at deliverance and guidance, than those unequipped with such understanding. TNA was adored for being its own space, granted slow, but grew on its own standing. Now, it is a spare pocket of mediocrity. If you can't think fast and get with the program, the program will be forever gone. The essence of this notion is apparent. Fans may still watch, but the former shell of what TNA was to fans has been evaporated. Fans have lost the respect and cannot support it any longer. That, is the worst possible response to any business model.

Jeff Jarrett leaves TNA

Wrestling's Guitar Hero 

resigns from TNA

TNA founder Jeff Jarrett has sensationally resigned from Impact Wrestling on December 22nd 2013. The former NWA World Heavyweight and WWE Intercontinental champion, who launched the company with father Jerry Jarrett in 2002, confirmed the details via Twitter. "On December 22nd, 2013 I officially resigned from TNA Entertainment. Thanks to everyone involved for all the fantastic memories! #grateful."

No further details were added as to why the former creator of TNA chose to leave. Jarrett had been re-assigned to working for Ra Ka King, TNA's sister promotion in India. Jarrett was rehired for the shifted overseas role to help hapless Dixie Carter after engaging in a backstage relationship with Kurt Angle's recently separated wife Karen. The pair married in August 2010.

 

TNA President Dixie Carter spoke on December 23rd of Jarrett's resignation.

Controlling Carter.

"TNA Entertainment, LLC announced today that it has accepted Mr. Jeff Jarrett's resignation from the company effective January 6th 2014. Dixie Carter, President, comment 'On behalf of TNA, we would like to thank Jeff for his contributions to the Company. We wish him the very best and look forward to his continued participation as an investor in TNA Wrestling."

Jarrett may also have been upset with TNA's direction under clueless Carter, who publically denied considering selling off TNA, which leaked online. Key figures in the pro wrestling business expressed an interest in purchasing TNA ranging from Jake Roberts and Max Waltham. TNA have been accused of holding secret discussions with the lead singer of rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, who already owns an independent wrestling company.

Frontrunner for possible TNA purchase.

Carter is said to be very stubborn and neglectful in potential buyers she could eventually sell to, as well as booking product. Jarrett has reportedly been unhappy backstage with the current direction of his 'baby.' Fans feel this is the final straw which will break TNA's back and claim the company is finished as a national threat to the WWE. TNA re-re-branded its name to TNA Entertainment, something fans failed to recognise it as after earlier calling it Impact wrestling.

Carter and her executive Vice President of licensing, Andy Barton believed they had 'conquered' overseas television by amounting stable viewing figures compared to WWE in the United Kingdom, among others.

Barton added -

"Let me give you a global perspective; we at TNA play the long ball and this strategy relates to the entire world. If we look at the UK market - we have pushed ahead of WWE there and our show is watched more in comparison to WWE week in, week out. Ditto for Germany. In the US of course, it's going to be tough to carve a space when there is already such an old and established brand and the same is with India.

Such movements don't generally work for everyone, but if you take a look at our wrestlers compared to WWE, we are more on the road than them."

The above bragging statement has lead fans to believe TNA is just as much a mark as it presents itself on air with programming making such ludicrous comments.

WWE is broadcast on Sky Sports, a subscription package for Sky television, which makes a profit. TNA airs on free digital channel Challenge, a channel which repeats old TV gameshows, which has been in its troubled seventh rebrand since May 20th 2002, totalling 13 years.

TNA talk backstage is to the belief that "TNA is bigger than just one man" regarding Jarrett's departure as a blasé throwaway release, inside sources claim. Fans have rallied to the understanding TNA has a huge ego that is affecting the product, stars growth, career prospects and that of falling into a bottomless pit. Carter's delusion of doing an excellent job running TNA has left fans fuming at Carter and TNA executive's insane egotistical ideology.

As the integral cog in TNA's wheel to keep it functioning fluently, TNA fails to realise Jarrett is one of the strongest glues that binds TNA together. TNA is a crumbling mess that has no relevance and is simply a throwaway catastrophe that many wish to bail on or avoid signing with to protect their careers. Those remaining have nowhere else to go.  

Jarrett, now a free agent, was praised by numerous wrestlers including Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, Samoa Joe, Eric Young, Matt Morgan and Zema Ion.

There were plans to have Jarrett return to TNA television throughout January. A handful of conspiracy theorist fans have doubted the sincerity and are hoping the statement is not a work for publicity.

TNA's attempts to capture pockets of the internet for favourable publicity is proving TNA are simply clueless and aiming to grab anything that is relevant. Yet, they fail to realise the biggest availability is right in front of them. Running around for pointless parts of the online world is useless and irrelevant when the one who can make or help you is ignored through stubborn attitude to reach out. The end result is your product closes its doors, not mine. How long you take, and the action of who and how you press forward with, are what burn you from those that could save you.
