During a recent edition of his podcast, Chris Jericho discussed Vince McMahon’s reaction when it was decided by TNA that they would air on Monday Nights. This, of course, was directly against Monday Night Raw.
For those who don’t remember, TNA had a brief stint on Monday’s back in 2010. This was when Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were in charge of the show.
Here is the story from Jericho (via Wrestling INC):
“[Vince] said, ‘take me out of the equation. You can’t compete with WWE at this point.’ ‘It’s too much of a machine, it’s too much of a brand, it’s just the way it is.’ And he’s right. You’re not gonna [beat] the WWE.
You can compete, carve out your own niche, yes. But I also believe that [WWE] has now become entrenched in Americana, pop culture, and the world. It’s not gonna go anywhere.”
Is Vince right?

Speaking of Vince, here is the latest on a creative pitch made to him for Summerslam.
