Eric Bischoff has posted a new blog entry over on his official website (located at EricBischoff.com). In the latest blog entry, Bischoff gives his personal thoughts on TNA after being asked to do so by fans for quite some time.

Here is what Bischoff had to say:

"Many of the questions I have been getting are of a similar nature-so I will give you my thoughts on TNA here. First off, if you’ve read my book you know that I believe competition is very good for any business and especially for sports entertainment. For this reason alone, I wish TNA well. TNA’s success in the long run would be good for everyone. That said, my personal opinion is that I have not seen anything yet that suggests to me that there is a vision for TNA that gives the organization a USP, or “unique selling proposition". Other than the shape of the ring (which doesn’t really translate to a unique in ring product in and of itself) TNA currently comes off as “less than" WWE. That is not meant to be a criticism. They are a young company with limited resources. They can’t possibly compete with a monster media brand like WWE.

Unless they find a way to be “different than". But that’s easier said than done.

There. Now you know my thoughts on TNA. Please understand if I don't respond to similar questions."
