Some of those changes were seen by fans as TNA going away from their own indentity, and attempting to create a "WWE lite" type product. The switch back to a four sided ring, from the iconic "6 Sides" was a symbolic gesture of what was to come. Over the next few years, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff's creative vision for TNA played out, with a number of "TNA Originals" becoming causalities of the new regime. It is generally accepted that when Hulk Hogan left the promotion, it was in a worse condition than when he found it. This alternative timeline, booking in TEW 2020 and made possible by Steesh07's January 2010 mod (http://greydogsoftware.com/forum/show... - currently in beta), poses the question of "What if Paul Heyman took over the promotion at this time?" During late 2009 and throughout 2010, there were rumours that Dixie Carter, and in particular TNA Impact's network Spike TV, were interested in bringing Paul Heyman to the promotion, Talks between the two parties ultimately broke down, but Paul Heyman would later lay out his vision for the promotion in interviews during 2010 ( • TEW 2020 Series Teaser Trailer | Paul Heym... ). His long-term vision would see TNA fire all but one of their over 40 competitors, and focus on a young, hungry and aggressive marketing campaign, built around the wrestlers commonly referred to as the "TNA Originals". AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Amazing Red, The Motor City Machine and Beer Money were all names directly quoted by Paul Heyman, and it is using this blueprint that I will look to book Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2010.
