Most of that stuff you just explained could also be said for WWE (Angles start and stop for no reason, pushes get derailed, cheap finishes to TV matches). Fortunately WWE has SOME beacons of light to make the stuff like that bearable. Also, they've earned the ability to not put on stellar shows regularly.
But TNA does this on a pretty regular basis. An occasional "misstep" happens in WWE, so insert your random "Sin Cara" joke here. But for every Evan Bourne (who was suspended with cause AND THEN got injured), TNA will trump that with a Jay "future of this business, brother!" Lethal who was merely shown the door because PONIES!

It would be like if Brock Lesnar came out to tonight's RAW, he and Cena have another brawl, Cena gets carted out by an ambulance and a shot of a laughing Brock over the announcers going all "MY GOD! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE WWE!!!" to go off the air... then we never see Brock ever again. No payoff, or even half-ass transition into something else. No "Wellness" firing or some sort of injury or life threatening anything. Just *poof*, no longer on television and never mentioned again. How many people would cry "WTF?!"

Now multiply that by about once every 2-3 months, and you have a better idea of the zoo that is TNA. And that's just one part of what I was trying to point out.

One part of the show that everyone brave enough to watch semi-consistently has been Austin Aries, and even he got the boot before. Twice. No matter how over he gets or even if he's still holding the X-Division title, I would not be surprised if they cut him from the roster again. If they have cause or not, I would just write it off as TNA being TNA.
