Why is TNA so enamoured with Magnus?

I deleted the rest of your question because it is obvious don't see anything in Magnus. TNA does. I side with them. He is well spoken, has a good look and has worked very hard in the ring. Why not give him a shot? The business is about elevating talent and giving them a try.

What do you think of the idea of WWE finally dropping the goofy Santino Marella character including his fake accent and having him become the next Paul Heyman and turning heel and going on a rant on how angry he was for WWE telling him to try to be something he was not?

I don't see the fans every seeing him as anything more than a comedy guy. The damage is done. Plus, he is a smaller guy so it's not like he is very intimidating anyway.

Why is Jeff Jarrett leaving TNA for God's sake?

There are a lot of stories going around. A few people have told me that it was a situation where things had gotten to the point it was just time for him to go and he resigned. It is hard staying on with a company you founded and used to own, yet you are largely powerless in the current structure of it. TNA has moved in a different direction from what Jarrett wanted for it and it had become clear that coexisting just wasn't going to work any longer.

Do you see WWE bringing Money In The Bank back for Wrestlemania XXX and eliminating the PPV since now there is only one championship in the WWE World Heavyweight Champion?

It wouldn't shock me, especially if WWE moves most of their PPVs to the new Network. I like the idea of MITB at Mania because it makes the months in between April and SummerSlam matter a bit more. Plus, it would put an important match on the biggest show of the year. I also like that there will only be one briefcase now.

When WWE unified the WWE Championship with the World Heavyweight Championship, it retired the latter and carried on the title lineage and legacy of the former, the more historic championship. How come WWE didn't do the same with the Tag Team Championship (preserving the history of the original tag belts that 1971 instead of the new ones from 2002) or the hideous Divas Championship (again, 1956 rather than 2008)? Was the decision of which title to retain one that anyone put any thought into, or was it just a throwaway decision in the eyes of WWE/Vince?

The best way to put it is that the main Title matters to Vince while the secondary ones haven't of late.
