Yeah it was mentioned when he was discovered to be bischoffs son.. TNA didn't try to pretend like it never happened, which thye could have easily done.. I beleive it was part of a storyline why he was used as a ref.

Yes, it was sort of a big deal at the time because Garrett was hired without a large portion of the roster knowing he was EB's son. He was brought in as a real ref though and served in that role for like a year I believe. I think they started turning it into a story once people found out.
Garrett Bischoff is still the biggest waste of roster space on earth. TNA has limited air time and the spot just isn't going to someone deserving imo. Christian York, Joey Ryan, and I'd take more airtime from all of Crimson, Gunner and Matt Morgan over him and I don't even like any of those guys. Just a political travesty.

And you don't think it was just a little bit suspicious that 'Jackson James'' first ref job was the main event of Final Resolution 2010, Morgan vs Hardy for the title? As if TNA would select a rookie ref, who isn't even a real ref, to officiate a main event match for the world title on his first ever job? Plus during the match Morgan pinned Jeff and Garrett incorrectly called a kickout just because Jeff moved his leg, despite the fact his shoulders were still on the mat. Even the commentators saw it and commented on it, which led to speculation this was in fact a spot, which was later explained back in october '11 when Garrett was revealed as the ref. So I doubt it was TNA 'deciding to reveal it' after the information was leaked as per his true identity. Hell I found out who he was a month after that match on news websites, so it wasn't like it was kept hush hush. However everything you said about Garrett I completely 100% agree with. |

He botched. A lot. like, he really  ed up some calls... It was also drunken hardy's fault (like putting your foot on the referee to kick out). although it was never referenced later that he was basically Nick Patrick during the NWO days. |

As others have said... Yeah, that was kind of the point.

Most wrestlers are involved in some capacity ... usually its not ref. but it can be. I think they are trying to get Terren Terrell to do that. She watches and learns etc...

I have never been a fan of Garrett Bischoff/Jackson James. The guy is a waste of TV time. Same with Wes Brisco.
