What TNA/Impact Wrestling needs to do!

[HCollins-TNA1]

I think we have one of these threads ever month, maybe 2 or 3 times a month.....
Here some ideas I been thinking that could help TNA improve.....

1. Take the PPVs on the road get them out of Orlando a change of scenery!!!
2. Have Impact Live instead of taped, even move it to another maybe and preferably Tuesdays, for surely not head to head with Raw...
3. Secondary program a B and C show..... They have Xplosion bring it to TV in the United States on Thursdays or Saturdays or Sundays... Even a review show combine it into a 2 hour show with Spin Cycle and several exclusive matches...
4. More road Impact shows and Live preferably after Pay-per-views, I can understand staying Orlando to save money with travel and etc, but why not road show esp after a PPV??
5. Sign younger talent, and make them the stars of tomorrow.... usually with younger talent the pay is less...
6. Get rid of certain guys, not naming none, cause only a few I see cost more to have then not to have..
7. Inavative, something wrestling has lacked the past few years..... The Bound For Glory Series was great, The Wild Card Tag team Tournament was great, look for the next concept match or concept idea....
8. Look for that one star rather there in TNA or wrestling elsewhere and do all to bring them..... TNA hasn't really had a big name jump in for a while, and it don't look like it going to happen for a while!!!

As always thoughts and opinions please, or even suggest your own ideas....

Good blog. I do disagree with you on a few fronts though. I don't think they need a B show simply because they don't have the starpower nor the ratings to pull that off. Hell, the big 'E had to stop broadcasting Superstars, ECW, NXT, and before that Heat and Velocity. They would certainly benefit from more live shows and every time I've seen a live broadcast from somewhere outside the Impact Zone, it's been a fine success. I'm not totally into too many concepts, as that's failed with them far too many times in the past, although as you said the past few times have been nice (BFG, wild card tag team) I certainly see Austin Aries being a guy that the company could build itself around, as well as Roode and Storm. Good blog though.

Tna needs to sign other talent ( Benjamin hass masters carlito) who could wrestle week In week out instead of flair/hogan

If it was me, i would try to be different than wwe. I would have only 6 ppvs a year and then have a 3 hour ppv style broadcasting on Spike TV on

months that do not have a PPV. I would create another brand that is strictly X Division wrestlers.

[monctonvike]

I would reduce the ppv's from 12 to 10. I would hold the other two for free on spike tv, on a sunday night. I would make sure this outside of football season, for the freebies. Those free ppv everyone better be on there game. As the would be an infomercial for the the real ppv's and why they are great so to speak.

RVD, and mr anderson I would job out as it looks like they are on the way out. Maybe put them in the tv title picture. Sting I would use less and try and make it a big deal when he wrestles. I wouldn't let sting be the superman face either, more of a special thing where he can pull out a win on any given night type of vibe. Looks like Bischoff is going off of tv soon, and garrett will end up a jobber or end up "virgiled" so to speak once his feud with his dad is done. Hogan as a gm is about the only thing they can do with him as he doesn't wrestle. Short of him being a manager. I have enjoyed AA,bully ray, roode and storm and happy that mcmg are back. TNA is getting on track. Much left to fix but they are getting there

Production values. I think better theme music (that you can actually here) would help them feel bigger. It's annoying hearing some mumbling as a theme song then trying to guess who's actually coming out :S

I think they should start off by having a B show and have every PPV on the road. Then get rid of Hogan.

This comes up a lot around this forum actually..

Honestly the biggest thing for Impact Wrestling is GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE IMPACT ZONE!!!!
It's just no good.
GO LIVE!
Taping didn't work for Monday Night RAW, IT AIN'T WORKING FOR YOU!
In fact I watched Impact Wrestling this past thursday cause I didn't see any spoilers on the main page.

As for everybody saying "get rid of Hulk."
1.)Hogan as GM is good. I think that's the only thing he can do believable
2.)I still don't think even in that role anybody gives a fuck about it.

I agree that their production values need to increase. Somebody said louder intro music. I agree. When you watch RAW and SD and hell even WWEECW when somebody's music hit you KNEW exactly whose coming out. When Impact is on besides a select few, you have NO idea who the hell is coming out.

I have always said maybe cut it down to 10 or 11 PPVs.... 11 I think would be the best option right off.... Maybe have a special in December, when TNA takes the most time off?? Maybe even a special in the summer, like a BaseBrawl event???

Really not sure what role Bischoff will have after Lockdown, I'm thinking they have Garrett leave, and come back under a mask??? and Bischoff try to make a power move of some sort???
Agree Sting should have Undertaker type treatment, used at PPVs in big matches.... Hogan I think as long as he don't get in the ring I'm happy, hide his boots and tights, so it no chance in happening...
