TNA Impact Change!!

**XxJPPRxX** · 11-17-2012, 09:06 AM

TNA Impact has most defiantly grown in its 10 years that its been around and it has it fair share of epic, average and bad moments. But even though TNA has some of the biggest names in Pro Wrestling today it still hasn't reached that level the WWE is on. Now this brings me to my question
What is the main change TNA needs to do to bring them up a level and start competing with the WWE or if they dont want to do that then just to earn that little bit extra cash of the side.

Personally out of the choices i think they need to take the risk and go into bigger arenas, because if they do that then they won't feel like a indie show. Plus it can help them grow into a larger audience, get a better TV channel that has a much larger audience, more sponsorship's. Then regardless of if they want to or not they could actually give wwe a run for their money, that is if they keep going with some of their good story-lines and angles that they do, like Hardy vs. Aries, Roode vs. Storm, MCMG vs. Beer Money, Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles, Aces & Eights etc...

I would say bigger arenas an go on the road more and across the whole country not just a few states close to Florida

Go to bigger arenas esp for PPVs and after PPV shows..... other then that they can stay in the Impact Zone for non Impact shows...

The age old question.

TNA needs to try and get out off the Impact Zone more frequently. It is unrealistic for them every week live from different locations so maybe they go live for two weeks, taped on the road from the same location for two weeks. At the very least PPVs need to be on the road or in a larger, different arena in the Orlando area.

I had no initial intentions of showing it, but you just gave me the right opportunity.

An estimate of 200-300 fans in an 8.000 seat arena.

I'll even post the full results for you. Just for fun.

Christy Hemme was the announcer and hype lady. She also sang the national anthem.

(1) Chase Owens beat Kincaid in a battle of local wrestlers.
(2) X Division champion Rob Van Dam beat Zema Ion to retain the X Division Title. Great match.
(3) Miss Tessmacher beat Madison Rayne.
(4) Matt Morgan beat A.J. Styles after calling out Styles for a match.
(5) Bobby Roode beat James Storm.
(6) Devon beat Mr. Anderson with help from Luke Gallows and another masked Aces and Eights member who ran in. Jeff Hardy then cleared the ring, which led to...
(7) TNA World Hvt. champion Jeff Hardy beat Austin Aries to retain the TNA World Title. Hardy was nursing an injury. There fewer high spots than usual, and no Swanton. After the match, Hardy iced his lower back while still in the ring taking pictures.

I feel sorry for them that they had to hear Hemme sing.

I'm sure this was just a bathroom break match

That was a Gut Check from what the announcer said, to open the show... Yes house shows usually and normally draw less in TNA and even the WWE....

Well, I don't suppose 7.500 people came in after that match.
The show had already started and at the end of the match the arena was still empty. RVD came right after them and people weren't rushing to their seats?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with: "Yes house shows usually and normally draw less in TNA and even the WWE", but 200/300 is still very, very bad for TNA.

Very agreeable it not a good number.... But let just say that is the normal numbers for TNA house shows usually...
