Watching impact the other day, i find out that tna actually has everything to be that second company that we need:

Big names:

Kurt angle (should be the john cena of tna)
Hulk hogan
Sting
RVD

Promising new stars:

Aj styles
samoa joe
matt morgan
mr anderson

World wide expansion.- You can actually see TNA or PPV in Mexico, England, USA and many other countries, so they have that exposure

So I have a crazy question, what if..... RAW and Impact wrestling changed their timeslots and channels, impact on mondays in USA and raw on thursdays in Spike tv, do you think that impact will still get 3.3 or more of rating after the first month??

do you think that raw can increase the rating from 1.1 or will it remain the same??

and of course, my last question, WHAT IS TNA MISSING??

they've got everything they just need to wait 10-15 years till they have self-made legends A/K/A Styles, joe and others who i can't remember so they need to bide their time

and what do you think about swithing channels and timeslot with raw???

What TNA is missing is a solid domestic audience to expand. There is no point in worldwide expansion if you're not solid in your own country.

Given that they tried to go head to head on Mondays with Raw and failed to win (as it was obvious they would), I personally don't think that moving to the USA network on Mondays will help them.

Even when Raw when to Spike for a brief period of time they kept their ratings up, so I don't think the network helps much unless it's in the publicity aspect of it all, during the week on USA I see at least 3 combined reminders to see Raw and Smackdown while Spike focuses on showcasing the UFC while leaving TNA in the dark, so the only benefit I feel TNA would get by moving to USA is publicity which should but I don't think will help them in the ratings aspect.

Changing Raw to Thursdays won't change anything, I'm sure they'll still hit the numbers they want to hit even on a Thursday night but iMPACT might benefit from the change and maybe reach a 2.0 or more but never reach 3.3 Raw usually gets if USA helps them with the publicity otherwise no.

As far what they're missing? That's well.....let's just leave it at that.

Switching Channels wouldn't do much also switching the time slot wouldn't do much either IMO the biggest issue is the day it comes on, Thursday just doesn't work for me. What TNA is missing is Traveling more and do more live events but to do that it would mean more busy schedules for their roster which alot of them have strongly express they are not up for specifically the guys that came from WWE. The one thing that makes TNA seem like a sweet deal for alot of wrestlers is the same thing that will keep TNA from growing into a powerful wrestling company.

tna needs to make their own stars instead of recyceling old wwe stars and pushing them to the moon instantley eg on matt hardys first impact he was in the main event but someone like alex shellly who stays loyal to tna and has been in the company for years and i dont think has ever been in a main event

also the time slot change would make no differance as it is still the same product at the end of the day

I think the main thing TNA is missing is exposure. The product is amazing. Maybe a little short of amazing. But it's there. I think that all they need is exposure. They need advertising, touring, and to get the f**k out of the Impact Zone.

i think tna is a great alternative from wwe, i mean, you can watch some of your fav wrestlers that otherwise would be hard to watch like angle, sting, rvd, styles and also despite of the shitty storylines i do enjoy the matches (most of them)
