First orders of business, fire Stiener. Booker and Nash can still be backstage workers but not in-ring. I'd also make Mick Foley more of the "On-Screen Commissioner"
Ok, I'll elaborate on how I'd fix the X Division and Midcard tomorrow in part two of this series but first I'd like to start with putting feelers out to ROH talent the Necro Butcher, Chris Hero, Nigel, Claudio, Tyler Black, Jimmy Rave, Prince Nana, and Austin Aries. As soon as they are free, signed. I'd also send feelers to Japan for various talents including Yoshino, Doi, and KENTA.
Alright, now I will outline a one year program in an effort to establish the main event again without Kurt Angle.
For Bound for Glory 2009, two matches are essential to rebuilding the Main Event scene. In the next to last match of the evening, I'd have Kurt Angle lose the title to Matt Morgan in a decently long match that serves to put Morgan over. After the match I'd quietly release Kurt. In the main event, AJ Styles would take on Sting in a match with a real teacher vs student, passing of the torch feel to it. Styles would defeat Sting in the match billed as his last. This would start a build to Turning Point where AJ would challenge Morgan for the belt. AJ would win via DQ when Morgan would get frustrated and use a chair. The next month at Final Resolution, AJ would get a rematch in a No DQ match. He'd get the pin after a Styles Clash/Spiral Tap combo.
AJ would then embark on a long title reign with a "take on all comers" mentality. He'd have matches with Hernadez, Homicide, and various others, establishing him as THE top guy. He'd work minor 1-2 month programs with guys to add that extra dimension of story but not really work a MAJOR program until Hard Justice 2010 when his best friend, and fellow TNA Icon, The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels, makes a friendly challenge for the belt.
Hard Justice would be main evented by Daniels/Styles for the Belt while Styles barely scraping out the victory and both men showing a mutual respect after the match and the following iMPACT. Commissioner Foley would see the match and book a rematch at No Surrender in Ultimate X, once again, AJ would barely get the victory. Daniels would grudgingly shake his hand after the match but still be visibly frustrated. Daniels would beg Foley for one final match with Styles at Bound for Glory, promising to not come up short. Foley agrees and over the next few weeks Daniels would show an upped aggression leading a tag match the iMPACT before BFG. It would be Styles and Daniels vs Beer Money, Inc. Styles and Daniels would pick up the win after Styles pins Roode. Daniels is visibly angry and he attacks Styles, brutally, leading to their match at BFG being declared a Last Man Standing match. Daniels would win a VERY brutal match but afterwards would show compassion for Styles leading to a blood soaked hug and celebration.
The next iMPACT would open with Daniels cutting his first champion promo, apologizing to the fans and Styles. He'd be interrupted by new TNA signee, Austin Aries. Aries would run him down for showing compassion and being "weak." This would lead to a multi-month program that would carry me WELL outside the one year mentioned in the title.
I'll post the X-Division stuff tomorrow.
