Wrestling Hypothetical: You Just Bought TNA.
Don't know if this will get more people posting but I'll give it a try. We have the Million dollars but...... thread in casual so if figured the wrestling forum could use it's own hypothetical situation thread.

Dixie has finally caved in and sold the company to you for $10 million and as of now you have full control of TNA Wrestling. You have an unlimited supply of money to do what ever you want. Do you try to compete with Vince Mcmahon? Do you keep the six sided ring? What talent do you bring in and who do you push? Keep TNA as the name or change it? Massive rebrand? It's up to you so go wild.

If it goes well might do other hypothetical situations and if some one has any suggestion for one go ahead and post it.

I'd bring in a consultant to report on income and expenditure and conduct a full analysis of where money is being spent within the business and likely impacts of cutting back in any particular areas.

I'd look at a range of focus groups to understand the markets opinion of the current product and talent with the aim of informing future strategy and ideal market placement of the product.

I'd analyise the approach to talent scouting used by the organisation to ensure high quality talent for the future, as well as looking at strategies for retention in a competitive market place to mitigate the impact of future talent raids.

I'd target investment towards development of TV deals including internationally looking towards the development of longer term deals to ensure sustainability and medium term security

Explore better use of sponsorship and commercial partnerships to increase income and develop brand awareness

Judge performance on product turnover, profit and market confidence rather than ratings and performance compared to competition




.....I know it's a boring answer but the issues with this company are less interesting than they sound.

Most of the talent can probably go. I'd re-hire Dutch Mantel to be my booker, and maybe sign Kevin Sullivan and MSL to supplement him as well. I keep Cornette on call to rip my product apart for any bullshit that goes on.

Some of my first calls regarding talent are probably to Dave Bautista, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle guys that have made money elsewhere and are somewhat, sorta, free agents in the wrestling sense. I'd then call guys like Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow and see what they are up to.

I try to put on a product that draws eyeballs enough to get Spike TV to take us back. New ownership and all that. I charge fans to get in, I try and move some fucking merchandise and I eventually want a video game on the market. A good one that gets my fixed roster in people's living rooms.

My philosophy is to keep this shit logical and to focus on accentuating the strengths of talent and hiding their weaknesses. I also want guys that stand out and that give your average wrestling fan a reason to watch. This can be enhanced by captivating stories and rivalries.

You know, a pro-wrestling company.

I'd start with a name change to Impact Wrestling International. I think the 6 sided ring is unique and different but I'd lose it for a traditional 4 sided one. Next I pay as much money as it takes to get either Jim Ross or Paul Heyman as consultants.

I'd would then build my own Impact Zone in Nashville. An arena that seats about 3,000 and also has a training center, production room, recording studio, and talent locker room. I like that they have a lighter schedule than WWE but I'd start touring more. I'd have slow season where they tape shows at the new Impact Zone for November, December, January, and February. The rest of the year would be the Go season where they are doing live shows and touring. With International in the name you have to tour more over seas so I'd have 2 tours of Europe, Japan, India, and Mexico a year each tour lasting 2 weeks. The remaining 4 months are used touring the US and Canada with occasional shows at the Impact Zone. The Impact Zone can be used for concerts and rented to other wrestling promotions for tapings during touring months.

The King of the Mountian championship would be gifted to Jeff Jarrett and he would be free to do what ever he wanted with it. I'd put more of a focus on the X Division and bring back the Super X Cup as an annual tournament. I like the Knockouts name but it's 2016 and dropping the Knockouts name is probably the best move. So I'd have a IWI Womens World Championship created. To replace the KotM title I'd create a IWI International Champioship as a mid card title.

For TV they have a pretty good presence world wide but for the US I'd try to get back on Spike. I'd stay TV- 14 as well to draw an older more mature audience. For PPVs I would start doing Slammiversary, Bound for Glory, Victory Road, Lockdown, Destination X, and Genesis. Slammiversary would be the big PPV and not Bound for Glory. Xplosion would be taped every week from the Impact Zone and feature mostly X Division and young talent. Put Mike Tenay back on commentary with Josh Matthews as well.

I'd reach out to guys like Kurt Angle or Sting to be on screen GMs and be the authority figure of the Impact. Look into bringing in big names like Cody Rhodes or Batista to bolster the roster. I'd also like to set up some type of talent union to give the talent a voice and could also be used in storylines. Make the company talent friendly so it's a good alternative to working for WWE and a lot easier schedule maybe even better with the talent union.

Probably a lot more I could get into but I'll stop their for now.

Shoot myself for wasting 10 million dollars on TNA. Unlimited money or no you'd have just wasted 10 million on a company that has the absolute worst reputation possible. No one will watch no matter what you do and you might as well have just invested that 10 million into a new wrestling company and worked from the ground up.

Was waiting on someone to say $10 million was to much to pay for TNA. I will say though I guarantee Jeff Jarrett would do anything to have what following TNA does have for GFW. TNA does have a bad reputation but they still have a global presence and starting a new company from scratch would take a lot more work than turning TNA around I believe.

Thing is I don't think TNA can be "turned around" at this point. Righting the ship is impossible because the ship is now filled with water and every competent crew member has already abandoned ship. It'd be like trying to save the Titanic after it had already snapped in two. That's just my two cents though. I'd much rather use that 10 million for something more productive.

Here's a serious attempt:

I'd bring back Hogan, Nash, and Hall. Not in a wrestling capacity, except maybe Nash in an Undertaker type deal. I'd raid ROH and all the former X-Division guys not currently dead or working in NXT/WWE and pull 'em back. I'd put a job opening for writers on the internet, because I'd take guys off the Forums any day over over-paid hacks like Cornette and friends. We would model our story lines in practice somewhere between ECW and the Attitude Era. We would not present the product as "extreme", however, not trying to rehash the hardcore days, although the matches would be allowed to be a lot more violent, at least visually.

We would find a mid-sized arena to make our home base in a large city and near a major airport, probably Atlanta, GA or Louisville, KY. We would limit travel to quarterly PPVs utilizing the best and most well-known names. Instead of monthly PPVs, we'd have Super-cards available exclusively online for $2.99 a show (season pass $39.99). I'd be pulling heavily from old wrestlers still on the circuit to add flavor. Stupid shit, like bringing out The Oddities for a themed Supercard, basically mining the database of former WWE employees with the least bit of name recognition to be part of the Monthly shows. For the 4 PPVs, we would focus entirely on contracted talent.

The idea is to enhance contracted names with stars from the past often enough that people will get a vague understanding that our talent is on par or better than WWE talent, then let them really shine on our heavily promoted PPVs.

Oh and I'd bring back Jarrett to do the job for the world title one last time, then keep him on the payroll as an announcer/manager.

(cracks knuckles) Ok, lets do this....

First things first, I'd hire about 5 more male talents. Instead of naming specific indie wrestlers or former TNA/ WWE guys, I'll just tell you the "type" of wrestlers they'd be and you guys fill in the rest

A long term tag team that's been together for an extended period of time. They'd have matching trunks or tights and have several tandem signature moves. One would be smaller, the other a heavyweight (this way they could work in the respective divisions if one gets hurt).

A new masked X division wrestler. Small, athletic build, can hit a lot of "flippydoos" and we can license the mask from him and sell them on ShopTNA.com

A "body guy" who is solid on the mic. Someone along the lines of Ziggler, or Eli Drake or (insert wrestler with a 6 pack here). Someone who "looks like a wrestler" but can still is very athletic but isn't going to tear a muscle every other match because he's so big.

Finally a "fat guy" A guy who is like 300+ but still looks athletic can still go 15 or 20 mins in the ring if need be and can hit several "agile big man" moves (a running cross body, standing dropkick and a sick looking top rope moonsault).

As far as specific "changes" I'd make to the show, I would honestly cut a lot of the groan worthy "segments" in between matches (like that HORRIBLE Bram/ Rosemary crap they did last week). I'd replace it with more actual interviews with the wrestlers. Let the wrestlers reveal more about themselves to the audience in segments so the fans can become more emotionally involved with the wrestlers who they identify with. The other change would be less "multi-man" matches especially with the X Division matches. Add about 2 more matches to each episode, So this way instead of one x division match with 4 or 5 guys, 2 singles matches and more explanation of why are the two guys wrestling.

I thought the Rosemary stuff was pretty good and has me interested in what happened, but I do feel they are playing off the success that the Final Deletion had and it's a tad forced.

I just groaned the whole time. I don't want to see Rosemary with no make up talking like a regular person. I don't want to see Bram in a pink t shirt walking around in a lovely field..... I want to see Bram bashing peoples faces in with a piece of metal, I want Rosemary all creepy covered in paint spiting bile at people. I get evolving characters but if you make all of them "human" they lose their uniqueness

With unlimited money you could easily compete with Vince. Get yourself a Ted Turner type and it's on.
