This is in no way fact, this is just some stuff I would love to see in TNA...and I am sure some of this has been discussed before, I just feel like share, so read it bitches!
Dusty Rhodes leaves forever...and they bring in Tully Blanchard as NWA Director of Authority.
Get rid of Waltman, Nash, and Dustin Rhodes and bring in Juvi, Vampiro, and Matt Hardy.
Shane Douglas stops interviewing, and starts giving interviews.
The World Title Picture shifts to focus more on Raven, Truth, and (and incomming) Matt Hardy.
People stop glorifying AJ as god's gift to wrestling...Christopher Daniels is the Fallen Angel Bitches! :foc:
Bring in older World Champ people only if they are willing to put over young up and commers like Williams and Kash...oh yeah and get down on your knees and beg for Kash to come back
Quit being a cock tease and form an angle with Outlaw and BG already.
Stop trying to make yourself out to be better then WWE, just fucking focus on what you have to do.
Enough with everyone and their mom having pyros.
Don't do 12 PPVs a year...if ECW couldn't do 12 a year what chance do you have? Do 6.
Don't bother with jobbers like Buck Q and everyone else, just bring in indy guys if you want to do squash matches, at least then people dont get bored of seeing the same people lose every other week.
Be better please.

1) Stop Glorifying AJ? Are you nuts? Everyone loves him. How the fuck are they gonna do that?
2) Take the focus off JJ? Are you even Crazier? :|

I love Daniels. I really do. But from what I've seen, Styles has carried that company. You can push Daniels w/o getting rid of the one good thing in the main event scene.
Also, you're ideas are solid. None of them solves the financia black hole the company has itself in. TNA has to change its business plan or else it's going to fold no matter how much better the on-scee prodict is.

Aside from taking the focus off Styles, they will proactively affect TNA's business. Now, they won't SAVE the business, but they will have an effect that could be a positive step to saving the company.

True. his ideas are god ones. I just felt I had to point out that TNA has other problems besides its in-ring ones. As fans, I think we forget about the money-making aspect of wrestling.

By no means do I mean to take light away from AJ, infact that comment was more made for the fans to listen to, but I do notice that AJ does get more attention then anyone (save Jarrett) and while he is mega over, his appeal dosen't (in my eyes) have long term draw power. The same way Jeff Hardy eventually fizzed out, Style might do the same. Now I am not saying that Styles' and Jeff's styles (pardon the pun) were similar, but they do both carry with them Spot-Fest appeal.
As for the money thing, you will notice that NO WHERE did I do something that would cost the company money without explain where to get that money from. In fact most of the guys I said to bring in work for LESS then the guys I kicked out (and could draw in similar perportions)...so already saving money there.
Also if they got rid of the 2 enterance way, and replaced that with one and then used the newly freed up space to put more seats, more asses, more money.
At this point I am not looking to save TNA (hell it could close tomorrow and all it means for me is finding a new way to watch Raven, Gunn/Outlaw and Daniels every week) but more just things I would like to see happen, and as it turns out they seem to be good financially...hmmmm...maybe I should get Dusty's job :shifty:

Sometimes we do.
However, it's worth noting that better entertainment=better ratings (in theory), which could equal more ad money, a better time slot, etc.
A lot of these choices also have effects beyond the ring. Hiring the expensive no-talents has to suck up a lot of cash. Pyro costs money. Indy jobbers=less than Buck Quartermain and Co., I'd wager. And since competing with the WWE is suicide, more focus on what they have is probably a better financial decision.
Fewer PPVs will DEFINITELY affect finances one way or the other. I think he's on the mark here in terms of picking things that have an onscreen and offcreen effect, whether or not I agree with all of them.

Number one would be realizing that Jarret isn't god.

the title has to come off jj and go to raven cause he damn well deserves it
get rid of guys that you are paying too damn much and get damn good indy talent at the half the price
add a 3rd title and push the immortal hell out of bobby roode because if they dont do something with roode and petey williams when their contracts expire vince will damn well snatch them up

B-Bomb, I like the thoughts, but there are some problems.
To have Raven go over Jarrett right now would be a joke, first he jobs to Dustin, then he has a fued with Hardy because Hardy doesn't want to team with him...and then he wins the title? No. You have to make slow movements of shift focus away from certain people and onto others. You can't have him just drop the title right now. The 3rd title idea is kind of...no. They don't have enough Television time to get the World, X, Tag, AND another title over, so it more or less would become usless, and actually cost the already exsisting titles a bit of dignity. As for Bobby Roode and Petey Williams, I don't think Vince & Co. are that interested in Roode, to my knowledge they haven't approached him about anything, and we all know that WWE doesn't like Cruiserweights, so why would Vince be jumping at the bits to get Petey on his programming. Plus as much as I like Petey, he isn't solid enough to go national yet. TNA is the best place for him right now (though I wish they paid a bit more attention to him honestly, since he dropped the title he has kind of fallen off the map).
I think everything you said will be true at some point and would be good down the road, but right now it's a bit premature.

i did'nt mean drop it right away
they need to let raven finish with hardy first
they could even put the title on someone else like abyss and have raven take it off him

Congrats on one double zero.
And I was just making sure that you wern't suggesting that Raven go out and win the title right now. ;)
Also if they got rid of the 2 enterance way, and replaced that with one and then used the newly freed up space to put more seats, more asses, more money.
Don't they sort of need fans to put there first

I laugh, but it's true as well.
Also, are they even charging admission?

I know what would help...if the hire some hosses that could work. And get people to give a shit about the company.

NO, admission is free. That's why people got turned away.
IMO, They should of turned Williams a babyface a put the belt on him. I mean, did they not see how over he was 3 months ago? The main focus should of shifted right on him. He was on fire. Now, what happened? He's fizzled out and another missed oppurtunity. They've done that about 9 times now.

That's what I though. If they're not selling tix, there's little benefit from putting asses in the seats or even not turning people away.
