TNA seem to be trying so hard not to be WWE that they haven't given themselves any identity. I agree entirely with KK's post. But to add to it, they need to sort that arena out, it looks like one of those laser gun shootout arena's that they hire out when its shut.
Ditch the 2nd entance and use it for seating more fans. More fans = more merch sales, even if getting in is free.
The 6 sided ring is just annoying and makes it look like they are trying to associate themselves with MMA / UFC. And its wrestling, its scripted and MMA / UFC is not, and that makes them look poor by comparison. Plus its the SQUARED circle, not the hexagonal circle. I see it as slightly disrespectful. And if they want something to make themselves memorable by, with the talent they have, they can do better than an odd shaped ring to make themselves stand out.
And as KK also mentioned, I can't stand the announce team. Are we seriously meant to believe they never know anything about upcoming surprises. At least say something like "we know what it is and you'll love it folks". To me they sound like exitabe children announcing. JR and King have been bad on occasion in recents years but I have never wanted to turn off the TV just to not hear them. IMO if TNA could get Joey Styles as an announcer it would be a great start. TNA would actually use his style of commentary, unlike WWE who wanted it their way from him. Joey Styles is an excellent announcer on his own.
The one advantage TNA has is that the management team seems to be 3 or 4 people of equal status. Whereas in WWE its all Vince, and one person will NEVER get it right on their own 100% of the time. They also do a limited number of shows per month which means they get to spend more time in the real world, something its plain to see Vince doesn't.
If TNA really wanted to get themselves a following, it woldn't hurt for them to aknowledge the fan sites,Vince actively annoys us and ignores them. I'm not saying they should use every idea, but occasionally giving the internet fans what they want would certainly make me watch them.
In fact a noid written segment every week could be entertaining
