As much as we pan the creative writing over at TNA (and yes I'm guilty of this too) the WWE (like any other marketable product) needs good competition - this is what drives you to make YOUR product better.
TNA needs to be a much stronger force in the business. Wrestlers coming off contract and jumping ship or returning to the WWE ultimately is not a good thing.
TNA needs to get it's act together and become a true thorn in WWE's side.

While I do agree with you, and having those five names would definitely be better for TNA's talent pool, I think that there is a flip-side to this argument.
Christian Cage has consistently been one of, if not the best thing TNA has had going for them. He was the first major star to actually choose TNA over the WWE. Kevin Nash has been consistently entertaining, and despite never being a fan of him in the ring, I think he has done far more good than bad for TNA, and he honestly hasn't looked too terrible in the squared...*cough*...hexagonal circle.
Team 3D, again guys I'm not big fans of, get more shit than they deserve. Sure, Bubba is crap in the ring, but he's fairly good on the mic. I remember reading an article about TNA's MVP recently, and when the chips were down on the table, Team 3D have been in a surprisingly lot of great matches in recent TNA history. They are great heel lackies for whoever they hang around with, and are recognisable. Then you have Awesome Kong, who was absolutely crucial in helping TNA's Knockout Division look so good from the start.
All are really important to TNA, but if they left, TNA wouldn't immediately die. They'd have a vacuum, and somehow they would need to fill that vacuum. If that convinced TNA to better use their homegrown talent (yes, laugh it up), and keep the talent that chose them over the WWE over them happier (and that doesn't mean constantly putting them over, it just means letting them be a part of a company not overshadowed by silly politics), then it could do them some good.
