1)If the TNA gets a TV deal, eventually those guys like AJ Styles, Low Ki, Frankie Kazarian, Daniels, etc are going to be more well known and will be pushed more. For now, the TNA is forced to use more familiar names just to get over.
2) I actually agree. I was very disappointd when the TNA used months of build-up to tease a Raven/Jarrett matchup (Raven doing massive run-ins, winning a four way top contender match, pinning JJ in a tag match ) only to waste it by having Raven job to Chris Harris (????). Unless the writers are saving a Raven/JJ payoff for the first "traditional" PPV, there's no reason to have JJ beat Chris Harris when Raven is as over with the crowd as he's ever been.
3) Most of the "high risk" workers are working dates in other companies anyways... Low Ki may only work 2 TNA dates a month, but he has numerous bookings with RoH, World-1, and occasionally Japan. Same with AJ in RoH, Red in NJPW, etc... the point is, that with a new TV deal, they'd be working the same amount of dates. They'd justbe working them for one company, more than likely. The NWA isn't anywhere near working house shows. So you're talking one TV taping a week and one PPV a month. So this is a non-issue.
4) Vince has been co-writing for a couple months now and the shows have actually been good lately for the most part. Have you read any reviews? The storylines are working and it seems like he's going out of his way to build a midcard and there's nothing ridiculous; definitely nothing as ridiculous as a wrestling handicap, a flaming queen, or a murdered GM.
I reiterate, I think they dropped the ball with Raven...but we'll see. That happened this week so maybe Raven gets back in the title picture soon.
I think you're being too cynical. People thought TNA was going to fold within months. They're in Year 3 and closing in on a TV deal. The Jarret thing is a huge weakness, but that'll probably be addressed.
