It's a blood match!

Is TNA's over crowded roster a good thing?
Simple question, TNA has a ton of guys on their roster. And a lot of big names and legends, as well as the successful few home grown talents.
With only two hours a week will TNA drown themselves with too many workers? Is there enough time to get the best use of AJ Styles, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, Pac, Hall, Young, Flair, RVD, Daniels, Anderson, Angle, 3-D, Raven, Rhino, Jeff Hardy, Matt Morgan, Orlando Jordan, The Pope, Abyss, Wolfe, Williams, Red, Hernandez, Kendrick, Dr. Stevie...
As well as the Knockouts Division and at least 35 minutes of Hogan and Bischoff?
I may have missed a few bigger names, who knows.
One thing TNA has going for itself is the way they have booked matches lately. The matches are usually short and sweet (not always). They are trying to be more realistic and that is fine with me as long as it is action packed and makes sense. A real fight won't usually last 10-20 minutes, more like 2-3, and TNA has shown they can pull off a decent match in that amount of time with some workers.
Also TNA is realistic in that the wrestlers don't always win with their finishers, Nash beat Foley quick with a boot to the face a few weeks ago, I loved that.
RVD went over sting really fast by catching him off gaurd, and I thought that was a good booking move, I know not everybody will agree on that one though.
There are probably more and better example of this, but I don't watch TNA always, just occasionally.
Bottom line, I think TNA needs clean up the roster a little bit.
But who should go? Personally I could do without Angle, Abyss, and Anderson. I know Angle is an IWC hero, but I could care less. He is nowhere near as good as he used to be, both in the ring and on the mic. Sure he can still pull off a MOTYC every now and then, when he faces somebody like Styles, or Wolf. But I can't stand his promo's and I get easily bored with his matches.
Abyss is so fat and he's retarded. Pretty simple. Why do I want to see a fat guy shriek and scream on TV like he has his leg caught in a bear trap every time I see him. Horrible character, I have no idea what Hogan is thinking in Abyss being one of the guys who can carry TNA. He makes TNA look 2nd rate, why? Because WWE would never use him on that level, he is great for a southern indy or a hardcore indy, but he is not someone I want to spend time watching on TV.
Anderson fucking sucks. His matches suck, his promo's aren't the worst but ultimately they are pointless and I can't remember a thing he says after he is done, other of course than his name repetition.
Also, I know that most won't agree with this but I hate AJ Styles as World Heavyweight Champion, and in a Monday Night War, if you turn on TNA and see AJ Styles being called World Heavyweight Champion, and then turn on Raw and see Batista, it's just laughable. Sure he can work a high paced entertaining match, but so could Owen Hart (10x better than AJ IMO) and he wasn't even big enough to get over in the main event.
I feel like I could kick AJ's ass, why couldn't fat ass Abyss or anyone else on the roster?
Also, he is so fucking bland it makes me yak. His Ric Flair rip off promo's are just amateur and pathetic. It makes me cringe every time I hear his horrible southern accent (and I'm from Tennessee).
So who do I think should be pushed? No fucking shit, the best guys for the job. Sting is the biggest wrestler they have and they just turned him heel. Like Lance Storm said, PEOPLE WANT TO CHEER STING, NOT BOO HIM. Fucking idiots. Sting still has several years in him if he wants, and if TNA treated him like a god he would probably stick around.
He has the biggest legacy of any wrestler they have, and they should capitalize on that.
Matt Morgan, hello TNA? I understand the point of building up a guy but how about taking the guy who is over 7 feet and can move like a light heavyweight and giving him the Lesnar treatment? Why should anyone ever beat Matt Morgan? He is the biggest and baddest dude on the roster.
POPE isn't he the number one contender? Didn't he win a tourament that TNA spent a month building up (albeit nobody cared) WHY IS ABYSS FACING STYLES AND NOT POPE?
Desmond Wolf, some seem to disagree but ol Nigel is one of the best in the world. He is an amazing wrestler, and should either hog the X title until somebody thrilling comes along, or put him in the main event picture. He has the ego and charisma to be a top guy, and the skills to make extremely technical submission wrestling interesting to even a casual fan.
Joe ahhh god. Boy did they fuck this up. Luckily nobody was watching so they can start all over. UNDEFEATED FOR A YEAR. Just fucking do it. He is extremely marketable in that way. I hope that while he is gone right now he is hitting the gym. He doesn't need to rippling muscles but fuck he looks horrible right now. Maybe is his new attire, but I hate the way he looks now, not cool at all.
So thats my rant and TNA whish list. PLEASE get rid of Angle, Anderson, and Abyss. PLEASE stop pushing AJ to the moon. PLEASE stop showing Hogan and E so much. PLEASE fire the nasty boys. PLEASE push people with a connection with the crowd.
AND I'm done. So you can just comment or post your TNA hired/fired/whatever wishlist.
