Paul Heyman as head writer for TNA would be an incredible, incredible thing. Heyman would instantly bring good will to the company from the internet community, which is great for word of mouth and that sort of stuff. He's got a great mind for the business, and I completely agree with whoever it was recently (might have been Rob Van Dam) who said that Heyman not only knows what people want now, but he knows what they will want in the future. He's the most contemporary and relevant of bookers.
Jim Ross being signed would actually be really big for them. As a PPV announcer, he would make a great addition to Mike Tenay & Taz's table. Even if you added him for live iMPACT!, as well. He would make a great talent relations guy for TNA, too. He brings with him a lot of knowledge, and a lot of respect. He'd almost legitimise TNA some more by just lending it his voice.
I don't think Matt Hardy is leaving the WWE, but if he does, signing him would be a good move. Having The Hardys together in TNA would be huge for them. A feud would Beer Money, Inc. and The Motor City Machine Guns would be tremendous. TNA should really focus on tag team wrestling, and Matt & Jeff Hardy would help tremendously with that.
The same thing goes for Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas. Bring them in as a tag team and offer what the WWE does not -- a proper tag team division. Matt Morgan is entertaining, but he needs to drop the tag straps to a tag team, ASAP. Benjamin & Haas could also supplement the singles divisions.
Mickie James would be a tremendous asset to TNA. She has a large fanbase, is hot, has other activities going on (which could be extra publicity), and she's an amazing female worker. It's a shame Tara is on her way out, as I'd love to see a psycho bitch vs. psycho bitch feud between the two. James is someone I would definitely try and get into the company.
Tommy Dreamer can still work. He has a great understand of the business, and he can cut a good promo. I see no use for him on-air, though. He might bring a few hardcore ECW nuts, I guess -- but I think they would already be watching for Rob Van Dam. I would not mind seeing Tommy Dreamer help develop younger talent or get signed as a road agent, though. But I'd rather see D'Lo Brown step out from behind the scenes and return to the ring over Dreamer.
