I'd do it very ECW style, but mixed with TNA's backstage/ Aftermath show. Not a ton of in ring talking, but some, more backstage promos/vignettes, good angles that are original/unique, but don't overwhelm the show. Focus on wrestling, but don't make it the end all be all. 2 hour show, once a week, PPV every three months, 2 house shows a week. Start off initially on the East Coast/ New England area, venture down to the South as well, hit some of the old territories.
90% of the guys listed would probably work for TNA pay. Give all the wrestlers a 50% chunk of all there merchandise that sells, keep them happy.
