Now what would bring my interest back in the way it was when I first started watching.... hmmm, and may bring a whole new generation of fans like that time that drew in the bulk of today..... hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Two matching federations going to war with each other. WWE can keep doing what it's doing, and TNA can definitely improve. TNA can redeem itself the moment it stops the instant push of WWE midcarders and WCW throwbacks (though Sting's still got it), because I am sure people are sick of it.

It needs to push their originals, like Robert Roode (which they are finally doing and doing well), Crimson, Samoa Joe, and Abyss. They had something going with a heel Jeff Hardy, which was a good move on the whole Immortal thing, and probably the only time pushing an ex-WWE guy actually worked well, but kiss that goodbye! New types of matches would greatly help, and I mean matches on par with Hell in a Cell and the Time Bomb Deathmatch.

They also need to be even more edgier and more controversial and do things not even old school ECW wouldn't touch. There is alot of room for it on the network they're on, and with less than half the ratings of WWE, can they afford not to? For that, Paul Heyman can fix things up if he and Brock get involved with TNA, which would also be an exception to ex-WWE. Perhaps the marijuana-indulging main eventer gimmick I mentioned in my last thread may come in handy at that time for the right person (perhaps this may be the thing for Crimson). Anything they can't be showing on television because of the controversy involved would greatly help a starving federation. They have to get people talking and watching.

One federation burying the other deep without even giving the other a chance (though it's probably the buried federation's fault all on its own) would a pretty stupid move, because the head-to-head dispute will open room for the controversy that draws people. Without the controversy, both companies will die, swiftly or slowly, and become a distant memory. Before people tell me,"WWE won't die because it's making too much money!" I'll tell you that pro-wrestling altogether almost vanished from the Earth many times before, and many many MANY federations are no longer with us simply for the fact that nobody was buying the trend anymore, so in short, no sport is immortal!
