I think it's a good move if they got rid of Dustin Rhodes if they want to make budget cuts. Cut Rhodes, Monty Brown, Waltman, and Daddy Rhodes. That money could be better spent on securing other talents. What TNA needs to do is also cut their fucking jobber roster. If those guys are getting $50 a taping that's too much.

They need actual matches, with actual competition. This isn't a WWF Superstars show from the early 90's, where it's OK to have job or squashes the whole card, and then a legit main event. You have a ton of name guys in Florida and the surrounding area - utilize them for glorified enhancement talents if you have to; at least they're actual established talents, and putting your regulars in the ring with them will make it seem as if they're a challenge.

You have Norman Smiley, Kid Romeo, Glacier, Jason Cross, Tony Mamaluke, Mosh of The Headbangers, The Warlord, Jimmy Rave (of ROH), and a whole shitload of other guys right in their local area. At least if people are seeing recognizable faces, they'll buy into a match being competition - and if you don't know who you're going to see when you tune in each week, you've got something to watch for. Just an opinion that would help a bit.
