How could TNA seriously be better???

Fire Mantell, too. Remember when Dixie said that it wasn't Russo that was the problem? Okay, so get rid of the guy who's booking the shit that's got people chanting "fire Russo." Don't go "Shows what you know!" Because being right is less important than...You know...Keeping fans.

I'd also say the following:

Kill the gimmicky stuff. WWE can afford pissbreaks. You are the pissbreak. We don't need guys the kiddies love or whatever, because you have a very small audience to begin with, and not enough programming to merit a sideshow. Plus, they have too much talent to begin with, from the looks of things, which brings me to....

They don't need every wrestler on every program. This may have changed recently, but the effort of shoehorning every guy on the roster into every show made things ridiculous. And that dovetails with....

Work with the talent you've got. I don't remember anyone being snatched up by TNA after being released from WWE recently, but it happens too much. TNA's got an awesome roster, and with a few exceptions, their aquisitions aren't worth it.

Stop trying to revolutionise the business. One of the most important things in any business is an established foundation. Rather than building up their wrestling or storytelling, they slap a bandaid on it in the form of "Look! A New Gimmick Match!"

Again, WWE can get away with it. They have four times TNA's audience though, and they're barely able to pull it off. Not to mention TNA's are generally dumb.

Stop trying to ride WWE's coattails. You're not competition. Your fans know who WWE is. They watch it as well. WWE fans are probably all aware of you, and think you suck. The Mania stunt is a good example of how stupid this shit is....And that never got off the ground (pardon the pun).

See, TNA has most of the tools it needs. It's got the talent, there are a ton of people who want wrestling that's not WWE, it has a time slot to showcase it, and they've even got a cult following. But they need to improve. Cult followings generally don't lead to mainstream success. They need to grow, and they can't do that as WWE wannabes, with shitty booking that gets jeered even by the smarktard mutants at the Impact! Zone.
