I love TNA, personally.

...But keep in mind, I don't get UPN. All I have to compare with is RAW. Smackdown! sounds pretty sexy, but as I can't watch it, I'm stucking begging Jesus to give TNA an extra hour on TV.

Yeah, TNA totally kills any of their creative gimmick matches. The Ultimate X Match is the perfect example. It has only been around for maybe three years yet there have been around 10 or so of these matches already.

I know. They need to stop milking their gimmicks and bring in some substance.

Uhhh...if TNA doesn't milk their bad gimmicks, they have nothing else to hype. It's not like most will pay to see Daniels, Styles, Sabin, Jarrett, etc. on their on.

I think if they build some of these people up, give folks a reason to give a shit, they could turn them into actual draws.

Moreso than 6 sides part 3,000,000.

Except Jarrett. He was a hasbeen before TNA was a gleam in the shorts of the wrestling kingdom.

I suppose spotfests are abusive, but if I did have to choose between either seeing too many spotfests and seeing not enough, I'd choose seeing too many.

TNA has got some right ideas. Sabu vs. Samoa Joe at Lockdown. I do not even cream myself at the mention of Sabu or Joe, but I am going to cream myself for that.

Christian is also facing Abyss. I like Abyss. The guy is pretty decent, and his character, although it looks like a rip-off of Kane & Mankind, is really a pretty good one when you think about it. He plays the role of monster well, so Christian will look good when he beats him to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

One thing I wouldn't mind TNA doing, is cutting ring entrances from their show. Hear me out. I know it sounds cheap, but everytime I go to perform on stage, I don't get theme music. Everytime I say something, I don't have music to make my point look strong. If TNA can make music in their wrestling show look unimportant, they can attack the WWE with this. The TNA guys don't waste time with music, why do the WWE guys? It's just a little thing I wouldn't mind seeing them try. This cuts off a few minutes from their show, which can then be used to give guys a little longer to tell stories in their matches.

I don't mind the six-sided ring. I don't see what the big deal is, it's the same as any other ring, it just has more sides. I would like to see wrestlers try and play up this fact a bit more. Running the ropes could become more of a strategy, and tag matches could be a lot of fun.

All TNA needs to do is focus on bettering themselves. They only have an hour to showcase talent, work out how to get the most of that hour. They only have a few credible main eventers, work out ways to get those main eventers putting over other guys.

I have never seen a full Impact! or TNA PPV, but I have watched a few matches here and there, and what I have seen has been good. I haven't seen enough to be sick of the style, nor have I seen enough to really be a die-hard fan. I wish them the best, though.

So my suggestions to TNA are this:
*Try and cut as many costs as possible. Less videos, less music, lets lightning, use your talent to put on a show.
*Do not use jobbers as much. Use your under-exposed talent.
*Allow your X-Division guys to slow things down a bit occasionally.
*Keep putting your Championship matches on last (I love this about TNA)
*Use the internet. Smarks are a strong majority of your fanbase, appeal to them by showing TNA's best matches, exclusive promos, exclusive matches, etc. on your website.
*Don't put on so much Konnan/older talent crap.
*Maybe you could start charging admission? Not much, maybe like $5.00? It won't scare too many people away, and yu can make enough money to buy a better set, get new guys in, etc.

Well, I've started watching alot of TNA and the way I would describe them to a wrestling fan who isn't familiar with them is:

"Take a normal wrestling product/show and give it an enormous amount of cocaine, crystal meth and Mountain Dew. Then give the announcers the same dose and an hour to fit everything in."

I was really getting into them, but Impact has been lacking in my opinion as of late. It sucks because I really want them to succeed and push the envelope with WWE eventually. That doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon.
