The "Everyone Forgot About Impact" Thread

**Schlomey** · 07-31-2010, 04:10 PM

TNA is confusing in lots of ways.

1. They realize that they have amazingly skilled tag team workers in MCMG and Beer Money. They capitalized on that by creating this series of matches. Kudos.

2. Then they do everything else that they do -- Knowing what the fans actually like and want to see.

When did they sit down and say...Ok fellas we have amazing athletes such as MCMG's, Beer Money, AJ Styles ect......so lets keep them off TV this week to make room for Tomy Dreamer & Abyss.

I know they are trying to "pander" to EVERY demographic but they have to realize what they have in front of them. Instead of branching off in a million different directions all at once why can't they put the focus on a couple specific areas and create a niche market?

TNA did that with the Knockouts - Then they fucked it up.
TNA COULD have a niche market with tag team wrestling - It is something they obviously toy with.
TNA HAD a niche market with the X Division but they have all but forgotten about it.

They took what was once their strengths and instead relying on old business tricks and old school mentality and over branchin. Sometimes it just seems like TOO MUCH goes on and TOO MUCH tries to happen all at once...totally killing the effect.

I like a lot of things about TNA and my reviews are often times favorable so don't come back at me like I'm some Pro WWE TNA hater because that is not the case at all.

Just some observations from The Schlome I have been pondering ever since I really became a fan of the brand.

If I were TNA, after this Hardcore PPV I would tighten the reigns and regain control of the business end and SLOW DOWN the product. It really comes off as desperate and annoying the way they go out there and brag and claim all these amazing surprises. It isn't getting them anywhere except alienating people.

If I ran TNA I would do this:

1. Less talk - More wrestling ---that right there would set them apart from WWE.
2. Focus on the X Division and reignite the magic in it.
3. Rebuild the Knockouts division and hire a female writer specifically for their segments.
4. Fire Rob Terry (lol thats a personal vendetta more than anything)
5. Less TNA braggery & promises -- the element of surprise is a good thing --you build something up and up and up most of the time it won't deliver in the way they want.

ok that's enough of a rant...dunno why I'm even posting this especially in this thread where it probably won't even get viewed.
