An open letter to TNA about gimmick matches

No, I see why they are doing gimmick matches on pre-mania ppvs. If WWE present a card with no gimmicks, just a bunch of straight match, especially in the title matches. Maybe just have like a street fight for an undercard match, most fans are going to think (or know) nothing is going to happen, and they are doing this to have safe ppv to make some quick cash. Now if they have a gimmick match, it ups the chances for the champion to at least get hurt and add a little unpredicablity. Thus increases buy rates. In theory.
