Until they bring in David Arquette to win and bring credibility to the title, they will never have any credibility as an organization with a championship.

New TNA World Hvt. champion Rob Van Dam says he does not have much sympathy for younger wrestlers being pushed out of TNA in favor of bigger names.

"It’s a good vibe. Some of the younger guys may feel like they’re getting pushed out right now, but they don’t really have an argument," RVD told Patrick Lennon of the Daily Star in an interview.

I'm going to go with creatively because that trumps all. I'd like them to make other moves, like going live all the time, touring, and canning certain shit. Still, none of that guaruntees a good show.
A well booked show is a well booked show. I don't care if Russo, Bischoff, or the popcorn guy is booking it. If it's good, I'm for it.
All of the tools they have could be assets for them if they used them right. Hogan and Bischoff shouldn't be all over every segment and the focus of everyone's fued, but they can work as authority figures.
Russo can lend ideas. Flair can still be entertaining when he isn't wrestling/blading/stealing the spotlight from everyone he works with. He should be used in the role he was with Evolution.

There's a bunch of things. No one person or element is the whole answer or the whole problem. Except Rob Terry. He needs to go.

There is absolutely 0 long term booking in TNA. Fueds are lucky if they last more than a month, heel and face turns mean nothing, and there's no investment into storylines and characters that makes events rewarding.

This is why TNA has no dream matches on the horizon, which could increase interest in PPVs and result in a "pay off" financially and creatively.
The only semi-hyped matches they have occur organically when a new star comes into the company, and they usually pull the trigger on them immediately with no teasing or hype.

TNA needs to make better stars on their own, too. It's fine to have already made stars from WWE/WCW but eventually they will need to learn how to make their own stars or else they will fuck themselves over. These guys won't be around forever. This goes beyond the Hogan and Flair past their prime types. TNA relies too much on ex-WWE stars. Dixie must have multiple orgasm's every April during Vince's "spring cleaning"

My thoughts on TNA and what needs to be done to gain my viewership:


1. On a weekly basis TNA Impact puts on better ACTUAL wrestling matches since moving to Mondays.

2. I actually love most of the TNA roster.

3. However, the flow & the storylines (writers!) is the reason I lose interest. I can't say they are 100 percent horrible. The Angle/Anderson feud was semi-poorly written but the action spoke for itself and made that my favorite feud I have seen in TNA.


4. I have been loyal to WWE since the original Monday Night Wars...I guess a part of me is close minded....That isn't to say that I wouldn't switch shows if the product was better.




So writers, that is my rant....It is on YOU ...the roster is tight and the wrestling is pretty amazing for free TV......

Stop being WWE Lite.

I just hate watching those poorly acted back-stage skits where they pretend that the camera isn't there and the announcers pretend they don't see. I'd prefer a more sports-mimicking style like in old ECW and old WCW.

Better entrance music couldn't hurt...I find myself grimacing as certain wrestlers make their way to the ring.

Better writing would be nice...

For real! Blood in a wrestling ring isn't even a factor anymore. Flair bleeds walking to the ring! Come to think about it, didn't he used to bash guys like RVD who use props to get over? Something about garbage wrestling in general, I believe. Blood is just another prop at the end of the day.

Get rid of Hogan, Flair and Russo.

I watched my first Impact last week in maybe five years (I don't have the channel for it, but watched it with a friend), and I swear inbetween every match there was a fucking Hogan/Flair segment. And then immediately after every match there was some drama issue ie. a beatdown, a run-in, a Hogan/Flair run-in.

Hogan and Flair, mainly Hogan though is gonna run this company to the ground.
