You know, I think TNA has something going with there little post impact show. It's sort of a backstage look, more "real", but it gives the guys real personalities, sort of like the way MMA fighters have them.

Guaranteed ideas to turn wrestling upside down:

  • End the PG Era: By having John Cena personally rape every child fan's mother.
  • Hire JR to do readings of Shakespeare.
  • Rehash the Attitude Era completely. Wait, this is how to change wrestling drastically, not how smarks would "fix" wrestling.
  • Make Vince Russo Head Booker of any major promotion. It will turn shit on its ear before the bankruptcy.
  • Deathmatches. Two men enter, one man exits.
  • legitimise wrestling by trying to cash in on MMA. It worked before.
  • Bring Back Playboy spreads...Starting with Santina.
  • Dixie Carter and Stephanie get married.
  • Strap Michael Cole in a suicide vest. People will tune in every week to see if he dies.
  • The same as before, but with Hogan.
  • Champions who reflect America: braindead hillbillies in hoverounds and Mexicans.

I really think this is going to be the future. Making wrestling more like a reality show. WWE and TNA both have elements of that but TNA is doing the best. TNA doesn't hype up the charitable work and outside ventures of their performers as if they are normal people outside the ring like WWE does. They instead portray the wrestlers as the same people outside of the ring as they are inside.

With reality TV being the huge craze it has been for years now I can't believe Vince hasn't done it. But then again Vince is usually about 8 years behind the times.

Yes. But Tough Enough was "real" reality TV and NXT is only "reality" in that it's a "competition".

TNA's reaction is the what I'm talking about specifically. It's reality style, but still scripted. Abyss is a sick, twisted monster on Impact and then also when he "exists" outside of the ring on Reaction. Randy Orton is the Viper and beats the shit out of Shameus with a chair but on the very same show is shown promoting reading at SummerSlam.

I used way too many quotes but do you get what I'm getting at?

I understand. I don't think it's a new concept though, from what you're describing. Sounds like how they handled things in the 70s and 80s.
