They have a lot of great in ring talent. Jeff Hardy, RVD, Kurt Angle, The Pope, Abyss, AJ Styles, MCMG, Beer Money, Stevie Richards, and more.

TNA's problem is behind the scenes. Their booking and writing is crap. We didn't need ANOTHER "one off" ECW show. We don't need Hogan and Flair. And dare I say it, the wrestling world no longer needs Sting. These were all guys who were signed to take TNA to "the next level" but never did.
You know what TNA needs? They need to have a meeting with Spike TV, and ask if they can rip off one more thing from WWE. Do something like the Pillman/Austin bit where Pillman pulled a gun on Austin. And do it with TNA guys. Don't do it with people who were in WWE, and don't sign on big names to do it. If they want to hit that next level then they need to do what WWE isn't doing. Shock me, wow me, amaze me. Bring back personas like J.J. Dillion who was a manager, instead of having WWE diva's stand by their kayfabe lover's side. Drop the F bomb on a PPV during a "shoot". Remind me that there are still people who are not in CZW that has balls.

And now we battle... LOL.

1) Abyss and Stevie Richards shouldn't be mentioned with those other names.

2) I do agree that the entire ECW reunion show and having to see those guys hang on to the last 2 seconds of their 15 minutes in the sun is frustrating. I'm just going to say it, Tommy Dreamer is overrated by leaps and bounds and has only been built up by revisionist history. There's a reason why he was still at ECW while guys were getting their money from WCW and the WWF and it wasn't because he loved the company so much.

3) I disagree about Flair, Hogan, Sting, Nash, etc... no longer being necessary. All those guys can play a huge part in getting over the younger guys if Russo wasn't a fucking idiot and Dixie wasn't a fucking mark more concerned with being a "cool" boss than making the smart decisions.

Flair is one of the greatest on the mic while a lot of the TNA talent struggles with that. Putting him with a stable was great and they should have done it a lot sooner, although they're fucking retarded for not having Lethal go cocky heel after beating the "man" and joining with Fortune.

The guys like Sting, Nash, and Jarrett can help put the younger guys over and I honestly kind of like the thing they have going with Jarrett.

Hogan is the one who should fucking go. I don't need to see him three times per show. He has more value as an attraction who may show up once or twice a month for "big" announcements than as a regular character.
