I would really move Don West from commentary. Mike Tenay and Mick Foley would be fine in the booth. Hell, a three-man team with Mike Tenay, Paul Heyman & Mick Foley could fucking rule, although three-man teams are risky (although Tenay works better in that environment where he can pick his spots).

What I meant by saving, was that with the old talent constantly going over, I don't see them having long term success (See: WCW). They're taking a formula that is working wonderfully and seemingly defecating all over it.

Just my opinion though.

I was on board until this. You can't have a decent opinion on TNA if you don't follow it. You just can't. If you don't watch, or know much about it, you can't see what's good and bad. You're judging based on hearsay, and that's just stupid.

If you know so much about the business, why aren't you in charge of a promotion? What are you doing on a forum?

This should be a fun one.

Gotta agree here. With the current formula, I can't see TNA lasting much longer. Yes, ratings are going up now, but that can't last forever they way they're going.

Like I said before, the veterans have to retire eventually, and they need to have replacements (that can be taken seriously as such) ready for when that time comes.

1. More Homicide

2. STOP REFERRING TO AJ, JOE, AND DANIELS AS THE FUTURE. They've been there longer than all of the Mafia, they are the present. Booker referring to Joe as an independent wrestler WHEN HES THE TNA CHAMPION doesn't help. Infact

3. Mafia needs to start jobbing out to the Originals/Frontline, not to Jarrett, to the other guys.

4. No more Sting

Nobody retires in pro wrestling, just look at Ric Flair.

People have been saying that since TNA went into business. First, they wouldn't make it at all. Then they couldn't make the PPVs work. Then they wouldn't last six months on TV. Then they wouldn't last a year. Then two years. And so on.

In fact, you're probably right that they can't keep up a ratings gain (is there one? I stopped paying attention to TNA ratings...Well, I never really cared about them) with their current plan, if you mean anything further than that, you're totally underestimating the amazing almost cockroachesque way they seem to survive on shit.

Good for you. It still doesn't explain why you're on a wrestling forum talking about how you could run a promotion instead of just doing that.

Well that was fun, but you're boring me now.

The ratings have been increasing slightly since mid-February. What I mean is that it doesn't seem feasible that TNA could stay afloat with the current plan of pushing veterans from other companies and burying their own talent.

Although it is surprising they have lasted with this SpikeTV deal. It was the best and worst thing they could get, really.

It's great because they have national exposure and can really market themselves and make some real money.

It sucks because they now have two hours of primetime to fill and they don't really know how to do it effectively.

Yet somehow they're still floating around 1.3 every week. It's kind of remarkable, really.
