I would like to see TNA doing more live shows and getting that down, then start touring and filming that live. Then move against raw. That seems like a better idea. |

So wrestling hasn't changed that much, so you are talking out of your ass and have some sort of vendetta against me so you are trying to dismiss whatever I have to says out of "oh he is just being BDC."

I feel like TNA is doing well lately, but I don't think they are quite ready to try to go head-to-head with WWE. I do think they can get there, and I want to see it happen, but it will take a lot longer than four weeks.
If this fails miserably it won't kill them, but it will definitely be a chink in the armor, so to speak. |

Also they just have a lot of stigma to over come. The need to tour, they need to show they have built new guys. They need to do more live. By doing free tapings in that tiny "arena" they look small time despite having top names.

If TNA were to tour or go on the road a lot for house shows, they would lose a key signing point with veterans. Most veterans and leftover WWE wrestlers end up going to TNA because of the guaranteed lack of traveling and touring compared to the WWE and past big promotions.
Sting, Foley, Booker T, and others went to TNA since they knew they would have a small work week and almost no traveling required which meant they could stay near their homes on the off days. |

TNA, I do believe, will have to become a proper touring company eventually, but as it is, they're okay. They could use a bigger home arena, but that's about it.
Though every PPV should be on the road, barring maybe one a year in the Impact Zone. |

Again, TNA has made lots of right moves, the problem is that they have a history of following up the right moves with nothing or disappointment.

This thread is about how TNA can get better, not about WWE. WWE has had much more success and a much richer history than TNA. It isn't really fair to TNA to compare it to WWE. I'm not saying WWE isn't with out its faults, and I'm not a WWE fan boy, which I know you are trying to paint me as. But WWE has had much bigger successes, built real stars and is the industry. TNA is possibly the next big thing, but that has been going on for the past 7 years.
I'll give TNA their due, they have exist 7 years, they look like they are building. But seriously, there are no were near on the same level as WWE. |

No, i was just pointing out that all wrestling companies make bad decisions, not just TNA. Btw despite what you may think, i am not a huge tna fan or anything, just like casually watching their shows recently and feel they have something that's worth building on.

No one ever said they didn't. Just because every other wrestling company makes bad choices doesn't excuse TNA's primarily disappointing history. TNA really doesn't have the invention of Wrestlemania to point to, or the nWo or any other game changing moments. I know, I know, they can, but they have been running on potential for some time now. I sincerely doubt one live Monday night edition is going to change anything.

I like TNA. I don't think it is better than PWG or ROH or the japanese stuff. But it is wayyyy better than RAW, better than ECW, and as good as smackdown. They need their matches to last longer, and going three hours will allow them to do that. They will get fans because monday night is 'wrestling night' people will tune in to see what they try and do.
