Should TNA even have their own "answer" to WrestleMania?

Yeah, this would be better to discuss around the time Bound For Glory is actually held, but I feel like making the topic now.

Back when TNA announced that they had a monthly PPV deal, I was pretty happy. It meant that TNA could build on television towards a great show each month. Then I heard that they were looking to establish their own version of WrestleMania, and I thought "what the fuck?"

WrestleMania was established in an era when there were only a few PPVs every year. Fuck, the same goes for Starrcade. The two shows were the flagship PPVs for the WWE and WCW because they were special events that had a place in the fans' hearts, but a lot of that is because of their long history. Every TNA PPV realistically should have the same history, as they were all created at the same time in the same era.

I remember thinking that TNA should make each and every PPV of their's a WrestleMania. Granted, you can have every match on every PPV end a feud, but there is no reason why a little PPV in October cannot house the epic end to a TNA World Heavyweight Title Match, while in the X-Division, a program just begins.

Yeah, just basically discuss TNA's PPV strategy, and what you like about it, and don't like about it. Is taking their show on the road a good idea? Are they using their PPVs right? Do they have too many a year? Just the right amount? Whatever you want.
