If you were Jeff Jarrett, how would you change or save TNA wrestling?

  • Change your name immediately. Not TNA. Not impact. Not global.
  • Get distribution on Netflix, or Hulu.
  • Make solid, long-term, quasi-exclusive agreements with LU, and NJPW. Position yourself as the #1 place for a wrestler who wants global exposure but a steady American paycheck they can feed their family with
  • Allow superstars to own their own likeness but do an 80/20 deal for merch; and the merchandise remains your rights in perpetuity when they leave (but they can make new merch and call themselves their name for life)
  • Have a super-show in september, right before football season; it's a boring time for sports and there isn't an incredibly major WWE or NJPW show.
  • Do not hire an announcer people are already tired of or a reject of another company (unless it's a famous wrestler who s transitioning to announcing)
  • Convince Jim Ross to be your head of talent relations and scouting.
  • Hire Jake Roberts to coach newer wrestlers on promos.
  • To save cost, rotate between only 3-4 cities for events. Like have shows in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and San Diego, and only rotate leading to quarterly ppvs/special events. That way, wrestlers who don't want to travel can decide they want to go to Japan for 3 months for G1 or something.
  • Show vignettes of wrestlers TRAINING; like working on a finisher for a big match with another Babyface (like for mania show Cena American alpha preparing in the gym for their fight vs the Usos), or a heel lifting hella grimey (think rocky 3)
Thats all I got.

I agree with all this and want to add about the name change. TNA is a stupid name, this isn't Attitude era where tongue in cheek references are cool. It's a stupid name regardless of that or if it truly means Total Nonstop Action.

Also the six sided ring is still just something I'll never get into.

Odd question,

Would the name NWA add or decrease prestige? And nwa has to be pretty easy to buy right?

If the NWA was easy to buy I imagine Vince would have bought that shyt years ago in order to turn it into a proper nationwide farm system.

Nah, he bought everything that WAS NWA (Crockett, AWA, mid South, ecw, its BELT, etc) so NWA as a purchase has absolutely no value to WWE...It's just a name..

As for a nationwide farm system...What value is that for Vince if he has always had his own farm system in OVW, FCW, ECW, and wrestlers go to him for opportunities? Their prospecting is currently paid for by ROH and NJPW and they have a farm system in Florida.

I hear you though, if I was Vince I would've done that...But he ain't wired like that.

Vince is legit scared of seeming like a straight up wrestling promoter.

I think when HHH takes over we'll see something similar to what I'm talking about. It's something that would help the business overall and would give them extra shyt to put on the network.

I agree...I mean he hid the fact that they were funding ECW and used them as a pipeline in both directions. Weird.
