Where does TNA go from here?

[ChemicalBk]

I almost feel as if theres too many promotion for much roster growth and that may lead to over saturation of repetitive matches next year. Guys who I would like them too bring in are almost all signed with other promotions. When in years past TNA was kinda the only promotion giving exclusive deals in the US. guys like The Young Bucks,Jay Lethal,Kenny Omega, Alberto ect arent even options but atleast they've been scouting overseas like the UK for good talent. with NJPW,Lucha Underground,ROH,CMLL, and AAA alll having guys on exclusive deals and NXT's boom the roster pool is thin.

TNA's new talent like EC3,Bram,Shaw,Havok,Kenny King, Taryn, are all good but not yet well rounded enough to carry a program without working with veteran talent. there veteran pool is also thin when MVP and Angle went down we were forced to watch Menagerie VS bro mans matches and Mr Anderson a lot because of a thin roster.

I expect The Wolves,Low-Ki, Joe, and Aries to be featured prominently but where do they go storyline wise that hasnt already been done with them I would like TNA too maybe turn all of them heel but they have no faces aside from Hardy,Roode,and Angle.

I expect a return of AJ to TNA at the end of the year even tho the nJPW money is good I think this new multiple TV show deal + the fact he can do other indies may entice him to leave NJPW/ROH.

I expect EC3 to rise and get a long title run. WIth Angle and a long program with Hardy.. I'd keep Lashley away from him until Lashley turns face waaay down the line.

I'd like them too Bring Kong and Pope back also. Maybe give Chris Hero a shot with a good gimmick too freshen matches up.

TNA just need to keep booking like they have done the past 6 months and stop making stupid mistakes they have done in the past. Have Dixie read the Death of WCW book and tell her let people who know how to write television do the decision making.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

They should be content with what they are -- a TV show, and focus on trying to deliver the best episodes they can. They aren't smart enough and their pockets aren't deep enough to be anything else. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I say cancel the PPVs altogether and have a 3-hour event on DA every other month.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Stay way from Vince Russo, stop blowing money on people way past their prime, no more ECW focus

consistent booking, well produced shows, no more letting Impact be the promo for the next show coming on.

No more Angle runs...he's done for, keep him as onscreen authority if they choose, but he shouldn't wrestle anymore

It won't happen, but a working arrangement between ROH, TNA and NJPW would be really cool...probably moreso about a year ago than now though. TNA and ROH don't really compete much....the PPV #s are now so small.....I think WWE is so big that come kind of loose Territory alliance between TNA/ROH/NJPW and maybe a AAA would be interesting.

I think a once a year big convention style Las Vegas PPV in the summer featuring New Japan, TNA and ROH...maybe even invite some other indies to appear around the weekend and try to turn it into a Wrestling Comic Con type deal...might prove better than each one trying an individual event in the US.

At this point what could it hurt? ROH on Sinclair stations, TNA on Destination America and NJPW on whatever that channel is.......not exactly CBS/NBC/ABC fighting it out.

But since that has zero percent chance happening, I think TNA can hope DA grows as a channel and they get real estate on TV and hit on some kind of new star thing...even if it is reality based.

James Storm was talking about doing a reality show based on him starting a real bar back where he is from.....if done right he has enough personality to make that interesting, and maybe you get some synergy etc. That is just an example of something that could happen. Of course, Eric Young is doing some stuff and that doesn't really translate.

TNA was doing a very good job in the summer of 2014 in New York City. I think they should go back to that. The difference this time should be to focus on the younger stars and stray away from ECW. It is time to rebrand the entire company, and it is time to build yourself as an alternative.

Continue the grounded storylines and focus on championships like you have. You also have to save as much money as you possibly can. Don't worry about ratings on a week-to-week basis. I like the idea of having PPVs 4 times a year, but you have to really advertise the PPVs, which I am sure Destination America will do.

Once EC3 is back, it's time to push him all the way and have him dethrone Bobby Roode.

go all in on Hogan

I hope they can reset and sign more fresh talent like they did when they were on FSN.

That was my favorite period of TNA, the uniqueness had to me tuning in every friday at 3 to watch.

Hope they switch the color schemes. I hate black/blue for them & smackdown

 

[Grifter]

out of business

 

[Jello Biafra]

Signing indie dudes or snatching up 'deavored ROH or NXT guys and then building them into stars is where TNA needs to focus.
Don't get all desperate to sign anyone who has ever been in WWE just because they worked in WWE.
If they sign a WWE guy then it should be someone who was badly mishandled in WWE and could be given a fresh start in TNA.

They should also look into re-building the tag team and KO divisions with some new blood.

And bring back managers! I miss the days of awesome heel managers and a lot of guys could really benefit from having a manager handle the mic work for them while they get better.

I also never want to see any type of authority figure vs wrestler storyline ever again in my lifetime. Let Kurt just be the guy in charge (maybe let him wrestle once or twice a year as a special attraction), keep Dixie off TV and focus on making the wrestling product fresh and new.

Sign Cesaro when he gets them deavors

Sign Cesaro when he gets them deavors

and add a rope

 

[Reality Check]

They're already getting a lot more promotion on Destination America than they were on Spike. Was watching the channel last night and they had a TNA commercial play during every commercial break.
