How would you make TNA better?

[Arturo Classico]

So say you were given total control of TNA. What would you do to make the product on TV better?

If it was me I'd kill the nonsensical storylines, develop strong realistic characters, make the TNA Title important and make the X-Division good like it was when you had Styles, Daniels, Lynn, and Low-ki going for the title amd limit the amount of comedy characters, It's fine with Lethal and Dutt but Young, Williams and Shark Boy are starting to get to me.

Oh and enough of the heel champion dominating the show with stupid comedy bits, that was tolerable when Jarrett did it but with Christian and now Angle doing it's getting very stale. I mean Angle is good as a goofy heel but when he gets almost all the air time it's just annoying.

There was a thread talking about overhauling the roster. Oh well:

Scrap the following:
Shelly Martinez
VKM
Judas
The Angle family

Develop the following:
Women's Division (umm. . . more feuds, especially Roxxi)
Rellik (that's closet monster spelt backwards)
Roode
X-Division (without monsters destroying it constantly)
Eric Young (there really is potential to expand)
Annual X-Cups

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

I would put more emphasis on the actual wrestling product, especially the exciting X-Division stuff. I don't have a problem with the characters and the skits and stuff, since all that stuff does contribute to the product. I just don't think the show should be really centered around it, because fans can get all the sports entertainment they could possibly want from WWE. Plus with WWE having the high production values, most casual fans are gonna turn to WWE for their sports entertainment anyway because it looks cooler.

TNA should try to stay focused on providing an alternative to WWE. In many ways they have been doing that lately, but I still think they are focusing too much on the goofiness. For example I do not have a problem with the Angles renewing their vows in a comedy skit. However this should not have been the selling point of the episode in the advertisements.

I've tried 3 or 4 times now. They keep rejecting me.

[BlackJackRobby]

I would first bring back Jarrett to tv, with him splitting time on tv with Angle then hopefully neither would be used to much. I say that because they both are used to much when one alone is on tv.

I would not get rid or change any of the crap/funny storylines. I would have them come to an end though with conclusion.

TNA has a way of making everything last forever.

I would also obviously fire the booking crew or parts of it, Russo and Disco!!!

I would do that happily, and then have a VR day with parade and everything.

Get it back to my favorite Canadian, Jarrett, and Dutch with the book.

That is until Cornette or Heyman could be convinced to come in and help out also.

Last but not least I would bring jobbers back, and also find more X-Division wrestlers.

Heavyweights were fun when Abyss killed Kenny King.

I love the X-Division I liked it even more the first one hundred times I have seen all there matches. Now you can almost call the spots.

1. Push the drinking championship as the top belt
2. Have Bullet Bob Armstrong team with a different person every week to take on Tomko/Styles
3. Give Karen Angle the women's championship. Literally, just have Jim Cornette hand it to her with no explanation
4. Have Jeremy Borash wear a wacky hat
5. Keep delaying the Joe contract signing for another 6 months. I see the angle going places.
6. Speaking of Angle, market t-shirts with him wearing a speedo on the front and "Are you looking at my package?" on the back. I'd buy one.

Um how do I say this......oh I know

*wrestlecrap crickets chirping*

yep thats it.

[Arsis Black]

The wrestling is fine they just need to improve on storylines & characters and make more factions/stables

[Michael Coello]

Oh, the "How would you make TNA better" threads. Time for it already? Let me see if I got the basics right:

-Firing most of the booking team cause they suck.
-Firing some of the WWE guys cause they suck.
-Firing some of the boring guys cause they suck.
-Get rid of the 6 sides cause it sucks.
-Get rid of the stories that suck.
-Get rid of everything that sucks.

Then:
-Push everyone that's awesome
-Make the stories awesome.
-Turn everything awesome.

Did I get everything?

[Deleted]

Hire a writer that hates Russo's style and let them battle for control of TNA.

I bet either the absolute best or worst writing will come from such an endeavor.

[Welfare Willis]

When Kurt Angle is not on screen everyone should ask, "Where's Angle?"

Mike Tenay needs a evil twin.

Rock and Rave Infection should have access to time machine.

The theme song needs to be changed to a polka ballad.

Salinas needs to wear a shirt that says, "Got areola?"

[dh03grad]

Get rid of every person who made their name in WWE but Christian and Tomko. Re-emphasize the X division. End the bad comedy storylines. Leave the Impact Zone. New announcers. Thats a start.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Step 1: Hire Portia Frickin Perez

Step 2: ?????

Step 3: Ratings in the 9's

[machinegun]

No more Samoa Joe

No more whining by faces or heels about management in general

[Reverend BTY]

Michael J Fox. Somehow, he would make everything right.

[RedSmile]

1. Have the Angle Alliance angle end with AJ Styles blowing up and beating the tar out of everyone, thereby making him the face of TNA

2. Have Samoa Joe turn heel on Kevin Nash, push him as a top heel of TNA.

3. Do not hire Johnny Fairplay or Bobby Knight.

4. Keep those NASCAR guys out, unless they drive a TNA race car, and even then only for a cheap shill, and done.

5. Have James Mitchell manage Awesome Kong

6. Focus more on the X-Division. Especially now that the Team 3D involvment is over with.

7. Either push Rellik as an actual monster or get rid of him.

8. Judas Macias should have face paint.

9. Improve on camera angles and production. Get someone to improve entrance themes.

10. Do more shows like Global Impact.

[Timmy8271]

Get rid of the "Figurehead of managment" Jim Cornette. I hate when any promotion has a heel or babyface GM.

Turn Mike Tenay Heel

Get Rid of Jarrett as head booker.

You forgot how you would make TNA better.... unless you think it's fine as is...


I'm sure i'll get mixed reactions for this one, but put Vince Russo on the book with Paul E. Somehow I think that would work like a damn charm. It won't happen probably; but it's a thought.

[RedSmile]

Some more.......

11. Overhaul the Announce team, it needs it in a bad way.

12. Push Kaz as another top face of TNA, along with AJ

13. Continue the Robert Roode/Booker T feud.

14. Bring back Scott D'Amore at least as a manager.

15. Don't waste money on Sting unless he is around all the time.

16. DO NOT unmask Abyss, in fact turn him tweener and have Raven manage him.

17. Don't be so fast to sign ex-WWE guys. Just for the sake of them being ex-WWE guys.

18. Stop with the LAX stereotype garbage.

19. Push James Storm as a top heel

[Adam Pacman Khan (akkilla)]

1.hire masters
2. u know what now...
