*Bangs head* Russo....is....not....on.....the....booking......team... Finally, someone else said it. He has, from all accounts very little input anymore on the product. Dutch Mantel and Jeff Jarrett are the culprits that need to be looked at. The bottom line is, you can fire anyone or hire anyone you want but if they don't start booking with some clarity of vision or consideration to basic common sense, any talent brought in will be dragged into the quagmire as well. Cornette would be a good start, but I'm guessing he's just there as a talent. Also, I'd be all for Don West turning heel manager and bringing in Nash on the announce team as that's the best place for Nash at this point.

To combine two previously mentioned ideas: Heyman and Ninjas.

-I'd actually put Russo on the booking team, but as part of a small team that books the undercard (which he's very good at). I'd also hire Gabe Sapolsky to be a booker. Maybe have Gabe and Russo work together booking the undercard. Have Cornette and someone else (not D'Amore, maybe Tenay) with Cornette as head booker.; Just those four.
-Get rid of Mantell as a booker. And if Jarrett gets pissy at that, he can go as well. Jarrett either is behind the scenes or a wrestler. Not both. That's the ultimatum.
-Get Dixie the hell out of booking meetings. Have Cornette filter her ideas as most of them suck. And smarten her up to the business. From everything I've heard, she's a money mark.
-Cut the fat. Kip, Jenna Morasca, Khan and Team 3D. Yeah, that's it. TNA doesn't need to cut too much.
-Beef up the tag division. I'd get Kevin Steen and El Generico, The Briscoe Brothers and Cade n Murdoch (as the Redneck Violence Connection, two physical heels that beat people up first and foremost). And I'd either go ahead and disband LAX or put them back together as a team. Whichever way the bookers favor.
-Take Tenay off the PBP. Either get Timmy Baltimore from OVW or Borash with a fully heel Don West.
-Phase out Nash and Steiner as wrestlers. Have them put over younger talent and then become personalities. Maybe team them up as a manager/trainer combo with a young guy or as part of a stable.
-Less makeup on the Knockouts (minus the Beutiful People as it's their gimmick) as some of them look fake with tons of makeup on.
-Have Suicide unmask as Daniels (as X-D Champ). Give a speech about how he had to mask up as this joke of a gimmick to get back in TNA and now that he has a title and the power, everyone is going down. Maybe team him with Samoa Joe as the Nation of Violence (and get rid of Joe's blade with Joe saying his most destructive weapons are his fists and his mind) and they can be tweeners who go after everyone.
-Have Foley take over for Cornette on screen. Cornette can still do a once-in-a-while appearance (like Jack Tunney) for serious stuff.
-Have Roxxi grow out her hair again and go back to Voodoo attire (the one right before the head shave)
-And finally PUSH THE HELL OUT OF THE X-DIVISION!

I sort of like Rhaka Khan. I see a lot of people would just fire her, is there no other role then what she's doing now she can go to?

Well here what I would do. First Russo and Mantell will fired. The following talent will released. -"Cute" Kip - Rhino -Brutus Magnus -Eric Young -Don West -Rhaka Khan - Which yeah talent does seem much of a cut. But a lot of changes with the current. -Kevin Nash (Would be offered an anouncer job. or maybe a mouth piece somewhere. No longer a wrestler role.) - Raisha Saeed (Will be unmasked and Be Cheerleader Melissa) - Abyss (Will get a huge makeover.) - The Governor (Gimmick dropped. Be back as Daffney.) -Unsure about the whole Suicide character. But once Kaz comes back. Maybe let him return with it. -Bring Back Daniels as the Fallen Angel. Now the creative Team will be bring back D'Amore, Tenay, and offer spot to Heyman and Gabe. Sign these talent: Paul London (Think he be great added to the X-Divison.) Elijah Burke (Young, talented, and a good talker. Can become something good given a chance.) Colt Cabana (We know he can talk and wrestle. Now time to show case to the WWE what he can do.) Tomko (When he is healthy we know how he was in TNA.) I think with a new creative team and some fresh faces on the TNA side. Will set TNA into a much better direction. That I think over time will improve numbers all over the board in a better way. More PPVs that should be like it used to be. As in worth the money. There last PPV showed how bad things are. It was not pretty. Lockdown will no longer be an all six sides of steel event. Time to bring back meeting back to the match and a lot of gimmick match. I will keep Lethal Lockdown match as apart of the event. Kinda like what WarGames was to fall brawl. Keep Eric Young, rehire Petey Williams and Chris Harris once he is in shape... Readjust the Knockouts so that there is a balance of heels and faces. Release Steiner. And for the love of god, make it so that the matches are not as contrived as they seem to be getting.

*Bangs head* Russo....is....not....on.....the....booking......team... I don't think anyone said he was. They just wanted to have his influence, however small, removed forever. Plus, if there's a chance it could make him cry, I'm all for it.

TNA does not have a roster as large as WWE, and to be quite honest is not competing with WWE in the sense that WCW did. So there's really no need for monthly PPVs. I'd drop them from 12 to 6 a year, that way there's more time to build up feuds and make the events worth something.
I could make that same argument for WWE as well, but why bother.

Sign Lance Storm to a contract where he sits in on creative meetings and, every time something stupid is pitched, hits them with superkicks.

1. Have either Alex Shelly or Chris Daniels begin stalking/attacking Vince Russo on air.....just tormenting the man. Do the exact opposite of the "Owner/PTB messing with (blank)" storyline......and make it very real seeming. Have Shelly/Daniels make videos parodying Russo's booking style with "Pole on a Pole matches" and swerves for no reason.....like anything brought up in a negative aspect regarding Vince Russo......have the wrestler go there.
The reason.....Russo crowing himself WCW champion.....the wrestler would take it as the highest insult that a writer would make himself world champion of a Wrestling Organization.
Now this sounds like I'm just blasting Russo......I'm really not, but there is No One in that company that has more Heat than Vince Russo. TNA should exploit that, but in a better way.
2. Have Paul Heyman financing that wrestler......and he and several ECW guys (Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu, and.....RVD) invade the company, pick up the remnants of the Frontline and make a new alternative to the MEM.
3. X-Division would be focused on more, and would be stripped of a lot of the gimmicks.....the rest of the show could have gimmicks and storylines, but I'd keep the X-Division pure. I'd also pull new guys in from Japan, Mexico, and the Indy scene.
And add Jim Cornette to the announce table.

THIS I mean, the E has VICKIE GUERRERO as one of his best HEAT MACHINE Vince Russo is a shit as a Booker, but I always thought that his heat is great The smarks hate him, the casuals hate him, come on, just put vince russo on my tv, and I will watch the show with the hope than somebody beat him

But he has to humbled for a while.....he can be the "Evil Heel Owner" at some point, but his character must go through some mental/physical/emotional TORMENT before that happens.
If TNA were to just throw him into the "Vince McMahon Role" right away, the fans would s**t all over it.
