TNA is for Sale and You Buy...

[Orange]

What do you do with the company? Be it behind the scenes stuff or on the screen stuff, what would you do if somebody handed you TNA in its entirety and said "go nuts".

I was playing EWR tonight and thought a thread like this might make for some good fun.

[Rave]

Tear it down and rebuild.

[Deleted]

Complete reboot and name change

[percymania]

First thing I would do? Interview all the Knockouts. Over and over again.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Change the Opening theme to "I'm Black Ya'll" by CB4 without telling anyone.

Honest to God, I end the wrestling side and turn to the video library. Start filming shoots with the roster on the Dixie years, plot out Best Ofs, and other documentaries. Get all that made and then turn to working out deals with Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and Highspots. Maybe try and run a few big shows a year under the TNA banner like Dreamer does with HOH but not sure on that. Worse comes to worse I call up WWE and offer them a deal in exchange for some cash and a job.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Reboot.

Divide wrestlers into divisions (heavyweight, X, tag and women's) and stick to them.

G-1/Champion Carnival-style tournaments to establish who the champions and top contenders are for all divisions (heavyweight Jan-Mar, X Apr-Jun, tag Jul-Sep, women Oct-Dec).

[Clawley Race]

Step 1.) Bring back Don West
Step 2.) HO-tel bar!

That would be my plan. End Wrestling end, sell library to Vince and ask for an archival job.

Fix this location nonsense they're having right now. I'd run probably around ten cities: New York, Chicago, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, St. Louis, Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis, and Houston.. not to mention the yearly UK tour. I'd change the theme song process, by striking a deal with ReverbNation. There are plenty of bands that want exposure, and I'm sure if we could get them studio time/use their music, it would sound a hell of a lot better than what Serj is putting out. I'd shrink the set. This somewhat comes without being said, as the arenas I'd book would be somewhat smaller. I'd rather have a sold out arena of 2,000 people, than have 2,000 in a 15,000 sear arena. ACTUALLY ADVERTISE. The only reason I knew LockDown 2012 was in Nashville is because 1) I watched the product and I saw a single Billboard that was only up for a week before the event. Get on the radio, buy ad time on RAW, I don't care. Get the f***ing brand out there. I'd also try and raid the indies, and get as much new/fresh talent as possible. Jeff Hardy, Team 3D, and Kurt Angle all want back in WWE. Lashley probably wants to focus on Bellator. MVP will either probably go back to Japan or retire very soon. It's a situation similar to WWE's current one. There aren't too many stars you can put in that main event slot. Start moving talent that's already there into the main event, and bring in new stars to fill their void.


oh and I'd fire Vince Russo.

[Just call me D.j.m.]

Remove Dixie from television, creative and production. FOREVER. Keep the PPVs to mid-sized arenas across the country, TV tapings in the Impact Zone.

Keep up the YouTube stuff. The Spin Zone, especially. There's no reason that can't be a weekly regular YouTube series. I'd also hire back Don West. The man has more good will with TNA fans than anyone not named AJ Styles.

And of course, advertise. Viral marketing, paying for ad time on WWE programming, guerrilla style, whatever.

And on my first Impact taping as head of TNA Wrestling, I cut my own promo, publicly firing Vince Russo, and announce that Dixie Carter will never appear on television again, and that *I* will never appear on television again.

And make sure Barry Scott has a job for life as "The Voice of TNA".

And last, I'd make Jeremy Borash my President. He's earned it.

Well if they still have their TV deal, then it's much easier. If they don't then it's new strategy plan that I have not thought of yet.

-I would probably rename them Total Impact Wrestling. Instead of going back forth about the name of the company being TNA and the name of the show being Impact Wrestling. You get rid of the embarasing "TNA" but don't completly abandon their past by keeping the Total. On the show when wrestlers would talk about the company they would say "Total Impact".

-Hire Court Bauer as the guy running the promotion.

-Pick a spot to film the TV shows all year long.

-Tour the same area all year long. Make that place your territory. Then once a year in the fall you visit Britain(like they are doing now). And in the Fall you visit the rest of the country.

-A-hire the best wrestlers in the states who not working with the WWE. Cut the guys that are average wrestlers. B-Then bring back the 12 PPV per year and create a business where the buyer will have his money's worth by getting the best wrestling in the freakin World. You set up 8 matches every time with a good length and make sure that the 16 guys that are gonna be involved are simply the best of their craft. No swerves, mostly clean bouts. But the best action and wrestling.

-Use the weekly show like in the old days, to create heat for people to watch the PPV and watch the house shows. Most of the time, say I'll watch RAW and it's a bunch of matches that have zero consequences to anything. But the WWE, as big as they are, can afford that. When you're not them you have to use what you have for maximum effects. You know like when Magnum TA got attacked by the Anderson? This is how you create heat. Notice they didn't have Magnum face Arn the next week. No Magnum disappeared and tried to get his revenge on house shows and big shows afterwards. Let the thing build itself by some clever booking and patience.

-Make a deal with Netflix for the library.
