If TNA had any balls, the first episode on Destination America would start with a montage of their most infamous moments, dating back to the Asylum days, and as the montage becomes more fast paced and dramatic, it ends with the AIDS vomit that was Bound For Glory '14 before a loud BANG -- -- and we fade into a bedroom, where Dixie Carter awakens, startled by the dream she just had. Just as she's trying to get her wits about her, she notices that she hears the shower running. Which is weird, she lives alone. Who could be in her bathroom? Cautiously, she approaches the bathroom and opens the door to see a man with his back turned in the shower. As Dixie approaches closer, the man turns around -- "Oh! Good morning." Boom, motherf***er. That's how you do a restart. Complete motherf***ing dream sequence. Crowd goes apeshit, buyrates triple.

Here's a thought: revamp the X Division. Sort of go back to the "not about weight limits, about no limits" mentality, but with a new twist: the X title becomes a pure competition title. Run ins or cheat victories become an ultra-rarity with this belt, it is almost always defended 1 on 1 and very, very rarely in a gimmick match. Stack the division with high flyers, mat tacticians, martial artists, and a few brawlers for good measure. Give it a sort of MMA feel by not being about any particular style, but rather about two guys going man to man in an intense match for a prize to be coveted.

I want to see them play it *exceedingly* safe for the first few months, at least. Long-ish matches. Minimal DQ/non finishes. Enforce the rules. Give people kind of a baseline pro-wrestling to get used to before going off into Sports Entertainment type stuff. Don't try to take on WWE. Just build the brand slowly, without anything too flashy.

I think TNA really needs to do this in order to make any progress. Having the Spike TV TNA on Destination America will not draw new fans, just lose old fans. Bolster the X Division with guys like Mike Bailey and Trevor Lee, guys that can fly amazing well but need some experience under their belts which having opening contents would give them. Look at bringing in tag teams to rekindle the division, like the Gentlemen's Club, Super Smash Brothers, The Hooligans, The Flatliners.
The need to scout companies outside of the limelight, they need to find diamonds in the rough and bring them in. Make a new AJ Styles, James Storm, Abyss, a TNA original. But with that they have to change one key thing, exclusivity. Instead of trying to control bookings and where the wrestlers go instead they make a deal "don't work for the WWE or ROH and if we want you for a show we're first priority other than that go wherever the mood takes you"

Bronson Pinchot. World Champ.
What, you don't think that'd be some ratings? "Don't be ridiculous" would be the hottest catchphrase this decade.

PLEASE change the entire presentation. New camera angles, new ways the guys come in, new everything. Do what Paul Heyman said he was going to do and present it more like MMA. KEEP a ranking system, and use it. Strip away all the WWE mentality and bullshit. I've never seen Lucha Underground outside of a few clips, but I heard they're presented completely differently and its a breath of fresh air. Well take it even further. Invent new shit! You don't have to take after WWE, ACTUALLY be your own thing. I wanna love TNA SO bad, its what brought me back into wrestling in 2009. And then Hogan happened and I switched to WWE. Please give me a reason to love you, TNA . Oh, and change your name fully. Impact Wrestling is a decent enough name and has SOME name recognition at this point, drop the toxic initials. EDIT: And let's rework the contract system, while we're at it! Don't sign people to exclusive contracts, just have them sign a contract that they'll give you 1 month's notice before signing an exclusive WWE contract (or any exclusive that would prevent someone from dropping a title in a decent amount of time). Everything's pay per appearance, letting us have a nice rotating roster and you'll never know who shows up, and the boys can wrestler indy dates when you're not booking them.

Abyss and Tommy Dreamer on the biggest PPV of the number 2 US promotion in 2014 is some mechanized-ebola levels of deadly.

Should they do a hard reboot? I don't know. It could work, but I have given them so much defense and so much rope in the past and all too often they betrayed me. I gave up watching every week in 12. I follow casually and I will give her a shot in January, but I'm not excited like I had been pre-2011
