Stop having Sting going over younger talent. I don't think it's Sting's intention, as I've heard he wanted to put Abyss over clean at Genesis last year, but instead management wanted go through with that crapty DQ finish. I'm not blaming Sting.

You're assuming they need saving.... Okay, yeah they DO need saving. Jarrett/Carter/Russo seem to be out of touch with their fan base. And there is nothing that their fan base won't love more than prank calls to Vince McMahon!

I'd rather if they went to Titan Towers and doorbell ditched them, but this is good too.

Remember this? www.youtube.com/watch?v= _4eUO7jfqMQ&mode=related&search= Just put the link together as Don West got a bit too happy towards the end and the censors were asleep at the switch. When did this air? It wasn't shown during the actual ppv. They showed the Angle video and then went to black.

The PPV cut off with Jarrett having the stunned/confused look on his face.

So while I was laying in bed trying to sleep I began thinking about TNA last year when the batphone randomly appeared. I came to thinking about how phones are underutilized in wrestling outside of Paul E., Eric Bischoff, and Vince McMahon. It got me thinking that they should bring the batphone back. Only this time it's their hotline to Vince McMahon himself! And every night at the end of the show Tenay picks up the phone and dials Vince's number, waits until he says Hello... AND HANGS UP ON HIM! Tenay: We've got Kevin Nash here, about to do our weekly Batphone call. Nash says he has experience at this. *Nash picks up the phone* Don: Look at this, Mike. Look at how carefully he handles the phone. Tenay: Signs of a true veteran. *Nash dials the phone and puts it up to his ear* Tenay: Is it ringing, Kev? Nash: Hold on. Don: The suspense is KILLING me! *A voice answers* Vince: Hello? Nash: Hey Vince, it's Kev. Vince: Hey, what's goin' on? Nash: Nothin', just workin' down in Florida. Vince: Cool. Still here in Stamford. Nash: Cool. You hiring? Vince: No, but you can come chill over here. I just rented the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. You down? Nash: Yeah man, let's do it. Hey, you got any weed? Vince: Hell yeah, man. Come on over. Nash: Cool, I'll be there in a few hours. *Nash hangs up* Tenay: Big Kev, how did it go? Nash: Went alright. Gonna chill over there for awhile. I'll see you guys later. Don: UN-BE-LIVABLE! Don and Tenay: DID YOU SEE THAT?! Tenay: Referee Rudy Charles totally missed that actual call! He still thinks Nash made a prank call! Don: I can't believe this Mike. Nash is SO damn crafty! -------- Sorry, I thought it would be cool if Kev and Vince were just a couple of dudes.

* Don West picks up the batphone * Tenay: Don has the phone! He is sitting next to the phone! * Don begins dialing * Tenay: He is dialing! Yes folks, he is DIALING THE PHONE! Don: It's ringing, Mike! Tenay: It's ringing!!! The phone is ringing on the other end! Don just called someone, and he is waiting to see if they pick up! Person Don called: Uh, hello? Don: PELE!!! PELE!!! * hangs up * Kurt Angle: Hi! Sorry guys, but it's in my contract that I have to appear in every segment. ADRENALINE RUSH YAAAAAA! TNA summed up. Sad.

If the solution doesn't involve HUSTLE I don't think it will work. . ..

My idea would have been fire Sting, Kurt Angle, Andrew Martin, Pacman Jones, Black Reign, Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, Scott & Ric Steiner, Brother Ray, Brother Devon, Dutch Mantell and BG & Kip James. I would keep Raven, Rhino, Christian Cage, Rhino, Kevin Nash, Ron Killings, James Mitchell, Gail Kim, Jackie Moore, Mr. Backland & Christy Hemme because out of the former WWE/WCW stars, I either could do something with them, they are more than willing to put people over, or they arent wrestling so they wont take away from the actual talent. With firing Angle, I will strip him of all the titles and have them vacated. The TNA World Heavyweight Championship will be determined in ??(I dont have a name yet) where ten of the very best are inside a cell and the only way to lose is to just leave the cage. This could happen volutarily or if you are too incapacitated that the EMTs have to drag you out. The TNA X-Division Title will be decided in a Ultimate X Match The TNA Tag Team Titles will be decided in a battle royal where the last two men in the ring are your champions.

I'd agree with most of that except firing 3D and Sting. Use 3D to help rebuild the tag division and Sting to put over some of the younger guys like AJ and Christopher Daniles.
I'd hire quite a few guys as well once the two hour timeslot is agreed. Billy Kidman, Pac, Jack Evans, Mikey Whipwreck and Amazing Red would be hired to sill the X Division. Jeff Jarrett would be allowed to challenge OCCASIONALLY for the TNA belt but never getting another reign. Chris Daniels would have a strong push before being established as a main eventer. Jazz, Lacey and several other females would be hired to build a women's division. And I'd personally try to hire Giant Bernard (for Tomko to fight in the tag division), Fight Club, Christian York and Joey Matthews, T2K, La Resistance and The Briscoes to bolster the tag team division. (All of these guys have potential as singles stars as well)

(All of these guys have potential as singles stars as well) Im not gonna try to bring too many former stars from elsewhere because most of them already had their time to shine or didnt deserve it. So that would make me not La Resistance and Giant Bernard...however, if I can keep those guys as only a tag team....it might work. The women's division would be good to bring in, but if I do....I would need it to be legit with actual women wrestlers and I would bring in April Hunter, Lacey, Jazz....among others.

I know I've said this before...but does TNA really need "saving" right now? Granted, they had a down week with Pacman's debut, but for the most part their ratings have either been steady or slowly growing. Yes, the former ROHers and other indy guys are getting the shaft in favor of WWE/WCW castaways, but if ratings are any indication, people don't miss them much. I hate that fact, but there it is.
Despite my dislike for their product right now, there's plenty of other people interested. TNA is surviving just fine. I don't see how it needs to be "saved."
