Hand over booking responsibilities to Ultimate Warrior. Replace Cornette with George W Bush. A Dixie Carter title run. Hang on, this is the "ways to get TNA beyond a 1.1 rating" thread right?

When your champions are the following:
TNA World Champion: Vince Russo TNA World Tag Team Champion: Don West and Mike Tenay TNA Knockout Champion: Dixie Carter
Also Jim Cornette is replaced by Kamala as your TNA Management rep.

The better question is 'what haven't they done'? I have been on the brink of giving up on them for the last month. Their tag team and X divisions are pathetic compared to 2-3 years ago (when I started watching), and their main feuds are just plain boring. Even Kurt Angle vs. A.J. Styles sucks, and I would have wet myself 2 years ago if you told me that feud was coming.
TNA needs serious help. Hopefully the pending return of Jeff Jarrett and debut of Mick Foley does something to spice things up. They really need new tag teams and X division members as soon as possible.

TNA hired one of these guys: Okay, I probably wouldn't stop watching all together, but I would change the channel when they were on.

They've done about everything they can right now to drive me further and further away. But the only way they could full out make me stop watching would be to fire this woman

Put the title on Nash. I'd turn off straight away.

Seems like signing Kurt Angle already did it indirectly for me.

If they had no wrestling matches whatsoever I'd stop watching.

Have Jeff Jarrett and Kevin Nash form a face tag team that makes lame jokes and repeats them ad nasuem, wipes out entire score of opponents in 2-on-83 handicap matches without breaking a sweat, puts Shark Boy in a thong, and makes themselves the center of attention for the near-entirety of the show.
To add more fuel that fire, host a Knockout Search during the same period of time.

Not being on the air, especially given that it's on Thursday nights and there is nothing else that I find even remotely interesting on besides Impact.

i stopped watching a while back, around the time of the "chris abyss" garbage, because i wasn't enjoying the product as a whole anymore, and those skits with mitchell, abyss, sting, chocolate reign, rellik and anyone else who had the unfortunate luck to be caught in this monstrosity, actually left me feeling insulted that whoever booked it (i'm not gonna jump to conclusions and blame russo, who i think actually has the ability to create good angles) actually thought that i would accept this mule shit. i kept up with it by checking the results, and checking this board to see if anything decent happened, and youtubing it when something did. then i started youtubing more and more of the show, until i started watching again.
at the moment, unless the whole product goes belly up, or they create another...thing... like the abyss crap, then they could only get me to stop by firing roxxi, shelley or joe.

I always thought I'd watch WWE no matter what and I haven't watch Raw two consectutive times in more than 2 years. TNA entertains me and casual fans so you guys who think it sucks right now are likely the same one who said it sucked 6 months, a year two yaers ago. it won't matter everyone likes different things. For me TNA would have to really screw up to make me stop watching...
- Bring in Cena and I stop watching - Abyss takes off his mask and starts wrestling as Chris Parks...oh crap

I only watch because nothing else comes on Thursday nights.
If they keep doing what they are doing now, I might quit watching because they get a bit ridiculous.

If Angle and Christian left right now I doubt I'd ever watch it again. I can't get into most of their guys. A.J.'s OK but I wouldn't follow the promotion just to see him.

If the Knockouts go the same way as the X-Division . . . . And what happened to the X-Division? They get like 3 matches a week on the show. Thier mainstays are getting involved in stories not just werstling this makes them more marketable now and keeps them in your mind for bigger things later. Run this thru your head for a second 2 years ago Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Sharkboy, Alex Shelly, Johnny Devine ect. were all in opening matches, never given interviews, never given an story to build them up. They just went and wrestled and we enjoyed the highspots but thier was no story in the matches themselves until we started seeing guys work thru paces of a match with more than an objective of winning. Petey did it perfectly the other day. He is the champ right? A heel as well. Creed is new and shiny and green but needs to get over and TNA needs to make him seem like a huge deal. Petey puts him over in two other matches that maybe make it seem like he wasn't paying any mind to Creed. This last match you saw Petey start the match straight up. Creed starts getting ahead and the crowd gets into it. Petey the heel responds by starting to try and short cur. Creed see's this and still finds a way to get ahead. Petey starts really stepping up the heel tactics to get head. Finally they end up going at it counter for counter until another heel (Davari )is the only thing that breaks the match up. This guys is solid booking and told a story that backed up the story of why they were fighting to beging with. If this is indicative of the x-div being dfective in any way than I suggest you strat watching another show because this one will not entertain you as it is intended
