If TNA gets a second show...

PWInsider:

"TNA is currently negotiating a new deal with SpikeTV. According to a source at SpikeTV, one of the current points being discussed is TNA getting an additional 1-2 hours of original programming for week.

As reported on PWInsider.com earlier in the week, one pitch was for a "pure" X-Division show. In the past, TNA has discussed an all Knockouts series and graduating the TNA Spin Cycle from an online series to a full weekly series.

TNA currently has two hours for Impact, plus an additional two hours for a Saturday replay.

Split the roster evenly and call it TNA Xplosion. Two TNA world champs(Impact and Xplosion) another mid card title, and have the women and tag champs cross over. I dont think the X-division would be strong enough to carry their own show. A TNA women's show would require a huge influx of new women cause watching the same knockouts on Impact on a Knockouts show would suck.

I know if it was me, I'm not watching just knockouts, or spin cycle. I'd watch if it's midcarders centered around X-Division and Knockouts. It's just simpler to go the Xpolosion route though. Do like what WWE does with Superstars at least. Hey, I get to watch Kurt Angle wrestle Creed this week. I'd actually tune in for that type of stuff.

Nooooo split please. The main event is already stretched it seems. I don't mind making it as important as Impact if they want to, but just have one roster, one set of titles.

I'll never understand why people think TNA would need a 'split'. It made sense for WWE because they needed to do SOMETHING as they were clearly stagnant without competition and had a such a huge roster, but it isn't necessary for TNA. They just need that extra hour to give the handful of people who get lost in the shuffle some screen-time. I would go with an expanded Xplosion but a Knockouts show would be beneficial for the KO's and for giving the men more Impact time.

[hbk4ever09]

This show really needs something special about it though or it's going to look like crap in comparison to Impact. Have fans vote for a set of main events or something.

A show that features everyone just like Raw/Smackdown balanced pre-brand split.

I still prefer the idea of an all knockouts show as kind of the SHIMMER to thier ROH but think they should give both ideas a test run first. Explain the situation to the fans and announce a special iMPACT where the first hour will be all knockouts and the second hour all X-Division or vice versa. Which ever garners the highest ratings as they kids like to say BOOK IT!

I would actually like to see a show that's half X-Division and half Knockouts. Don't advertise it as such but just book it that way. The thing is those are probably the main two reasons to watch TNA but don't get quite enough exposure on Impact.

It would be funny to see how all the "names" would react if an all Knockouts or X-Division show drew the same ratings or higher compared to their own show.

I would like to see a mix of Spin Cycle and normal show. Just have the wrestlers sit around discuss whatever and throw it to a match.
