There was a thread about this just a few days ago.
Great wrestler but not marketable enough for a major run. Looking at the guy what makes me want to tune in? If I'm a casual fan that doesn't recognize him what draws me to want to watch him on television? Nothing.

If I'm a casual fan that doesn't recognize him what draws me to want to watch him on television? Nothing. No, he has an opinion. Daniels has a look different enough from the standard wrestling archetypes but believable enough as a threat to stand out. Put a mic in his had, or put him in the ring and his style in both is genuinely intriguing. The "casual fan" already doesn't watch TNA because of its stigma as WWE-lite. Putting former WWE guys or TNA guys who fit the WWE-"look" (Bobby Roode, James Storm)* doesn't automatically give TNA the distinction as an alternative product, something that, when emphasized, has brought the promotion its greatest success. If we're talking about drawing in new viewers, absolutely nobody on the active roster has produced a series of slam dunk promotional endeavors as Daniels. He's excelled in every media appearance and interview he's been put into. Adding that to his excellent work on the mic, consistency in the ring, and you have someone who you could build your company around. How is he not marketable? *FOR THE RECORD, I enjoy all the aforementioned talents' work, most of their title runs and agree that they should be in the main event. I'm making a point about "look" and "marketability." |

Marketability in a company that isn't marketable to begin with means nothing. No matter who you put in the main event scene, TNA's numbers aren't growing.

Their numbers don't grow because of the main event scene. Don't underestimate word of mouth promotion. Chances are people don't tune into tna because they know the same has beens from wwe will be champion and running the joint. But if the main event were to be constantly made up of wrestlers the people ACTUALLY want to see, more viewers will come in. |

Regardless of this, of the roster TNA current has, no one in particular will more people than normal tune in. So why not give Daniels a run as champ? Wouldn't hurt. They'd still get 1.0s. |
