"Spike... We can both agree that TNA is in need of a major overhaul. Changes must be made in order to salvage and grow this brand. So what I'm about to suggest may be a little out there, but we need innovative ideas in times like these. My plan to save TNA is this... Rocket Boots. We're going to have the whole roster wear Rocket Boots. You can't break the glass ceiling while you're feet are planted on the ground. If we can't get Rocket Boots, I can make do with Moon Shoes and fire extinguishers. I will accept a blank check, but I'm not above using bags of cash with a dollar sign on it." Just hire Teddy Hart as a booker, he wanted to use cats as weapons and also wrestle with magnetic boots on the ceiling

How about we cut the length of the episodes in half, add a laugh track, and start advertising it as a dark comedy?

Simple three pronged attack:
1. Fire the booking staff. Tell every wrestler over forty that they have a year left on their contracts. They can take an early buy-out, take months off to book themselves on the independent circuit, or offer them booking or agents jobs. After a year, terminate who's left.
2. Begin to transition established stars into the next stage of their lives. The thirty-five to forty year old wrestlers and talent should start to expand their uselessness in other areas with the company. In a year, reboot the product. The look, the belts, the story lines, everything.
3. Downsize. Find intimate venues. Make TNA Wrestling an event. Give it more of a fight club feel. Give the fans the feeling that Kenny King and LowKi can only be seen once IN YOUR TOWN! Have no fear in having crowds of only a couple grand...would it get that much different from The Impact Zone?

Give us one more chance. I know we have failed to meet our agreed terms thus far, but we are still drawing good ratings for your network in our time slot. So give us one last chance. Whatever conditions you name, I will meet them. Put us on a different night, put us in a different time, shorten us from two hours to one, whatever you want-but don't cancel us. I will cut production, I will give you a say in editing, I will promote Bellator and other shows on our program, whatever you decide. But don't cancel. Give us one more season to turn things around and I swear to you, I will pull out all the stops. I will put on the best shows I possibly can and will not rest until the ratings are up. If I am not able to raise ratings to you're approval then we will leave your network with no bad blood between us. But give us one more chance.

Become a partner with that Global Force Wrestling promotion that's really been making headlines around the world. I don't know who is running GFW, but they know how wrestling should be done.
All press releases and announcements - no actual wrestling shows. Amazingly intelligent.

I'd tell Spike that his brothers need him more than ever now. Bubba Ray's push is...
Oh. Spike Network.

1. Fire the booking team. 2. Dixie Carter and Vince Russo wont even be allowed to attend TNA events. 3. Fire up some old Georgia Championship Wrestling and Florida Championship wrestling tapes and show Spike and the roster and point and say "THAT is what we are going for, THAT level of intensity". 4. Anyone over 45 on the roster is fired 5. Anyone over 40 has one year left before they can either leave, take agent/trainer/ambassador positions. 6. The world title is SPECIAL...it does NOT get defended free on TV every week and the champ STAYS the damn champ(heel or face) for a LONG time. 7. Expand the X division 8. Expand the knockouts BUT start getting women who can wrestle irregardless of their eye candy attributes. 9. Give the Impact Zone more of a fight club or Thai underground martial arts feeling. TNA will never compete with the WWE in production values so dont even try. 10. KAYFABE. Keep the talent separated even on promotional events. Old school style. 11. Bring back the squash match no name jobber. There is always some local or indy guy who would love to be on tv even if its to get totally squashed and something I loved about the old WWF/NWA was some random guy who looked like a postman getting destroyed by Abdullah the Butcher or Buzz Sawyer in like 2 minutes. 12. Cut down on the stupid Menagerie style elaborate entrances. Hit some music, get out there, kick ass. 13. Interact with the audience more. Have the babyfaces high five the audience when they are kicking the heel's ass, have the heels threaten to hit someone or have a few planted kids that the heels can steal their soda or popcorn from, ANYTHING like that, get the crowd involved. 14. bring back the old school local match promotion. like have (for example) Samoa Joe cut a quick promo saying "This Saturday at the Lincoln County Armory I am going to kick Low Ki's ass all up and down Jefferson Avenue so you better be there!!" 15. Bring back the old school Memphis Interview attack angle. Remember when Lance would be interviewing someone like Jerry Lawler then out of nowhere Eddie Gilbert would just run into the interview and smash Lawler with a baseball bat or some shenanigans? DO IT!
these are just some of my ideas

Ok SpikeTV executives, you know how there are these wrestling fans on the internet who claim that WCW would still be a viable company had Time Warner not abandoned them? They're pretty annoying. Do you really wanna be responsible for creating more of them?

"Remember, The Running Man? Well, this time Jessicka Havok is the stalker, and every week she'll choose a new Knockout to hunt. Now so we don't get complaints, she won't kill them she'll just capture them and lock them in the old Aces & Eights clubhouse. Just imagine if during Anderson vs Samuel Shaw, Taryn Terrell comes running out with Havok walking after her, Taryn cuts through the ring, Havok follows and beats the crap out of Anderson, before continuing her chase.
If anyone tries to interfere, Havok will just beat the shit out of Mr Anderson, because that will never get old."

We're getting the whole stench of TNA away from the show.
1. Rename Impact and TNA. If Spike agrees to give us one more chance, prepare it by renaming the show to Bellator Wrestling. 2. EVERYONE is fired. Not just the over 40s. EVERYONE, save for the people who've got maybe a year or less of TNA experience, is wiped away. TNA's booked pretty much everyone on the roster, bar super-recent signings like Melendez and Havok, into oblivion already, so you need to get rid of the Austin Aries's, or even the Samuel Shaws, alongside the Mr.Andersons. Give them a chance to make a name in GFW, WWE, ROH, NJPW, wherever, but make it clear this is truly an all-new, all-different TNA. 3. Sell it on "You're not getting TNA anymore. This is a whole new promotion, able to be molded to your viewpoints."

"Look, I know I'm supposed to discuss to you the merits as to keeping Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and its flagship program on your network, but I am actually here to encourage you guys to not give up the fight in getting it off the network. They had so many opportunities to prove themselves, and they've always disappointed. I am not celebrating the demise of a wrestling promotion, because America and Canada need healthy promotions to keep things interesting.
"That said, I would like to recommend something else... a Cops marathon every Thursday night."
