Think I got everything covered, but let me know if you think of something else TNA needs most right now.

another former wwe guy who isn't past his prime. i think they will be getting plenty of them soon enough (rvd, steven richards, shelton benjamin). they simply need the name recognition for now, while exposing all the new fans to their "homegrown" talent. they will be huge by the end of 2007. i am making that prediction now. they will be beating wwe by january 2008.

No way is Big Stevie Cool going to TNA, he has a WWE job for life, no one in their right mind would pass up that kind of job security. RVD? Totally. Shelton? Ehhh, depends when his contract runs out, and even then I doubt it. Sabu is definitely going back to TNA for at least one more match, though.

man, i can see what you're saying about stevie, but i think they have just pissed on him too much. i think shelton is just waiting for his contract to expire so he can get into the x-division. he could be the next christopher daniels......except black......

2 Hours. Right now, they can't fit all their storylines into each show, and the amount of wrestling is painfully slim. 2 hours, or even an hour and a half, would do wonders. Their roster's growing fast, and they need more time to get these guys on TV.

The extra hour for iMPACT! could really widen a lot of naysaying eyes. Longer/less rushed matches, better off storyline progression, etc.
Also, the dropping of the 6-sided ring would be a decent concept. The yokels I speak with about any type of wrestling, and when TNA comes up, the main complaint is the 6-Sided ring. Sure, not everyone feels that way, and good for them, but the 6-Sided ring is fine for Lucha and certain X-Division matches, but just looks silly a lot of the time.

2 hours. But I would have also picked, Tapings outside Orlando and Live Impact once a month.

2 hour Impact. From there they need to do monthly live episodes, then get some talented and still youthful WWE guys (RVD, Shelton, Haas etc.), and finally go to Monday night airings. By then they should be big and established neough. I'd keep the 6 sided ring for now, as it sets them apart, but in the long run I'd suggest dropping it and using it only for certain gimmick matches. It was originally called the Dragon Ring, I believe, so call 6 sided matches 'Dragon Ring Matches'.

2 hour iMPACT. I think the two hour show back in November showed that if they are given the time they can put on kick ass matches (Christian v Rhino in a cage; X-Title 3 way), and advance storylines without trying to do it all in a 4 minute span. I also think if they managed the one hour they have now better they would be better off as well.

Two hours to properly pace everything on their show out. That's the only problem I have with TNA is that a lot of the shows seem rushed.

Just to be different, I voted "More PPV's outside of Orlando."
Actually, in all seriousness, I believe this IS important. The Impact Zone doesn't do a good job of lending a "serious air" to an important, main event match; they usually just come off as a group watching a pit-fight, which is fine for some matches, but not most big title matches.
Maybe, in other places, the fans would be more of the mind to allow the big matches to unfold at their own pace, so to speak.
Also, once they get two hours, an official midcard title would be nice. Roster's too big not to have one.

I'd say really they just need more mainstream attention and they should be set. Personnel wise they really don't need much of anyone else.
