My ‘Plan’ to save TNA


ImpactWrestling101

Recommended Posts

So TNA is kind of going down, well I will take a few in-Depth Points

1) DON’T fire Russo, Ric, Hogan or Eric

Hulk is like in a ‘Legends Contract’ with TNA, his going around Promoting TNA. I’ve watched TNA for years. Yeah 6-Sides was great, WAS. Now TNA is near WWE. Ric and Gunner’s storyline with Commissioner Sting, RVD and Garret Bischoff is fantastic. Eric is the ‘Leader’ of the Rarely mentioned Immortal. We have Eric(Leader), Ric Flair(Manager),Scott Steiner, Bully Ray(Who’s moving on to a team with Bobby Roode) and Gunner also Jeff and Karen( ‘Fired’) and Kurt Angle(I consider him an Ally), Vince said that most of these thing in TNA are not his idea.

2) Build the Television Title and bring in a new title

Who the hell is the TV champion? Robbie E? well the TV title does not mean anything this is how I would place titles:

1. World Title

2. TV Title

3. New Title(TNA Mixed Tag, I hope)

4. X-Division Titles

5. Tag Titles

6. Both KO titles

With Mixed Tag we will have:

Toxxin/ Moore

ODB/Young

Kaz/ Traci

And other Pairing

The rest will be Tomorrow

1) Hogan hardly ever mentions/promotes TNA in the media, He doesn't affect the ratings that much or at all, he shouldn't be wrestling anymore and he hurts moral backstage. He does nothing to justify having a huge contract. I would let his contract run out unless it costs less to fire him. Flair is the same as Hogan. Eric brings nothing to the table either except thinking giant stables that have no direction are a good idea :spas: . I let this Garret Bischoff(who is not ready for any kind of push never mind this super push) storyline play out and lead up to a match between Eric and Garrett where Garrett retires Eric(but in actuality i have fired Eric or his contract has ran out). Russo is fine now that he has a filter in Prichard :nod: .

 

2) Now that the X-Division title is essentially a crusierweight title(which I :censored: hate) the TV title should be built up and made into a title to build/prepare wrestlers who TNA want to one day make world champions e.g. Crimson, Gunner etc. or for wrestlers who are too old to represent the company and can help build/establish the future world champions e.g. Christopher Daniels, Bully Ray etc.

 

TNA doesn't need more titles, mixed tag matches are a abmonation and having a title for those kind of matches would awful. Speaking of titles the Knockout Tag-Team title should be retired/stopped as the title is pointless and just stupid. :annoy:

 

My Plan

The stuff I said I would do up there ^ keep AJ, Storm and Bobby in the Main Event scene. Kill off Immortal for good. Build Samoa Joe back up to the Main Event scene as the cocky Samoa Joe as there is too many serious guys in TNA right now. Try to hire hire Kevin Steen, Kaval and Lethal. Rebuild the Tag-Team division put together a couple of people and make them into permanent Tag-Teams(which mean they will be tagging together for at least three years) and try to hire Paul London(to make Londricks with Kendrick) American Wolves and Gen Me. Use Abyss in a veterans role like Kane without the mask. Move RVD and Hardy into the X-Division to give it more star power eventually have someone remove the weight limit on the X-Division title.(but it will still be essentially a crusierweight title I just don't want wrestlers stuck in the X-Divison because of their weight)Fire Steiner and Shannon Moore, make Devon a backstage guy like a road agent or something and Send Garrett Bishoff to OVW. :D

I was going to wait but

Paul Heyman? He ran ECW to the ground and all the way to hell, Brother( :spas: )

 

True, but he's also responsible for some of the greatest storylines of all time. I thought Smackdown was outstanding when he was the head writer. He played a major role in the attitude era and it could be argued that WWF wouldn't have been able to survive without his ideas. I think Stone Cold Steve Austin is the main reason WWF was able to stay afloat and win the Monday Night Wars, but even he was influenced by Heyman quite a bit.

 

As long as Heyman isn't in charge of the finances, and in TNA's case he wouldn't be, everything would be great.

Your solutions don't save TNA, they save "Impact Wrestling", which is the mutant spawn of TNA through Hogan and Bischoff's involvement. Want to save TNA? Get rid of the stooges, go back to being an alternative to the WWE rather than a WCW ripoff.

I want many things, but the one i want the most is Paul Heyman.

Paul Heyman is a great thinker. Some says he is overrated, but he really is a great force behind the scenes and on screen.

 

The ideas he had was a precursor to the Attitude era, that whether we like to believe it or not, Vince had some of Paul's ideas used in his own promotion. The use of grunge music, realistic and edgy storylines, the reach to the early internet, has made ECW a great promotion. When people think of ECW, they remember or assume "extreme" but it really isn't. The first assumption by WWF and WCW fans was that ECW was a crappy third rate wrestling show, full of hardcore matches and brawls. Those really extreme moments are only reserved for big events. I remember watching ECW every other week back then and I was overwhelmed by the match technicality they have (mostly Whipwreck, Tajiri, Corino, sometimes Sandman).

 

I think, that's where Heyman is really effective, proving that his promotion, besides being labeled 'extreme' is more than capable of rising to the levels of WWF and WCW if not only he was (allegedly) a big time spender.

Remove Dixie Carter from having any input on the company whatsoever & then hire Paul Heyman.

It's not that he ran ECW into the ground, it's that Heyman ran out of financing for the company after Vince McMahon pulled his money from financing ECW. ECW would probably still be around, if Heyman would have had deep pockets, but he didn't...that & how ECW lost their TV contract & in the wrestling business, once you lose your TV contract your pretty much done for as a company.

Why do people act as though Paul Heyman can be a savior for TNA? A lot of what he had in mind honestly sounded pretty bad, and it's obvious that he's no longer interested in pro wrestling if most of what he wanted different was all similar to MMA, and it had to take millions of dollars just to see if he was willing to get on board. To think many of you wanted him running things? TNA can do just fine with who and what they have, it's just a matter of how.

 

(I went off on a bit of a rant here, so there's no actual spoilers)

 

Here's a little something for those wanna-be wrestling promoters on this site too; Dixie Carter is not the problem. The facts are despite how terrible of a company president she is, she's managed to keep a wrestling company going on ten years with "experts" saying that it'll go out of business every single year. Despite the huge decline in profit of the Pro Wrestling business (in which you can thank WWE for), TNA have been going on for a decade, and still continue to grow. Impact is shown weekly in multiple Countries all around the world, and which it beats both SmackDown and RAW shows in ratings every single week in the UK... and who is at the helm of all this success? Oh right, "Ditzy" Carter. :rolleyes:

 

TNA don't need "saving", but most everybody on here will say otherwise, just 'cause. And isn't it funny that whenever TNA are apparently in need of it, it's during that one time of the year that the WWE did something the fans really like? It's that time of year where the wrestling fans latch onto WWE's nutsack and proclaim that TNA is dying. It happens every year, so you could imagine how little I care about the dickriding most of the people on this site are giving WWE at the moment.

 

 

My plan would involve the following:

 

-
Move out of the IMPACT Zone! I'm not saying go on the road weekly, but at the very least, re-locate to a different area. Perhaps move back to Knoxville, where you can actually draw a real crowd, and one of which that's much larger and livelier than what they currently have in Orlando.

-
Get Xplosion on Spike, and do a complete overhaul on the format of it. With the many wrestlers they have and will acquire in the future, TNA definitely need to invest in using Xplosion as their B Show. Personally, I think they'd benefit more with it being an hour long and on a Saturday. The format could be follow something along the lines of

 
Format #1:

 

Show intro. Match #1. Commercial break. Recap of this week's Impact. Promo. Commercial break. Match #2. Commercial break. Promo. Preview for next week's Impact. Final commercial break. Main event.

 

Format #2:

 

Show intro. Promo. Commercial break. Match #1. Recap of this week's Impact. Commercial break. Match #2. Mid-match commercial break. Remainder of Match #2. Match #3. Commecial break. Preview for next week's Impact. Main event. Final (mid-match) commercial break. Remainder of main event.

 

Pre-PPV Format:

Show intro. Recap of this week's Impact. Match #1. Commercial break. PPV match promo. Intro to match #2. Commercial break. Match #2. Rundown of PPV card. Commercial break. PPV match promo. Main Event. Final (mid-match) commercial break. Remainder of main event. Final rundown of PPV card.

Simple show formats like that, and you can have more than enough time for wrestlers who aren't shown on Impact, need a little more face time, and/or are a new face in TNA, but not high-caliber enough to debut on Impact or PPV. You could have X-Division and Knockouts matches be showcased, with the talent that aren't shown on Impact as much (i.e. Tony Nese, Douglas Williams, Mark Haskins, Sarita, Rosita, and Winter). Guys like Gunner, Crimson, and any future talents who are in between the levels of being sent to developmental and being on Impact could be used on here to continue toning their abilities. Realistically, THIS is the most important move for TNA, in my opinion. Plus, it's another night of wrestling, so what's to complain about?

-
This is a personal interest of mine, but I'd really like a production overhaul as well. I'd like to see the stage/arena, lighting, and camera work look/feel more like an NJPW event. Either way I still think they need a new production crew.

-
Bigger ring, self-explanatory.

 

I'm blanking out right now, so I'll just leave it at that for now.

Get rid of HER [Hogan, Eric, Russo]

Make a 2nd TNA Show like Smackdown, not like explosion

Bring in Heyman

Make the TV Title a major thing on the 2nd TNA show

Have a type of wwe style DRAFT and move n switch wrestlers to the other show

Have Heyman be GM of the 2nd show while Sting on the 1st show

So basically you want them to copy WWE's brand split? The split is retarded, WWE shouldn't even be doing it.
