Watched another TNA PPV yesterday and it was ok. TNA, to me, seems to be just treading water. I think they need a game changer. Something drastic to happen. I personally think they need a mega icon to come in. Not just a Hogan or older wrestler. I mean someone like a rock or triple H. I know those two won't come but there has to be someone they can get to just make people start talking about TNA in the main stream. This Thread is for the Forum people to speak their mind on what they they would be a Game changer to take TNA to another level. I thought Jeff Hardy last year was potentially one, but it hasn't panned out like I think they thought it would.

If they do hire someone else, it need only be guys like WGTT who can go in the ring and help build the tag division up some more. TNA has plenty of star power in RVD, Angle, Jeff Hardy (who I would argue was more popular than Cena when he left WWE), its a matter of booking the shows properly, which, while slightly improved, isn't where it needs to be yet. |

The real game changer would be if they went on the road full time. They don't need to bring anyone else in. How many "game changers" can one company have?

The iMPACT zone crowd is just... ugh. Nothing against them, but they've grown to where they just see it as being routine. The problem is, going on the road is expensive, and not fiscally viable. If TNA can stay afloat and build up profits (as the company is supposedly profitable now, but with big accquisitions lately, we'll see), then hopefully in the near future they can tour regularly. Personally, I'd like to see at least MORE iMPACTs out on the road, even if its not each week. |

what they need is to drop higher paid lesser used stars and concentrate on current used tallent!! and then use the money from not paying nash to expand to arena's, NOT sign more higher paid stars  |

What TNA needs, is to fire EVERYONE on their creative staff and start over. And yes, I am serious. Every single time I've tuned in to their show, I'm literally rolling my eyes at how bad the creative side is. The guys can work. Well, most of them can... But they can't get over when they're recycling the same old storylines and trying to make new stables out of old stables or with complete cluster  s like the ECW thing. |

No they don't. TNA is doing better business than they ever have. Ratings are at an all time high. Two weeks ago their broadcast was int he top 5 of all cable at the time slot.
Stop trying to fix something that isn't broken.

I wouldn't say trying to fix something that isn't broke. Just trying to keep something from falling apart. TNA has the stigma that it has some older wrestlers and executives joining the company and rehashing old plots. This may or may not be true. But if they can bring in a fresh big time star it would just make the stars of AJ Styles, The Pope, Abyss, etc., that much brighter. Bring in a combination of Jericho and someone like the Miz and add them to AJ Styles and Kaz and the Pope and now you have some fresh story lines that can be made.

When it comes to TNA the only change I need is the remote to change the channel.  |

i haven't seen last night's ppv yet, however i think the product is on the rise. the key thing they need to do is character development, and that takes time.

All things considered, I think TNA is doing pretty well. I also agree that bringing in the WGTT would be a pretty good idea as they were excellent wrestlers.

They already do house shows so why not tape one here and there on the road to start then move to every week. |

When you bring in Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Kennedy, the Hardys, Mick Foley, Sting, Hogan, Flair, Booker T, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner and you company STILL can't make it happen... and it doesn't even make a dent...
It's about time to just pack up shop and shut the door. At this point, there's no one else they could possibly bring in that would make a difference at all. And the funny thing about all of that? If it was the other way around... any of those (as was proved at the Rumble with Booker T and Nash) could instantly be a big deal again in the 'E.
So, if it's not the wrestler's fault... then who is it?

They've had 2 of the biggest game changes they could possibly have given the time period. They got both Kurt Angle (which was an extremely well kept secret and a big deal) and Hulk Hogan, and still haven't really made progress outside of more business deals.
But business deals, action figures, horrible video games, and merchandise doesn't bring in more fans.
