Post by Ian from 616Entertainment. on Oct 30, 2013 1:29:26 GMT -5

logistics,

all of it, hypothetical game.

TNA is now yours.

What are the first 5 moves you make? Why are you making them?

Please go in depth. A simple "I'd hire Rhino" is lame. Tell us what you're doing and why, this could be a really interesting thread.

I started the conversation so I'll go first. Not all of them are major moves like hiring and firing, but these are my first five decisions.

1. Kill 'IMPACT WRESLTING' in favor of 'TNA Wrestling.'
It's gone. My company is TNA Wrestling. I hated it when Hogan and Bischoff coined the 'IMPACT' thing because it my mind, it only created confusion. The company is TNA... But they're calling it 'IMPACT Wrestling.' Okay... The World Championship has 'TNA Wrestling' engraved on it, but the website is IMPACTWreslting.com. Hm... Lastly, half of the roster is calling it 'TNA Wrestling' anyway. Where the

are they working? What the

are we watching? TNA Wrestling, god dammit. A new ad campaign goes into high gear the second I get the job.

2. Increase the awareness of TNA Wrestling with advertising.
The problem that TNA has, and has ALWAYS had is that they always depend on a wrestler to make them bigger. Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Christian, Sting, Hulk Hogan. These were all huge names for TNA and in what way or another they all benefitted the product, but they didn't benefit the TNA name. The company was looked at as the place Hardy went, or the place Hogan went. In the UFC, there isn't one single name that's bigger than the company. Tito Ortiz and Rampage Jackson can leave the UFC and fight with Bellator, no one cares. The PPV buys were projected so low and ticket sales were so terrible that Bellator, on the heels of the Tito/Jackson fight falling apart, have scrapped the PPV altogether in favor of airing it on television for free. How often do you talk to people who aren't wrestling fans that can tell you what TNA is? Probably never. When I take over, I'm going to do my god damndest to change that. I want everyone to know the name TNA. I want the people who still call it "WWF" to know what TNA is. When you walk into Walmart, there's going to be a TNA kiosk with DVDs, shirts, action figures, posters, video games, everything a mom can find and think 'Oh Jimmy will like this.' Oh, and by the way, a huge part of the ad campaign is based on the fact that PPV cost has been lowered to $24.99. I shove it down their throats. Our PPVs are better and they're cheaper. People hate spending money. If they spend less and find out they're getting more, they'll continue spending and tell their friends to start spending, too. This grows the PPV audience over time.

3. Change the color scheme.
I really am not a fan at all of the blue and black color scheme that came with the IMPACT rebranding. It looks incredibly cheap and the arena is very, very dark. In 2005 TNA, we had the black and red color scheme with what seemed like the lighting in your living room. It was fun to look at, sharp to the eye, and put out an atmosphere of something that we could get attached to. Red and black is not original by any means, but it's not currently being used by the top company, either. RAW is black and white for the most part now with it's white posts and white ropes. My TNA puts RED ropes and BLACK posts on it's six sided ring.

4. Did I say 'Six Sided Ring?'
Yes I did, god dammit. It's back.

(this video shows that it's not just match quality, but the attention paid and time spent that made the X Division so special. Who DIDN'T love this time period?)
5. Return the X Division to former glory.
The X Division is a ghost of what it used to be, and it's not the fault of the wrestlers in the division. It's TNA's fault. The X Division Championship used to be THE championship in TNA. AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin, Petey Williams, these guys made that division the place to be, the product to watch, and the belt to hold. In today's TNA, what do we have? A bunch of youngsters going after the belt, trading it to each other in EXCLUSIVELY triple threat matches. Why? Oh wait, what? The triple threat thing didn't work as was stupid all along? Okay, scratch that. See what I mean? The whole division has been spit on. The second a name player wins the X Division Title these days he GIVES IT AWAY for the POSSIBILITY of winning the TNA World Title. I'm all for having the young guys vying for the Title, they should be, but the veterans should be looking to win it as well to add to their legacy. Because they want it under their list of accomplishments. Because it's an important Title, god dammit.

Those are my moves.

Can't wait to hear what yours are.

I'd hire Rhino. Thats it.

No but seriously if I bought TNA I would do the following:

1. Pack up, and find a new home. Base out of a big wrestling crowd, like New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia. Hell, if the UK does the best business for TNA, go there and stay there. Make a home for yourself, like they did in the Impact zone but where your not an attraction for people in Universal. Make a name for yourself, and have people coming back.

2. Advertisement. You dont see TNA anywhere. You dont know what TNA is, outside of wrestling fans. Team up with a big name, with stores around the US. Maybe something sporty related, like a Dicks or something. Just somewhere people will see your advertisement physically. Get them interested in the product and your first big step is complete.

3. Yes, go back to 6 sides. It really did stand out and make TNA unique.

4. Your biggest stars, keep in the main event and promoted. Dont have your stars feuding with random people just to give them something. With Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, etc; keep them ALL in the world title picture. Make the world title seem more important by having these guys all in the scene.

5. Like said in OP, make X-Division a kick ass deal again. The great thing about these young guys is that they go out and want to get noticed, doing spectacular things. Like the world title, have multiple guys shooting for this title. I dont know what else to say on this, but just have it important again.

No. He's too lazy and unreliable. He will NEVER be trusted with the world title. If Jeff Hardy wins the world title, I'll cut my penis off. You can quote that!

1) I'd completely rebrand to "Impact Wrestling" - The World Champion would be the Impact Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, the X-Division Champion would be the Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion etc. I'd have zero mention of TNA at all, it's tacky and I've seen a lot of people new to the product that are confused by the TNA abbreviation before.

2) I'd release anybody with an egregiously large contract. Obviously I don't know details of what people are making but I think people like Sting & Kurt Angle are expendable at this point. They do nothing for ratings of attendance, I'd rather save the money and focus it on other avenues. I'd also probably make a lot of cuts of the roster and make sure I have enough talent to work TV/live events without having to cycle through dead weight.

3) Would stop trying to be the second biggest wrestling company in the world and rather focus on putting on a good product. I'd get rid of unnecessary things like the Hall of Fame. Take a back to basics approach. Putting on good wrestling every week.

4) I'd go into internet PPV. Offer a PPV at the end of each month for $10 to stream online via impactwrestling.com -- I'd also make everything digitally available through the website. Weekly TV, DVD's etc. Make sure everybody in the world can access the product.

5) I'd get rid of all on air authority figures. Dixie Carter doesn't need to be on TV, nobody cares about there being a general manager etc. I'd focus on wrestling, the wrestlers & basic storylines that can build to bigger things.

Pretty Sure we have this thread like every week now, but it is interesting to see what people think

1) Rebrand as TNA.
2) Bring back 6 sided ring.
3) Release all unnecessary talent.
4) Focus on X Division depth.
5) Focus on a great Knockout product unlike WWE.

Not going to go into five item list, just what I'd love to see. I'd part with some of the older and more expensive talent, as I honestly don't think they signifigantly increase the ratings, I think TNA's audience is pretty much set at this point, you might lose or gain a few new viewers, but I think it's pretty set to be honest. No sense wasting a ton of money on guys like Sting and Hogan. I'd keep Angle, but limit his appearances, maybe do something similar to what the HBK schedule was in his last couple of years back in the WWE. Angle is getting a bit stale, and it feels like every one of his matches are the same thing these days. If he is only around for more like 5-6 months of the year, I think he'd be more refreshed when he is there, and the appearances would be a little better, rather than so run of the mill.

Cut some of the dead weight mid card/lower card guys that aren't that good, and probably have run their course in TNA. A big example of this for me is Abyss/Joseph Park. He's just boring now. He's been around too long, there isn't anything good or interesting left to do with him or his character, and everything with him comes off so hammy and forced. Sometimes you gotta let a couple of the tenured guys go, and he's a prime example for me personally. To offset the losses, I'd try to get some new good independent talent again. I'd want a large refocus on the X-Division and Tag Team divisions, to the point there those two titles are just as important as the World Title, and I'd actually put a bit more focus on them in ways than the World Title, as that is the type of stuff they can do to give them a more distinct product than the WWE, and a good, real alternative. I'd consider doing the same with the Knockouts division, though I don't know if anyone cares anymore, it's died completely the last couple years from where it used to be, and I'm not sure how much interest it would garner getting to a more prominent role again. It would require a major talent shift, I don't think there is anything interesting left with the current women, and I think they've run their course. The Knockouts would be tricky.

NO MORE STABLES. At least for a while. It seems there is always some stable running havok in TNA, and there are always constant power shifts, turns, side switching, and it's just getting old. Also stop the ownership/management storylines, it's just getting to be too much, For at least the first 6 months to a year, I'd cut down on the majority of "storylines". Keep a couple of them going, but simplify them, make things easier for a new viewer to start latching on, where there isn't a million different things going on. Get more simple things that just involve challengers going after titles, effectively hitting the reset button on the company, just give some good solid wrestling with some simple storylines for a little while.

Try to get some On Demand type presence. Whether it's just Hulu or even something run from the TNA website. Maybe do some kind of monthly/yearly membership that gains access to the new episodes of impact, as well as all older ones from the TNA website, make it affordable. Hell, throw in access to all the old TNA PPVs to boot. They may offer something like this, I honestly haven't paid too much attention to that, but make it a focus. Imagine if, for example, for $50 you got a year subscription, which got you all the Impact episodes either the night they aired or the next day, plus the older impacts, and also gained you access to every older TNA ppv event, excluding the last year or something like that. This could encourage a lot of casual fans to take the risk, because for a relatively cheap price you'd be getting access to a lot of wrestling content. Even perhaps offer a discount on ordering new ppvs for members, and an excluvie discount at the online store. A lot could be done with this.

Also, I'd reduce the cost of PPV's. Signifigantly. Have a few big ones, such as Bound For Glory and Lockdown that are more expensive, but for the others, knock them to $20. Not a huge amount of people order them to begin with. And if you're trying to gain new fans, offering events at that price point could encourage impulse buys, especially if you start to get in the habit of putting on good quality shows. After a year, you can bump the price up 5 bucks, do it again the year after if you want to get back to that thirty buck price point. By then, it will have been made clear the product is worth that. Also, the cutting out of some older and more expensive talent could help with the lower price to offset the lower cost.

I know the ideas aren't exactly feasible, but in all honestly I don't really think the current direction is much better. Just my thoughts.

1- Have it branded Impact Wrestling. This involves the titles, Impact Wrestling Heavyweight champion, X-Division champion and Knockouts champion. Have a set home somewhere where all shows will be, apart from a few Impacts in the UK. Oh and bring back the six sided ring.

2- Complete roster clear out. This would need to be done gradually. Keep the main guys such as Storm, Roode, Sting, Angle, Aries, Joe etc but get rid of the deadwood at the bottom of the card and freshen things up by bringing in some indy talent as well as established wrestlers such as John Morrison (only name I could think of) that are still young and would add to TNA instead of them joining them to stay relevant.

3- Sort out the X-Divsion and Knockouts division.

4- Hire a brand new creative team.

5- Stop with all these massive stables. Every time I got to watch TNA it's in the middle of one of these stupid stable angles and I have no idea what is going on, get bored and stop watching.

One big thing I'd do is invest in a website re-design. It's been awful for years now. I have an easier time looking up Impact photos on Lee South's Facebook page than going through the horrible layout of TNA's site.

WWE.com always has new content driving people to check out the site - new videos, new photo galleries, new top ## lists, stories. TNA? Not so much.

6 Sided Ring

I know it gets mixed love on here, but in my TNA the more innovative the better.

New camera technology

I want a camera that takes 360 shots of all the action. I want the Canadian Destroyer to be seen from every angle. Slow motion replays would be amazing.

Hire young talent/bring back former talent

Like I said in another thread... As good as Style vs Daniels & Angle vs Joe is.. WE NEED SOMETHING NEW!! Sign guys from Mexico & Japan. Any one who can make my show faster and more appealing. I'd also bring Petey Williams & Jay Lethal back full time.

Push James Storm

Without being a blatant ripoff, he'd be my version of Stone Cold meets HBK. I still firmly believe TNA dropped the ball with him & Storm a few years back.

Make it seem like an underground movement

Stop trying to be WWE lite. And make my TNA something that not many have seen before. Make fans feel like they are involved with the next big thing in pop culture.

I know you said five, but dammit I'm the mod, so a few more things I'd do...

Get rid of Taz & Tenay. Hire Matt Striker. Commentary needs a younger feel to it.
More Tag teams. TNA used to have great Tag Teams but not lately.
Flashier logo. Colors would be blue/black/florescent green. Same goes for ring ropes.
Bring in managers. It's a lost art.
More character depth. And unique entrances.

Things like rebranding of TNA, 6 sided ring, X Division, Women's Division, etc are things we all agree on. But instead of just saying it and magically doing it, I would rather turn this into a story. I'm gonna steal from an old school territory angle. For classic wrestling fans, anyone remember the death of WCCW and the rebranding of USWA. They basically kept the same roster, ran the same building, just infused new talent with old talent and combined territories. So here is how I play it out.

All the internet rumors, leaks etc. have made the woes of Impact Wrestling either public or strongly embellished. Lets bring that to television. Lets abandon all story lines MINUS the AJ not having a contract and being the Impact Champion. Instead, Dixie comes out for a worked shoot. She is gonna come out, admit certain faults and issues, embellish others and make what is on the net now public for the mainstream Impact fan. I would not go into too much about financial issues and concentrate more on the idea of takeover. Because Jarrett owns a portion of Impact, I would start a rift between he and Dixie. Dixie thinks that JJ is the one that is trying to take over her company, NOT nWo style....board room style. Slowly leak little tidbits that might point to JJ as being the one that has the financial investors that are trying to take over Impact. Finally before the year is out, it is revealed that it wasnt JJ but it was Bischoff who is in charge of the investment group and in fact they have raised the capital, negotiated the price and have succesfully purchased TNA wrestling. Dixie is fired as CEO, JJ remains a minority owner that has VERY little power as he doesnt own a strong enough share.

January begins with Impact Wrestling in FULL force. Bischoff says priority 1 is to STRIP AJ Styles of the IW Title. A new championship is formed, a new champion crowned and we begin to sides being formed. Dixie is off the air and its JJ that is leading the rebel group. A lot of the current roster are gonna be Bischoff guys, while the rebels will remain small. Not too get into too many details over why, but Bischoff will have guys like Bully, Magnus, Samoa Joe, Abyss, Aries, Roode, Chavo, Garrett, Hernandez, Bradley, BROmans, Kenny King, Knux, Rob Terry, Taz, Brisco, Gail, Lei D Tapa AND an eventual swerve by Ethan Carter who will join Bischoff playing a role into the leaking of vital info to help the sale go through AND Kurt Angle who will be THE new Impact Champion. From there, I bring a few "Bischoff guys" back.

The rebels have to remain small and become rebels b/c either they are rejected by Bischoff or dont want to be a part of it. Sting will be the first. Bischoff will tell Sting he has a plan for him and wants him to be apart of the new Impact Wrestling. Sting will reject him, work shoot WCW and eventually walk out on Bischoff. X Division guys will be fired and the X Division completely disbanded. Sabin, Daniels, Kaz, Eric Young, Manik, etc. all fired. Jeff Hardy will also be fired. Bischoff work shoots it, brings up Jeff's checkered past and says they dont have room on the Impact roster for no druggie. All the while, JJ is plotting to form his rebel alliance. What we see on tv is the IW roster carrying on as normal, while the other guys are taken off tv and slowly begin reappearing as this rebel group. Start by having the X Division guys showing up and sitting in the crowd. Disturbances, attacks, etc building towards Lockdown. Lethal Lockdown will feature the traditional 5 on 5, with also having OTHER Lockdown matches featuring the rebels vs. Impact Wrestling. I would build something between Angle and either Hardy or Sting but leave it as mystery match. A challenge will be sent a mind games done that will drop hints, gifts, etc. to Angle. Things that either humiliate Angle, anger him, etc. Something that will goad him into wanting this match and then eventually accepting the challenge.

The end game comes at BFG. All the pieces have been revealed. AJ is a part of team TNA and believes he is the rightful World Champion. He and Angle will face off for a title unification match. And we also get the final Team TNA vs. Team Impact Wrestling. There will be swerves along the way. Someone from team TNA will end up turning towards Impact b/c they need to feed their family and sell out their team during the 10 month story run...Storm could be a good fit for this. Bischoff will lose people as well, perhaps an Austin Aries who turns by simply saying he never agreed to be apart of Team Impact. He simply did his job. So the teams wont be the same come BFG. We will see the rehiring of some familiar faces like Alex Shelley, Sharkboy, Petey Williams, etc. XDivision guys. In the end, after AJ defeats Angle, unifying the titles, the TNA team comes out and together they destroy all the IW banners, ring aprons, etc. They raise a TNA flag and TNA has been rebranded. The company was on the line and now JJ/Dixie have reclaimed TNA and IW is dead and no more.

Now you can start cleaning the roster up, get rid of Bischoff, rehire X Division guys along with bringing new blood in like Prince Devitt and Machine Gun Karl Anderson. The IW guys you want to keep will slowly be reintroduced. Dixie will want to hire guys like Angle, Magnus, Joe etc. b/c of their talent. It doesnt have to be rushed.

1. Restructure the creative team:

I would remove the current team members I felt brought nothing to the restructure. I would add several people to it, including Tommy Dreamer, 2 or 3 Wfigs members who have a good knowledge of professional wrestling, and Raven.

2. Restructure the Knockout Division.

I would sign an agreement with Shimmer and promote the up and coming independent women wrestlers. However I would immediately sign Cheerleader Melissa and make her the star of the division. While doing so I would take any advice from her about the creative direction of the Knockouts division.

3. Bring back The 6 Sided Ring.

4. Release several talents who are not and cannot be good for the current product.
Although in a unpopular decision I would try to remain in good standings with the mixed martial arts company.

5. Design a new Impact Zone and re-brand the entire product, including new logos, and new pay per view names.

6. Restructure the X-division by signing a deal with Ring Of Honor and other independent promotions.

7. Gain more advertisement at any cost. The more the name is out there the more people will be interested.

8. Increase the rating, I would go to a TV-14 and begin a more adult product considering TNA has never really been for children.

9. Sign a new toy deal with a bigger company, hopefully I could get Hasbro to do it.

I'll try to be a little detailed with what I would do. My apologizes if it's not too detailed:

1) Bring back six sides - The six sided ring made TNA unique as the first major American promotion to use it. I know the six sided ring is more of a lucha libre thing (even though I mostly see just AAA use it).

2) Get rid of any unneeded wrestlers (Sting, Bully Ray, Chavo Guerrero, etc.) I made a thread about a week ago about who to fire and release, so I won't go on too much detail on who to fire.

3) I would keep one veteran to help the young talent get over. I remember in the Rise and Fall of ECW where Paul Heyman used Terry Funk as his veteran to help get talent over, I would use Kurt Angle as that veteran because I feel Kurt Angle can really help get talent over with matches and promos, so he would be the one veteran in the main picture.

4) Help elevate the X-Division, Tag Team and Knockouts divisions. For the X-Division, I would bring people from the past like Petey, Sonjay, Lethal, etc. and hire new talent for the X-Division like Johnny Gargano, Jack Evans, etc. and build the division around them. Also, I would use the working relationship (if they still have it) with AAA and with Japan and bring international talent on a part time basis to help not only get their name out on national TV in America, but show that TNA has the best international wrestlers who want to work for them.
-I've been saying for a long time how TNA needs more tag teams when they only had Bad Influence, Chavo & Hernandez and Storm & Gunner. I would hire tag teams like the American Wolves, Generation Me, AeroForm, etc. and help build the tag team division with amazing matches and great story telling.
-For the Knockouts, I'd honestly slowly build this division by not only focusing the storylines on the five knockouts currently active, but I would also have Knockout tryout matches either on dark matches or on live TV. I would raid the SHINE and WSU rosters for women talent that are great wrestlers and also have sort of a sex appeal that I would advertise similar to what WWE does/did with the Divas back then (no Playboy lol)

5)Spend more money on advertising to help get the word. I would buy commercial time on many networks, like USA, like TNT, like FX, any network where there's a lot of people watching to build awareness to the company.

--
I already went into deep in-depth detail in my previous post "Re-Structuring TNA". But here's a brief summery of what I would do if I became the new owner of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling...

Negotiate a permanent spot back in Orlando and charge $10 for each seat at the IMPACT ZONE. 3 'dark' matches starting at 7pmET, 1 live show at 8pmET and 1 taped show 10:15 - 11:45pm. Dark matches to be featured on a 1hr YouTube recap show, until Spike TV opts to air an additional Sunday morning show (similar to USA's All American Wrestling from the 80s/90s).
I'd hold 1 monthly "GutCheck" at the IMPACT ZONE and the stand-outs would get signed to a developmental deal where they train at Universal there during the afternoons with Doug Williams, Al Snow, & Pat Kenny. From this, I would invest into a 'minor-league' upstart and call it "TNA N.U." - identical to WWE's NXT. Once that was in place, I'd focus on TNA N.U. during the "off" Thursdays from IMPACT and air TNA N.U. exclusively on the official YouTube channel.
4 Annual PPV's + 8 "IMPACT Specials" (similar to "Clash of the Champions").

Replace Mike Tenay (bring back the guy they were using last year). Replace Taz with DDP (can cross promote DDP Yoga and TNA Wrestling). Keep Christy, keep JB announcing the main event matches.

Hire Raven as the head writer, hire Jim Cornette as a consultant writer, and also place Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel in the writing staff as well.

2014 would be the final year I would keep Sting and Kurt Angle under contract, but keep them high on the priority storylines so they could put over guys like Daniels, Roode, Storm, Magnus, ect. Both Sting & Angle would engage in a retirement match (not together), but seperately of course - that would lead to a gracious send off. After that, I would give Sting the option of being a member of the booking committee, and I would offer Angle a spot as a trainer for TNA N.U.

Bully Ray I would keep around for a few more years, before I would offer him something similar to Sting.

The 2014 Hall of Fame candidate would be Jerry Lynn (centering around the X-Division).

Speaking of the X-Division, I would reinstate the Triple Threat format that brought new life back into the division last year. 3 men battle in a qualifying match, the winner goes on into the championship match, and a 2nd qualifying match is held (another Triple Threat) and that winner goes into the championship match - so the 2 winners & the X-Division champion face off for the title. The loser of the match goes back to the bottom of the ladder. I LOVED this concept and why they did away with it, was major faux paw!

The Knockouts division.... I would rehire Mickie James, as her release was unnecessary. And I would actually try and rehire back Taeler Hendrix (she wasn't even fully polished yet and she showed so much improvement and I felt she has a lot to offer yet). And of course, any GutCheck stand outs, from TNA N.U. If Madison Rayne felt ready to come back, I'd keep the door open for her and give her a Face run.

International talent would be brought in through the X-Division format (see above).

Start booking more matches with Rockstar Spud, Sam Shaw, and Jay Bradly. I've some ol friends of mine from my indy days I could call upon as back-up referees or if I wanted to hire them as FT refs. Plus the stand-outs from GutCheck & TNA N.U.

Established stars.... I'd let Jeff Hardy ween his schedule down progressively (like how HBK did this past decade with the E), as Hardy would be to TNA as HBK is to the E. The World title would get passed around in a pretty basic manner (long reign, transitional champion, long reign, transitional, ect). I'd turn Christopher Daniels face, have him "repent" as the Fallen Angel returns to see the error of his ways and go through Kaz, Roode, and even Styles to get to the World title. Guys like AJ, Roode, Storm, Aries, Daniels, Joe, and Magnus - would all be in the main event picture for the strap, going through 2016 - when the nature of the business takes it's course and I begin phasing them out of the picture and elevating the next crop of stars who'll take center stage, sorta speak.

The top 5 free agents I would aggressivly go after: 1) Chris Jericho, 2) John "Morris" Hennigan, 3) Harry Smith & Lance Hoyt (Hoytamania returns!), 4) Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas, and 5) Bobby Lashley ....... Jericho would get a World title run. JoMo would get an X-Division title run (maybe a World title run). Smith & Hoyt, World tag title run (eventual split, feud similar to Beer Money's, as Harry would get pushed towards the World title down the road). WGTT, Tag title push, maybe both could feud over the X-Division title in that scene. And I'd use Lashley as TNA's version of Brock, naturally. I'd bring back Matt Morgan as a fierce challenger to whoever was World champion, but build it up to if he doesn't win it, his TNA career is over, Forever! And then depending how the crowd responds to him, I'd either let him win the title finally... or if he's not favorited highly, just have him job out of the company by putting the reigning champ.

Speaking of MMA guys... if they're not serious about going through "the system", they're released. If they prove they're serious about becoming professional wrestlers, I'd love to keep them and maybe even push them as my personal favorite type of stars are the legit guys.

Advertising: Multi-channel commercials! Radio ads (both airwave & internet)!

The price of the 4 annual PPV's would be dropped down to $20 - in the hopes of garnering a higher buyrate (in which the company will become more profitable in the long run).

With the name of IMPACT Wrestling, it would be pretty cool to see a brand split (IMPACT WRestling vs. TNA Wrestling) .... but not at this stage of the game. Though it wouldn't be impossible.

I'd use the Six-sided ring for a special "Throwback Thursday" edition of IMPACT. Depending how the response went, if it was highly favored to bring back the ring, I'd use it for all future PPV events! White ropes for BFG, Blue ropes for Destination X, Red ropes for Lockdown, and Black ropes for Slammiversary. For the IMPACT ZONE, I'd actually change the ropes to yellow and go with the whole "Caution tape" scheme for TNA IMPACT Wrestling episodes.

PPVs would take place in venues that weren't as large as arenas (like Civic Centers and casino event centers, maybe even State Fairs for Slammiversary during the summer time for an outdoor event). The Hammerstein Ballroom would hold Destination X every year!

ShopTNA would rehire DON WEST back on a PT basis - this guy could sell a ketchup popsicle to a lady in white gloves!! Nothing against Jimmy J, but Don was and will forever be the best pitchman in wrestling!!

Once enough funds were accumulated, I would consider opting to do house shows again, across the country. Start off with maybe 2-3 a month and gradually work our way to building that up to 15.

And finally, I would also allow my Champions to defend their titles, outside of the company. This brings legitimacy to the belts, it broadens the champions who represent the company, and if a title change took place outside of TNA - I'd acknowledge it and set up a rematch on IMPACT LIVE (so one of my stars could win it back). This also means I would extend the olive branch over to WWE with the hopes they would want to do business and cross promote. If they refused, TNA's champions could claim they're better. If they accepted, dream matches could be put together. Once the agreement was over, could work another Montreal screw job type of split to really work the fans over.

It's a nice fantasy and I'd make sure all my basis were covered, but I'd push for TNA Wrestling to become a huge success if I were the new owner.

Excellent Topic!!

Okay, number 1, I would bring in Hulk Hogan. Make a big deal out of it and set the world on fire with it.

Number 2, I would have Hogan debut on a special episode of Impact on MONDAY NIGHT!! And that's not all...

Number 3, bring in Eric, Bischoff, Scott Hall, X-Pac, Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Nasty Boys, Val Venis, and Orlando Jordan, that will put some butts in the seats

Number 4, have Hogan go heel a year later, by having Jeff Hardy go heel and align with Eric Bischoff, Abyss and Jeff Jarrett, or as I would call it NWO Version 2.0

Number 5, let go Alex Shelley, Jay Lethal, Generation Me, Rhino, Stevie Richards, Sonjay Dutt and the rest of the talented wrestlers that the fans enjoy, hire a bunch of new TNA X-Division guys like Christian York, and Joey Ryan, fire them as well, and keep paying all that sweet money to Hulk Hogan, who won't plug TNA in any shape or form during publicity stunts.

And THAT is how I would re-build TNA, I can't see it failing at all.... oh wait... it did.

#1 PPV/TV schedule and the arena

I'd firstly change the set up, need a new stage and get rid of the ring ramp, only use it once or twice a year for a PPV to make it feel unique. For now I'd go back to Florida but try and get in a more diverse crowd instead of the same one they use to have every week. I'd do a 6 month on and off road trip, the night after BFG I'd go to Orlando for 6 months then on then a tour of the UK for a month of TV tapings and 5 months touring before BFG PPV.

Have the PPVs like:

Jan: Hardcore Justice Impact Zone PPV (Kicks the year off with a home soil PPV and a big one for the IZ. Wasn't sure where else to put this one as after BFG is too similar to WM and ExR and around the middle of the year is too close to a similar PPV in Lockdown so a yearly kickoff of Hardcore mayhem seems good)

Feb: UK PPV Road PPV (Can call it something like Genesis, there awesome fans for TNA so deserve a PPV, have it before UK TV tapings so theres no leaked spoilers or delayed build up)

March: New PPV Impact Zone (Rest of TNA PPVs dont sounds great so I'd make a new one, something fresh and exciting to change it up a bit)

April: Lockdown Road PPV

May: No PPV N/A (Give a nice long buildup from Lockdown to the next big PPV, Slammiversary is the reverse BFG to me and should be treated with a unique build up, 2 months of TV time and if built up right fans could be gagging for the PPV and one month of saved money could get more buys)

June: Slammiversary Road PPV

July: No Surrender Road PPV (Needs to be the reverse of SV, SV is almost a happy celebration event of TNA and No Surrender needs to be a dark and gritty PPV that shows the other side of wrestling, done two road PPVs in a row as this one needs to have a unique arena as well to get the right atmosphere for it)

Aug: World Tour PPV Road PPV (A PPV in a foreign country, Japan, Germany, Canadia, anywhere other than the US or UK to promote TNA to new areas. Just a one off PPV that showcases TNA to somewhere new that could bring in new fans and also create a really unique atmosphere for a once a year PPV)

Sept: Victory Road Impact Zone PPV (This needs to have big effort making it look unique with USA theme throughout the arena, build it as Road to BFG and the road home to the Impact Zone for 6 months of tapings)

Oct: Bound For Glory Road PPV

Nov: Feast or Fired Impact Zone PPV (Would call it something else, Sacrifice most likely or Against All Odds. A nice way to shake things up after BFG with the Feast or Fired match, still time to settle unfinished title scores from BFG and can start new ones as well. Its also not a big PPV that will overshadow BFG)

Dec: Destination X Road PPV

The PPV list needs proper structure, if you asked me to name the WWE PPV calendar, 90% of the time I could and I could probably do it for most years too, for TNA, I couldn't tell you many if any at all. There needs to be more link for the PPVS to the months. Lockdown, SV and BFG will stay as they where always there and fans will be used to that, although October seems a dodgy month to me for the companies biggest PPV.
Destination X sounds like a end of year PPV so it fits in with December, Victory Road as said is a bit of a rip off of the Road to WrestleMania but it works for me, UK PPV should become synonymous with Feb as its around the time of TV tapings there anyway and its unique enough to stand out.
I'd also make more of an effort to find unique looking arenas, have a PPV every year in the WWE/ECW One Night Stand place as it has such a unique look, awesome wrestling fans that will sell it out and it fits a decent amount in too. It will also help in remembering the PPV, fans will remember say August is ECW arena PPV and just the atmosphere and fans usually makes it a good one.
If theres an effort made to make the arena look unique, like an all out USA theme for one PPV (VR), then it really adds to the event and helps fans remember that specific PPV and when it happens. Like Royal Rumble, I know so many people who dont watch wresting but every year they know Jan is Rumble time and Rumble is a fun match to watch for anyone.
Just realised I only did 3 PPVs for Impact Zone, I was trying to do 6 there and 6 away but the structure went a bit off aha. I like it though, they get 6 months of TV tapings so only 4 PPVs is still great for them and it also allows more room to expand and get TNA name out there. In fact, now I look at it, 6 PPVs and 6 months of TV seems greedy for Orlando.

Small thing but changing the rope colour and ring aprons for a PPV helps massively to set it apart. At the moment every PPV looks like Impact from the stage to the ring to the arena and it just doesnt look right, everything flows together but in a bad way.

I'm also 50/50 on the 6 Sided ring, I think its a really unique selling point that helped TNA a lot but I still prefer the classic 4 sides. I was tempted to go with Impact Zone = 6 side and Road tour = 4 sides but I think that would be too strange to constantly change it.
For now I'm going to agree with the majority, return to 6 sides because its synonymous with TNA now and it was good.

#2 Talent & Storylines

Its not just about having a great roster or having a great storyline, you need both. So Chavo is in an amazing storyline, I dont care because Chavo is boring to me. So AJ Styles is on tonight, I dont care because he isn't in a storyline. That needs to change.
First off, speaking of Chavo, the fans dont much like him and I'd use that. I'd basically rip off what Bo Dallas is doing in NXT and have Chavo be a suck up to the fans in an annoying way (Boo-Urns anyone?). Have him believe the fans love him but act in a bad guy way and always reason that he cheats to win and such so the fans are happy, but really its for himself.

The AJ storyline could be great and really set the way for TNA now. I'd have the selling of TNA become part of the story, Dixie doesn't want AJ in TNA because he doesn't have a contract but Jeff Jarrett has been behind the scenes for years now and resurfaces to tell Dixie that finally after loads of hardwork and low-ki (

) deals he is now a 50/50 owner of TNA. Eventually through small plot points he takes control of 50% of TNA so the second hour of Impact is his to do what he wants with it as well as half of every PPV. He back AJ and doesn't sign him back yet but lets him wrestle to the annoyance of Dixie on his side of the show against wrestlers Dixie didn't want. A great way to bring back people like Alex Shelley and blame their leaving on Dixie. Dixie would create a new World Title for the people who are actually in TNA and try to dictate it so EC3 wins it or something. I'd build the AJ wrestling other non contracted wrestlers of Jarretts choosing to lead to a PPV match with a one time offer of a match for Chris Jericho (one match he would surely do). Have it be leaked and a worst kept secret type deal so the "mystery opponent" for the PPV is known as you need Jerichos name for better buy rates. Eventually Dixie will get annoyed with this and a match will be agreed upon at the next big PPV, like Slammiversary. The main event will be built up massively from many angles occurring, I want the result of this to be so up in the air that you couldn't predict it at all. A huge 6-man, No DQ match, the Champ AJ Styles vs. The "real Champ" EC3 vs. Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett vs. Bobby Roode vs. Kurt Angle
and this match everyone will have a stipulation that could mean a guaranteed win. This is like the Unforgiven match, Goldberg/HHH (Goldberg lost, hes fired) so we all basically knew who was winning before hand, I'd use this in a reverse way. AJ wins, he gets to be ultimate champ and gets his dream contract that Dixie wont allow, Jarrett wins, control of TNA, EC3 wins and Dixie gets TNA, Sting gets pinned and he retires, Roode has no stip (a spanner in the works) and Angle wins he gets his HOF induction that was taken away by Dixie. Of course winner also becomes Ultimate TNA Champions. Jarrett wins with guitar smash to AJ, new heel Jarrett returns to the top of the mountain.
While this is happening have Chris Daniels become a face, build him up as a huge underdog to the main event which will eventually lead to an emotional and unexpected win of the TNA championship half a year or so after the big 6man match for the first time.

Having skipped through Survivor Series 09, WWE had such a wealth of young talent waiting to burst on the scene, TNA used to be like this. In one mtach they had newly single John Morrison and Miz in tights (much more professional and colourful), newly debuted Sheamus and a McMahon backed Drew McIntrye, Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. Thats just one match and both U.S. and IC titles where held by people in that match. Thats what TNA needs to build with their X-Division and undercard. Bring in guys like John Morrison, Shelley, Paul London, bring Pope back and try and tempt a few under achievers like Drew away from WWE, the right offer and you've got a great new star then.

My ideal Roster:
Current:
AJ Styles
Abyss (hes a monster that works well, Park has run its course)
Austin Aries
Bobby Roode (hes a loner now, no more groups and cement him as a main eventer)
Bully Ray
Chavo (Dont like him but story (see above) I think could be great)
Chris Sabin (love him as he is)
Christopher Daniels
Eric Young
EC3
James Storm (no more tag teams, same as Roode)
Jay Bradley (I like him, he has a good look and his ring work is solid, needs to be pushed a certain way and could be one of TNAs home made wrestlers)
Jeff Hardy
Jeff Jarrett (light in ring schedule, one last World Title run)
Kazarian
Kenny King (needs to be in a tag team, his ring work screams it to me and with someone they could really show their talent off well)
Knux (tempted to get rid but he works well in the ring, get rid of his A&8s gimmick and put him as a big monster of a man)
Kurt Angle (lighter schedule)
Magnus (needs a change, he seems to forced at the moment and I think he would be a lot better as a bad guy, maybe the leader or a 3 man group)
Manik (I like him, good for merchandise too, get him more variants in colour for his costume)
Mr. Anderson (stick with him for once, he works well as a bad guy thats loved by fans, dont turn him face cos he gets cheered)
Robbie E & Jessie (good tag team, they aint doing too bad and I'd continue with what there doing, not a joke tag team)
Sam Shaw (same as Bradley, could make a team with Bradley as the Gutcheck crew and claim it and TNA held them back so their making their own mark)
Samoa Joe (go back to old music and old ways, Joe needs to be that undefeated bad ass that kills everyone)
Sting (I'd give him one last contract, have a farewell tour and then just ring him up for the occasional match once a year or so)
Wes Brisco (Haven't seen too much of him really so I'll give him a chance to see what he can do)
Rob Terry (50/50 on this one so would give him one chance to prove his worth in Magnus' stable)

New Signings:
Alex Shelley
Charlie Haas (mainly to team with Benjamin)
Drew McIntyre (This one would be hard to get)
Jay Lethal
John Morrison
Lance Storm (for small schedules here and there and creative team)
Low-Ki (he was awesome, needs to be in a big promotion)
Matt Striker (for commentary)
Michael Bennett and Maria (while honestly not seeing them at all, I've heard good things and I think this could work in TNA)
Paul London
The Pope
Petey Williams
Raven (same as Lance)
Rhett Titus (he has impressed me with what I've seen and could even be a poach from WWE)
Shelton Benjamin
Sonjay Dutt

I'd also hire Cornette for the writting team, I feel I would contribute well to it too so with the few I have bought in I think it would make a massive improvement.

Tag Teams:
Bro Mans
Magnus Stable (Magnus, Rob Terry & Wes Brisco - Terry and Brisco will be the tag team with Magnus as the single star, this will also be a shine or get released for Rob and Wes)
Gutcheck Crew (Jay Bradley & Sam Shaw, could even add other gutcheck people to it)
WGTT (Benjamin & Hass, this would be an on again off again team as Benjamin needs be be in singles competition to shine as well)
Bad Influence (CD and Kaz, until CD goes face for his world title win build up)
Kenny King & Jay Lethal (I think they'd make a great heel team with trips into the X-Division)
*More would be made, I just cant put anyone else together at the moment*

Get Rid:
Garrett (he can be used for a while but ultimately he is useless in the long run)
Gunner (same as Garrett, I like him but he has no big potential)
Hernandez (they missed boat with him and he lost so much steam, he has hit the ceiling and I think its time to get rid and bring in fresh faces)
Rockstar Spud (hes done nothing and he didnt look that good anyway)

#3 Knockouts

I liked this idea someone had earlier so I'm going to steal it. Connection with Shimmer.
I'm not a big womens wrestling fan but TNA seemed to have a market for it and Shimmer seems to be the go to place for womens wrestling. A link between the two could be great, Shimmer gets exposure and TNA get more divas, could even do a cross promotion (in a small venue or IZ) womens PPV.

#4 Advertising

Its a massive factor and needs to be sorted, if we have a TV show or PPV or even a house show in somewhere like Delaware then I want Delaware to be plaster with TNA hype poster and signs and TV, Radio, newspaper adverts for TNA.
If TNA is coming to your town then I want everyone and his dog to know about it. But also make it short and sweet, dont make a long winded add that could become annoying and boring to potential customers.

#5

Big E Langston?

Structure

Seriously though, I sort of covered everything I would do really so this one is more an expansion but I would change the TV format style. There are too many promos (in the UK) for TNA coming to the UK. The WWE do one once a show with a 15 second thing of WWE coming to the UK on these dates and this one is live TV! where as TNA have a whole segment about why their great and why UK loves them and all this bollocks that they play 3 or 4 times a show and its terrible. Less promos too, more depth into promos and matches need to mean something. The TV title will have a trial and it needs a good showing it its to stay as I'm not a big fan at the moment.

Music as well, too many themes sounds the same and half of them arent that great. WWE, when the music hits i know who it is "we're a 3 man band!!!"... "*Glass shatter*"... "If ya smell"... Its all unique and TNA dont have that. Get someone to really work on themes and not Dixies husband who has one guitar sound and sings the same every time. This week on impact, Bully vs. AJ, it sounded like two songs from the same album and its not good at all. Music is so key to wrestling and TNA seem to have no clue with it.

Thats as much as I can be bothered to do now aha, I may add to it or I probably wont but thats my rough idea for my TNA.
