I would cut:
Guys who'd be told to retire and help in a non-wrestling role or they'd be released:
TNA would go from being maybe a half hour of wrestling a show, to 75%+ wrestling. Even if it's just squash matches to fill time, stuff to get the stars over. The phrase "send it to the back" would be banned. If Tenay said it once, he'd get a $1000 fine. On the second offense, he'd be fired. Backstage bullcrap would be kept off the show, period. Interviews would never go over 30 seconds unless absolutely needed. This is the way to compete with Vince. Make a WRESTLING show, not a sports entertainment show. Need to do an interview? Put them in a small box in a corner during a match. People I would hire:
- Scott Steiner (hasn't been worthwhile since 1998)
- Booker T (he WAS a great talent. now he just does annoying accents and makes himself look like a fool)
- Sharmell (has NEVER been worth while, in WCW, WWE, or TNA.. Not worth a plane ticket, much less pay)
- Bobby Lashley (why was he hired?)
- Don West (replace him with Taz, a color man who actually knows what the hell he's talking about and doesn't scream like an idiot)
- Suicide (though Kaz stays, and goes back to being Kaz)
- Sheik Abdul (terrible..)
- Shark Boy (why does he still have a job? when was he relevant last?)
- Amazing Red (it's not 2003 any more and Amazing Red doesn't deserve a roster spot)
- Kip James (see Scott Steiner)
- Rhaka Khan (big ugly nasty girl who can't wrestle. seriously, why keep her?)
- Lauren (she ruins any backstage segment she's involved in. Is she a diva search reject?)

- The Necro Butcher (guy has star written all over him. A modern day Bruiser Brody, and the feds are just too stupid to realize it)
- Egotistico Fantastico (WWE had him, and got rid of him. No good reason, either. Either as Egotistico or if they thought a tall white guy Mexican wasn't marketable to the masses, Robert "Ego" Anthony)
- Claudio Castagnoli (see Ego. This guy SHOULD be a major star, and it's baffling why he isn't)
Jimmy Jacobs (where else are you going to find a 24 year old 10 year vet? The guy knows the buisness inside and out and belongs in a major role. WWE hasn't even looked twice at him because of his size) - MsChif (The girl looks like a star. She's one of the few girls who actually has a look and a gimmick unlike anything else, and is a DAMN FINE worker)
- Delirious (Delirious would be hired with the understanding he owns full rights to EVERYTHING involved in his charecter. This is why Delirious hasn't been hired, because TNA wanted the rights)
- Nick & Matt Jackson (Hardy Boys circa 1997 much? dude's have unlimited potiential)
- KUDO (The future of Japanese wrestling, and he ISN'T under any Japanese contracts)
- Joey Eastman (The best male manager I've seen in years. Put him with anyone and you've got money)
