Hi
Just like to get some feedback on what people think could help TNA as I think it has become a little stagnant and needs a push in another direcetion. Here's my 2 ideas:
1. Move to a bigger arena or arenas, I just think they can't go on forever using the Soundstage and need to take a leap of faith and move to somewhere bigger. Whether they stay in or around Orlando or start to move gradually around the US, they have to start somewhere.
2. Install Paul Heyman as head booker. I know some people will love this idea, some will hate it. I just think for TNA to take the next step to become a bigger wrestling organisation, they need someone with Heyman's ability to make new superstars and create new personalities for current TNA stars that may have lost their way. Whether Heyman wants the job or not may be the sticking point but if he did show interest, I think TNA should offer him the job. If it wasn't for Heyman's poor business acumen I believe the original ECW would still be around today.

I agree with the Heyman deal as long as they keep him away from any money pertaining to the show.
But why go to a bigger arena if not all the tickets will be sold? Why waste the money on renting it if only 300-500 people go...if that?

I hear contradicting reports with tickets, sometimes I hear they give them away, other times I hear that they turn paying fans away cos of limited space. I just feel it will feel more like big time wrestling in an arena rather than the small space they are in now.

Foolkiller99 is spot on with his views and I agree with him, heres his views (with edits) with a few of mine;
1. There has to be at least 1 x-division match on impact a week. The X-Division is what makes TNA unique so this should be promoted/used more than what it is right now.
2. At the least, 1 X-Division match on every PPV. Yes we get X-division matches but most of the time theyre thrown together just to get all the talent on a PPV with no build up.
3. In a month there should be at least 3 impacts without gimmick matches. All these randomly thrown together gimmick matches do nothing except take away the value of these type of matches at a PPV. Who wants to pay to see a PPV with a ladder match when theyre on every other Impact?
4. More matches with clean finishes. Is it so much to ask for more clean finishes?
5. Limit yourself to 3 ladder matches a year. This includes the KOTM match as well as the X-Division KOTM. So you can have 1 after that.
6. Have at least 3 ppv's a year headlined by TNA Originals with the exception of Kurt Angle. How many ppv's do we need headlined by Sting, Foley, Nash, Steiner, Booker... 3's an easy and generous target.
7. Get rid of these people out of TNA. Rhaka Khan, Somejobber Bolt, Christy Hemme, Jesse Neal, Kip James, BG James, Jenna Morasca, Sharmell, Shark Boy, Rob Terry, Jethro Holiday and Foley's security. Also get Nash out of the ring and give him a different on air role.
8. Never put Nash, Steiner or Booker T over the following people; AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniels, Matt Morgan, LAX, Beer Money, MCMG, Jay Lethal and Amazing Red. Why? As your taking the best young talent in the world and jobbing them to broken down old men when you should be creating new talent.
9. Dont book non wrestlers in a wrestling role. I.E Sharmell and Jenna Morasca.
10. Always start the top of the hour on impact with wresling. Why? Because at 9:57 when all the shows have finished people start channel surfing. If they turn on tna and its adverts, they're going to keep surfing where as if theres wrestling they may be interested and watch thus boosting the ratings.
11. When your going to book a big match for tna PROMOTE IT IN ADVANC! How many times do we find out its a major match (I.E Aj vs Angle in a tables match) on the current program. Promote in advance and the ratings will grow.

Heyman would make me a TNA fan again as I know he can put on a great show.

1. Get a whole new booking team - Seriously, who books this crap?
2. Stop signing Knockouts - It seems that every week a new one is signed, and Knockout tag titles? Really?
3. Enough of veterans vs. young guys - It doesn't work, the young guys have to slow down their style making the matches average. Unless the veteran is Kurt Angle.
4 Stop pushing washed up hasbeens - Sting, Foley, Nash should all just retire
5. Fire: Rhino, Jesse Neal, Cody Deaner, BG James, Kip James, Taz, Jenna Morasca, majority of the Knockouts
6. Focus on X-Division more - we have more Knockout matches than X-Division
7. Get rid of Legends title
8. Fire Mick Foley
9. Put Don West back on commentary
10. And did I mention FIRE MICK FOLEY!

^ Thats another one. BRING DON BACK! Yea! It's the best improvement they can easily make Btw your points were all great, TNA should read this thread instead of using WCW for their ideas.

I know, Don is the best commentator I've heard, he cracked me up on every impact ever since his heel turn and even before then, Mike Tenay was the one who always shouted and screamed not West. Thanks , they're from foolkiller99 a youtuber who does a tna review for every Impact. He's hardly well known but in my opinion he's the person who realy knows about the wrestling buisness.

how about
1. Build up to PPV's. Dont have wrestlers fight on impact if your planning to have them fight on the ppv. Build it up.Let em talk smack.But keep it at that.Make the ppv's be more than a pay episode of Impact.
2. Have your house shows mean something like in the 80s. Have random title changes here and there at house shows.Not the world title.But X Devision,Tag titles. Bring back the idea that anything can happen at any show.
3.Quit having wrestlers switch from heel to face every 2 weeks.Its confusing.
4. Dont bury TNA originals with ex WWE/WCW guys. It makes the other promotions look stronger and TNA weaker.
5. CLEAN FINISHES!!!!! Quit having every main event be a cluster fudge!
Just my thoughts.

Yeah I'm getting sick to death of the Impact Zone, to be honest it just doesn't give me that feeling that TNA is one of the biggest promotions out there when they're wrestling infront of 900-1000 people in this little sound-stage, I know TNA might not have the funds or whatever to take it to a bigger Arena but to be honest, the Impact Zone makes TNA look like a glorified Indy even if they start sticking Screens everywhere. Start off small in a maybe 1000-2000 capacity Arena and then expand on, not to mention TNA can rake in more money compared to the Impact Zone which is free entry.
Also another thing, DO NOT have PPV Matches on your show, I'm getting sick of TNA always pulling out their big gun wrestlers every week, whats the point of seeing these guys on PPV? Because its a title shot? But hang on TNA's been doing Title shots on Impact aswell. Leave that stuff to the PPV's please. Let the new guys have their time to shine, and let the Bigger guys have a short segment on Impact to beef up their matches on PPV.
Clean finishes are a must, and please more Wrestling than Promos/Advertisements on the show, from a few shows most Wrestling time is under 30 even 20 Minutes on a 2 Hour show.
Other than that I have no gripes with TNA, I still enjoy the show but those points I pointed out could do wonders for TNA.

Also, have some one-on-one world title matches. I'm sick of fatal four ways and triple threats

1)Hire new bookers 2)Longer matches on Impact 3)Bring back Don West(I thought he was the worst commentator for so long ,then when they get rid of him,I realized how much I miss him) 4)Get rid of the Legends championship.It's is about as useful as the Million Dollar Championship.They should start over with a new mid card title. 5)Push D'Angelo Dinero 6)Make the X-Division seem good/important again. 7)Less MEM. 8)Get new talent in the main event picture.(see 5) 9)Less promos on Impact. 10)More clean finishes. 11)Stop doing stupid things like have Deaner and ODB feud over the Knockout's championship.The knockout division was one of the few things I thought TNA did a great job with and what do they do?Have Deaner in the title picture.

Stop using #1 contender matches as PPV filler.
