We all know AJ Styles left the company, and then Jeff Jarrett, and we'll even throw Jeff Hardy in there for the sake of what I'm about to say. But what everyone is wondering is if they're really gone for good (Jeff's not, but you'll understand in a minute.)...
My hopes, like most TNA fans, is that this is all a work. I hope when TNA goes to the UK, they have Jeff Jarrett pop up on the big screen standing in a 6 sided ring in the IMPACT Zone, and say that he's left "IMPACT Wrestling" and he's reclaiming what's his, and he recreates TNA, along with AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy as his first "recruits." Then as time goes on, more people leave "IMPACT Wrestling" for "TNA" because Jarrett brought back the "old" TNA, and everything that was good about it. I'm assuming Samoa Joe would be one of the first guys to "jump ship" since during the tournament for the new WHC Joe said if he wins that he'd walk out the door too.
This becomes a war between Jeff and Dixie, fighting over talent, and fighting over who's the real TNA.
This could easily set up for Team Dixie vs Team Jarrett at Lockdown. In the 5 on 5 Lethal Lockdown match, plus some others, and then in the main event, Magnus vs AJ Styles for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
What do you guys think? I know it's a bit far fetched, but I really think this would be great.

Far fetched is right but it would be entertaining.

That would be unbelievably incredible. Chances of seeing it? Probably slim to none. Let's hope though...

This is very much along the lines of the story I proposed several months ago.

Good idea, really good. Would love to see it, but I think you're giving too much credit to the TNA creative team.

Anyways this would be awesome.

-- The timing of it would be superb as well, considering Triple H has recently admitted the WWE Brand Split is no longer.
The next couple months are going to be very interesting, to say the least!

I think its 100% shoot on Jeff/AJ gone. But this would be a cool idea

Eh, you have to remember that this is the same company that's taken nearly 2 years to get the horrible Joseph Parks storyline near a finish. I love TNA, but their not exactly the brightest birds in the nest when it comes to storylines. They have been much better since Hogan and Bischoff left, but I still think this is too elaborate for them. We shall see though, I'd love to be proven wrong.

That would be interesting to see. If TNA hires more talent they could easily do a brand split.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a brand split, because the people on Team Dixie would all basically be heels, so it's not like they could do two shows every week really. I think it just needs to be a war that ends at Lockdown, and have Jeff Jarrett win back his company then, and have Dixie's heel boss roll be taken away. She could obviously still be the real life president, but in storyline, Jarrett would have full control.

Or rehire the original TNA wrestlers like Petey Willams, Sonjay Dutt, Low Ki, Chris Harris, etc and get some new talent who would've done well in the earlier TNA days like Kevin Steen, Adam Cole, young bucks, Greek God papdon, etc. I don't think they need a brand spilt though, I think they should just do a Team Dixie vs Team Jarrett Lethal Lockdown match and who ever wins gets control of TNA.

I think the whole Joe Pancake thing isn't just something randomly stupid they came up with, because why would a 13 year veteran be forced to do something like that if he didn't like it. I think he got tired of playing the monster all the time, and having to wear the mask all the time, and then Hogan had to destroy him of course so that there wasn't someone in the company more monstrous than the Hulkster brother! It's just like when Kane wanted to take his mask off, but Abyss never really had a backstory to the mask, so it's not like him taking it off would really make him change, story line wise anyways.

I know everyone's hopes were high for TNA, however I realistically see no future for the company. I want to, I really do. I wanted to see a tad bit of competition against the WWE but all of that is unfortunately behind them now. The WWE network will do away with the causal channel changer and to be honest if I can relive all of the WWE/ECW/WCW history, why tune into TNA to see Magnus versus Gunner? The average wrestling fan will now be consumed by this ability to see everything in HD, and for the average viewer unless something big is promised each week, they can only keep up the average rating they have now for a while. The only reason TNA will not go completely under is the contracts they have signed with Spike and Panda Energy. There is little chance the company will just shut off one day like ECW did. That won't ever happen. It will just become a very very minor league promotion with a nice time spot on Spike. Because I can't see big talent turning to them unless they cannot go back to WWE. Plus right now unless you are a die hard indy fan, there is no draw to watch TNA expect Kurt Angle, and I can't see him staying much longer. I know everyone will get mad at m, and wish for me to just go away with this opinion but I'm giving you my honest true opinion on it.
Not to mention, I still watch the show every other week so I can say I do like certain things about TNA, just the rate its at now is the all time lowest it has ever been since I started watching back when they had Wednesday Pay Per Views.
