I would argue that at the moment, TNA have got the weakest roster that they've ever had. The only real established names they have at the moment are Bobby Lashley, Cody Rhodes, Tyrus and then Abyss and James Storm. I agree that EC3 and Mike Bennett etc. are great stars, though I feel that they aren't able to carry the company at the moment, they still need a bit of a push. I therefore think that TNA needs to try and acquire some more established names this year. I'm also praying that they tour India to satisfy Sony Six at some point this year as well, because to lose Sony Six would be a disaster. I'm praying that something came out of Jeff's meeting in London last week, but we'll see.

Do we want People Complaining that TNA will sign another WWE guy? or do we want to have people complaining that they signed an Indy Darling they don't know?
Some people are Fickle.

There's realistically nobody out there big enough to be considered a "major" signing for TNAnthem.

There is nothing TNA impact can do or a wrestler they can sign to turn this sinking ship around.
They could sign any of WWE or ROH hottest stars right now and they would still screw it up.
The company has no money and no ratings. The best thing that could happen is WWE or ROH buy them out.
Whatever Dixie Carter got for selling TNA to anthem was that much plus 1 dollar too much.

They've got a deal going with Pro Wrestling NOAH, so maybe they can get some guys from there to help for a while.
There's also the man fka Wade Barrett, now going by Fake News Bennett apparently. Alberto Del Rio is also working the indies. I don't know if MVP can return, I hope he does.
They can also scout around some independents.

Not one person you named is even close to "major" or would help TNA in any shape or form. Not one. TNA's best option is to try to start back from square one and make bigger names for guys well known on the Indy circuit. Only problem is, that's now what Hunter is doing in NXT and honestly, who is gonna turn down a shot at NXT/the WWE? TNA will just end up with those who don't make the cut for the PC... like Eddie Kingston. |

They should get Kenny Omega and Bullet Club and have them run TNA. Betcha that would make tna more popular. Well only with the smarks. No regular american cares about kenny omega.

I think turning Cody heel was a major mistake. Then again, I dont think he is actually on the roster. Right now TNA is in DIRE need of babyfaces. They have EC3 and then their next biggest is probably Moose. |

They need more than just more talent in there; the pieces seem to be there but aren't quite fitting together...I do hope they can turn it around with Jarrett back in some position of influence...

This is what makes me angry about TNA. They SHOULD have succeeded. All the right tools were there. They had everything they needed: a fantastic roster, an original product, primetime slot on Spike, a company feeding them money, a PPV deal, global recognition.... How did they  this up??? I wonder if the brain trust at Anthem have come to terms with the fact that this was a gigantic waste of money? |

TNA was a hot property, but Ditzy Carter and her infatuation with Vince Russo ruined everything. |

You can blame Dixie for that, TNA was red hot back then and was still going good in 2012-14. But after Jarrett and Styles left everything just went downhill for TNA. Although if one thing TNA does good is creating stars, but I don't see that happening right now. |

TNA should invite some of those guys for a Gutcheck and they might strike gold like they did with EC3 and Eli Drake. |

Maybe they can pull a Bischoff-Russo era move and revamp the roster. Strip titles, make everyone fight for a top spot. Haha
Seriously though I heard Drake, EC3, Richards, Edwards, Lashley and Moose have signed extensions so they are there for a bit. However I don't know if they'll stay afterwords. Imo, they need to take some mid card talent and prepare to build them up. Send some feelers into the Indys for mid card/top talent. I feel like Impact has zero backup plans. Where is the strategic team? Where are the guys who plan the future in this company? Haha. I mean yeah they are losing top guys but they really should have seen this coming. As much as I love Impact, they should take a lay low period to rebuild and maybe eliminate some assets. Dixie was biting off too much and it's costing them now

Dixie was biting off too much and it's costing them now TNA kind of did that before they moved to Pop TV. They had a tournament after Matt Hardy vacated his World Heavyweight Championship for no reason 3 days after winning it. |
