With 6 top TNA stars leaving TNA (Drew Galloway, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Mike Bennett, Maria and Jade) what is there future. I think they need a reset, there X-Division hasn't been a good feature in ages, they don't have a tag team division and with top stars leaving they need to do something. I also think they should start doing appearance fees rather than contracts so they can build a lot of stars up and get a lot of talent in but don't need them every taping.

Give me $500/match and I will show up in the Impact Zone and put over Bobby Lashley, Eddie Edwards, EC3, Eli Drake or whoever is still with the company.

Improve Eli Drake's wrestling skills and you have a bonafide main eventer to carry the company

Just as we think TNA are dead, they get some kinda funding or whatever, its been a long slow death for TNA. Theyve lost another 6 stars but have some deal with NOAH (?) its like two steps back and one forward, they seem to come back from the brink all the time but never get ahead enough to not need more support a few months later.

So 4 title holders have bailed on the company now ? Congrats anthem you have totally devalued TNA impact wrestling. If I was an up and coming wrestler, why would I go to impact ? Impact wrestling is like kmart, still alive but needs someone to buy them out to survive.
Then we got abyss trying to talk up the company. Abyss you are an idiot who should have went to WWE years ago and now it's too late.

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, there is a "Let's make TNA great again" marketing idea that Jeff Jarrett came up with. Apparently several names from the past have been contacted and there's talk of having Jarrett publicly bury the Dixie Carter regime on television.
As previously reported, Bruce Prichard is being brought back to TNA and could appear as soon as the March 9th edition of Impact Wrestling which is being taped tonight. Despite reports that Prichard would have a backstage role, Meltzer noted that Prichard is only being brought in as a TV character due to the success of his podcast.
Two names that are being said are Matt Morgan (as a top star) and Konnan. Morgan is currently preparing for a bodybuilding contest in June and it's expected he'll have a leaner look. In regards to Konnan, it's possible he will also bury the old TNA regime and bring back the LAX faction.
In an effort to makes things not as out of date, Jarrett's idea is to do four days of tapings with six episodes being taped.

At the moment?  But this is TNA we're talking about so I wouldn't be surprised if this is still being asked ten years from now. |

They can bring back Pritchard, Morgan, Konnan and even Homicide for that matter, but please do not bring Hernandez or Chavo Guerrero.

They could bring ANYBODY in at this point. They just lost 6 people that were extremely important for the show. I mean with all these releases WHO (who? who? who?) will they even put in a storyline together?? They have Decay who will probably feud with DDP eventhough both teams are supposed to be heels, the X-Division is Trevor Lee, Everett and Zema Ion. Then you have Eli Drake and Tyrus who badmouth someone and the Wolves who feud against each other with the trainwreck that is Angelina Love right in the middle. The Main Event scene only consists of 2 people, EC3 and Lashley who ran through everybody already. How, and I really mean HOW will they try to be relevant and succesful if THIS is their roster?

Del Rio adds nothing imo. Personally speaking, he's more of a reason to not watch. The guy climbed every single mountain in WWE and still couldn't get over.

He makes a great heel, if you leave him as the Mexican aristrocrat. Del Rio is a solid piece on the heel side of the main event. The problem is you have NO credible babyface main eventers outside of EC3. I dont buy Eddie Edwards as a main event guy. |

The timing was off on the way they got him to the main event and then it was a case of trying to make a guy with the title. I like EE but I just don't think he worked the way they envisioned. |

Del Rio is the epitome of average. Fits right in with TNAnthem. He just isn't a top guy. Never has been, never will be.

You have VERY high standards if you are calling Del Rio average. Im not a Del Rio fan either. But I think you are being a bit harsh on his skill level. |

Most in which came from his stint on the indies before returning to the WWE. He's absolutely nothing special at all. Harsh or not, just honest. |
