Cornette should have pull

Let's face it, the idea in TNA is very similar to WWE. They feel that by being more entertaining they can bring in people who don't want to watch their product. Every episode of Impact is essentially made to attract people to the product and buy the PPV.

The difference is though that TNA PPVs bring professional wrestling content. Sure we can all say that the stories and angles make no sense but if it was down to the core wrestling, it's still by far better than the WWE's current state.

Now here's the shocker, Jeff Jarret and company aren't interested in running a professional wrestling company, they're interested in rivaling WWE in sports entertainment. Jim Cornette's a genius professional wrestling promoter and that's not what TNA's looking for, unfortunately it is what they need.

I feel my hope for TNA sinking...

The problem with TNA going after WWE's audience is that WWE's audience doesn't want/need an alternative... they aren't the type of wrestling fans that go out of their way to find more wrestling. They'll watch an episode of RAW or Smackdown, enjoy it, and move onto something else without giving it a second thought. A typical WWE fan would look at TNA's pint-sized Impact Zone and crowd and be immediately turned off simply because it's initials aren't W-W-E. Until TNA starts to target young adults and the smark community, I don't see TNA getting any bigger than it already is.
