Dutch Mantell. Usage of their X-Division and Homegrown stars. Hiring all these has-beens (Dudleys, Hall, Nash) as WRESTLERS. If they were managers or writers that be ok, but don't hire 51 year old wrestlers, if your company's slogan is "New face of professional wrestling" Right on the spot with that one If TNA IS the Future, then why is Sting, Steiner, Nash and Team 3D wrestling? Sure, they have some Value to them to what they have done in the past, but TNA should be the Future and should be pushing their own talent. Their have value based on what they have done. TNA is cashing in on their names. It's easier to get new fans to tune in if you've got recognizable names. I'm not saying that I agree with what TNA is doing, this is just the way they are probably looking at it. |

5) 3D kidnapping the X-Tittle, and bassicly making them X Stars. I don't think that made Team 3D X Division stars, but it certain made the entire X Division look weak. It made Jay Lethal look the weakest of them all since he's been the X Division champion during the entire angle and has done almost nothing to get his title back. If Team 3D is about to compete in an X-Division signature match, and the other 4 guys in the match are X-Division stars, then I think it's safe to say that they're officially X-Division competitors, whether TNA wants to admit it or not. |

Trying too hard to be a bigger company than they are. Ditch the fireworks and ditch the six sided ring. What always made them different was their X division, simple storylines, and good solid wrestling. All that has been replaced by too many backstage skits, a devalued x division, and Original talent getting tv time taken away by former wwe guys. ECW had the right idea back in the day when they hid their weaknesses and just went with what they did best.

I completely agree with everything you said, though I would probably keep the six-sided ring because it adds some exciting spots for the X-Division. |

putting too much time into ex-wwe garbage. turning their own aj styles into an f'n joke, not pushing samoa joe to the world title, turning jay lethal into a joke. I feel like I'm watching wcw in their last year.

Making AJ a heel(he and Jeff Hardy reason why I started watching TNA). Not using that much of "actual" x-divison matches(springboards, suicide dives, moonsaults, 450 splashes, etc.). Breaking up AMW. Having weak usage of tag team divison. Having a lot of monster chacters(estimate: 10). Dumbass gimmicks("the guru"sonjay dutt, "maple leaf muscle"petey  ING williams, no more needed, figure it out). Too many old WCW wrestlers(Scott Stiener, I got my eye on you). Merchandice not sold at many of major retailers. I'm stopping right here because I could go on, and on, and on... |

TNA's biggest mistake is letting Kurt Angle have Impact revolve around him.

I think he meant that since Kurt Angle has come to TNA, it's been Total Nonstop Angle. You should have your champion be the focus of your show, but putting every single title on one guy is ridiculous. I don't care who it is. |

I agree. AJ was their top face for a long time and now he's lost in the shuffle with all the "big names" that they've brought it. I hope he turns face soon and goes against Angle for the TNA Title.

Everything is all Kurt Angle, it's getting old. and BTW I think that Angle should have won the ECW title before leaving WWE, that way he would be the most decorated champion in the history of professional wrestling. |

hiring Blackdust..oh i mean black reign I agree. It makes me sick every time I think about the fact that he is featured attraction while poor Petey Williams is working the undercard with Scott Steiner. I mean, freakin' 3 Live Kru was better than Black Reign. And that, is pathetic by every meaning of the word. |

The biggest mistake TNA's making is, not giving Robert Roode the TNA Title.
