TNA's Future

What does everyone think of TNA's future?

[Dr. Wrestling]

TNA has survived three years but it's obvious TNA is not a stable company right now. TNA has changed the way people watch wrestling with the fast paced matches of the X Division and the X Division put TNA on the map. The one thing that TNA didn't do with alot of the X Division wrestlers was establish a character. The wrestler would go in the ring flip around do some great moves,and then the match would end but there's no character being established. If characters are not established there is not much to build a storyline with and the only thing most of the matches are based on are the high flying moves. The X Division has many great wrestlers but not many characters. If there is a storyline the audience can follow it could help sell a pay per view where there is a X Division match because the audience has followed the storyline and will want to see what happens next.

Jeff Jarrett has also been part of TNA's problem. Jarrett had used his backstage power to be NWA TNA Heavy Weight champion for most of the time that TNA has existed. Jarrett was never a main event wrestler in WWE and just because he was NWA TNA champion for eleven months doesn't mean he has the skills to be in the main event of a pay per view. Jarrett has only lost the title at the last possible time when he had already defeated the other legitimate contenders for the title. Jarrett lost the title to A.J. Styles at Hard Justice because there wasn't that many legitimate contenders for the title that he hadn't defeated already. I think that Jarrett is the Triple H of TNA and he used his backstage power to keep the title when he should have lost the title. I think A.J. Styles should have had the belt longer but I think it was a good decision to have Raven win the title because it is some thing different then Jeff Jarrett main eventing every pay per view. I think the Raven/Abyss feud was a good decision because it is something different then Jarrett wrestling in the main event of the pay per view. It was reported on Internet sites that Raven was added to the match when Jarrett didn't want to be in the match because he wasn't winning the belt back and if Jarrett didn't want to be in the match because he wasn't winning the belt back then Jarrett didn't deserve the belt in the first place. I think there are many different feuds that TNA could have had for the Heavy Weight title. The Abyss/Raven feud is good because they have had good matches before and the match at the pay per view should be good. A Styles/Raven feud for the title could be good because of the good matches both wrestlers have had. An Abyss/Styles feud for the title could be good because of the good match they had at Lock down.

The T.V. situation is some thing that TNA needs to do some thing about because if TNA doesn't have T.V. TNA can't get their product to the general wrestling fan. TNA shows being on the Internet isn't going to help TNA because it was reported that some people couldn't download the show because of the amount of people trying to download the show. TNA possibly signing a deal with Spike could help but they wouldn't be able to get on Spike until the WWE Raw deal expires at the end of September. TNA wouldn't be able to get on Spike until October and that would have TNA promoting their next three pay per views on the Internet.

I think that if TNA could get back on T.V. and have good feuds then TNA will survive and possibly compete with WWE but if TNA doesn't get back on T.V. and doesn't have new feuds then TNA will eventually shut down. If TNA would shut down it wouldn't help the wrestling business because WWE needs competition to have better shows. The Monday night wars had WWE having good matches and feuds to get better ratings then WCW but now with no competition WWE can put whatever they want on T.V. TNA isn't on T.V. so if someone wants to watch wrestling on T.V. then they will have to watch whatever WWE puts on T.V. If TNA can get back on T.V. they will survive and if TNA doesn't get back on T.V. eventually TNA will shutdown.

The X Division has many great wrestlers but not many characters

Really good point, didn't even think about that before but your right. Maybe another reason why I don't like the X-Division. I think the Fallen Angel is one of the few characters in the X-Division. He's not bad.

Yeah Jeff Jarrett didn't help TNA by never giving up the belt. He owns/promotes TNA and hurt them by always having the belt and thinking he was the best. The Franchise would of been a great champion in the beginning of TNA. Also they still might have Randy Savage if Jarrett wasn't so high on himself and would of been willing to share the belt with a true and proven champion like Macho.

They definitily need to get on TV weekly so people can see them. You need TV and PPVs not just one, ask ECW about that.

WWE needs competition or their writers and Vince pretty much just sit on their money and don't care.
