IF I RAN TNA (PROS and CONS of TNA)

[3rd Hardy]

i would stop bringing in old guys like steiner and have all the tna originals beat the christians and the kurt angles for the main belt.

aj styles should leave for wwe as there is nothing left for him.

Samona joe needs to beat sting for the title as he's all ready had angle, but they need the belt on him soon or they will lose his momentum like wwe did with rvd in 2001

[Iceman]

I see your opinions 3rd Hardy (and welcome back by the way). I actually think Steiner and Sting bring a lot to TNA and helped bring them to the next level with known, proven talent, and star power. Steiner is still great on the mic no doubt. He proved it this week against Team 3D, lol. "Listen hear fatso", lol.

Kurt Angle was the newest big boost to go against and try and help close in the balance between TNA and the WWE. Huge to get him for TNA.

Christian I don't like. Tomko is alright though.

AJ Styles is beat now. He was better when he was a good guy, he's can't be a heal, he looks like a little kid out there as one, lol.

Samoa Joe, hmm, I think he's overated. I don't like seeing him in main events. A little surprised they let him beat Sting this week. Joe's not in his league or a main eventer to me. Joe would be a great, Indy Wrestler. But, if he was say 6 inches taller, then making him look powerful and tough would be more believable. Otherwise he doesn't look big enough to me, and is just some guy with bad shorts which are pulled up to high because he has a stomach. Sorry, lol.

Finally, please get rid of all the X-Division and Lightweights in TNA. Otherwise filler matches. We, or I don't want to see them. Put on a show with the top guys in the whole thing like the WWE does. Makes sense if you want to compete against them. We don't want to see cruiser weights. Leave them in the Indy Shows and Fire Halls. That's what's bringing TNA down and slowing them down in taking it to the next level. Have Kevin Nash wrestle, instead of train them too, lol.

[3rd Hardy]

I just feel that tna has lost some off it's originality.

Kurt Angle putting samoa joe or aj over would be huge boost and give tna a hugh name that has no wwe history.

also with americans most wanted now split up they should give the heel one the x division title.

[Burnham]

i think TNA should bring in some of there own young talent!

I agree completely with you dude. If TNA has any chance of survival they need to push their own younger talent for they will be around longer than the older ones. Granted, Sting, Steiner etc may boost ratings but at the end of the day..they had their time on top, it's now time to help the younger ones get the recognition they deserve and make champions out of them. Remember Sting, Steiner etc were all Rookies breaking into the business once upon a time

[RKO Babe]

i agree one or two matters.
one yes i would Love to see nash wrestle again.
2 i think the time has gone for steiner.......

[DA NEMISIS]

ok, i know Im new here, But i have seen the wrestling industry in many forms (both good and bad). But what i see here are some very valid points.
With the X Division Gimmick Matches (Elevation X)- I say put both young AND old in it.
And the X Division should comprise of Cruiserweights and international stars, worked for ECW? Mayvbe even combine it with hardcore concept matches? What we have now in WWE is no title holder, previous being a Lepricaun. Im sure they did this to the Hardcore title too. Just a pure mockery of it.

And the old VS. young guys, this always works well, Look at Angle Vs Mysterio, they always took the roof off in their matches.

The more 'well known' wrestlers (steiner/s, nash etc.) put them with younger guys (TAG) for a short lived push in the cards, maybe a month. Just to get them over more with the fans.

just a thought?

[Desertrage]

TNA wont get their own younger talent to win the main TNA belt. You wanna know why? Let me point this out to you guys. It's Wrestling Business. Business is Business. Business they know they have to do in order to run their Business successful.

They need older Talent. Talent who fails being in WWE, or gets released by them. TNA is around to do business of those Wrestlers who either don't want to be in WWE any longer, or who got released by them.

You tell me if you had your own Wrestling Promotion that you wont let someone who hasn't really proven themselves to the Pro Wrestling world to be the main Champion?

Although it would be nice to see new talent like A.J. Styles, Abyss, and Samoa as the main champion, but it wouldn't be good business with other wrestling promotions around.

So if I ran TNA. I would get proven Talent. Wrestlers who worked in WWE who got released. Talent who can be trusted to not be proven to have a problem with drugs (Andrew "Test" Martin is an example to what I am talking about)

They need proven Wrestlers who they know that can entertain us, and last in the promotion a lot longer than Andrew Martin, and Rikishi Fatu did.

I think it's great for TNA that they now have Booker T working for them. As far as new Talent goes. They need to prove themselves first!

[DA NEMISIS]

they personally need to stop relying on already set stars (Nash, Angle, Hall, Jarrett, Sting...) and focus on starting their younger guys as Main eventers (Abyss, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Tomko....)

And stop bringing in oldies, look what happened to Scott Hall on Turning Point

[3rd Hardy]

Having a young guy beat a kurt angle for the belt makes them a bigger star and gives them the push, then if they have the promo skills they stay over.

[Desertrage]

Sounds like to me you are talking about wanting someone like "Showtime" Eric Young winning the TNA Championship. He hasn't proven that much too much to me other than having a drinking problem.

I wasn't talking about TNA should get older talent guys like Scott Hall, or even Andrew Martin. In fact they should stay away from signing Chris Masters (IMO)

If TNA is all about what Samoa Joe talked about in the "Turning Point" rant, then it wouldn't be a problem for the young talent to develop into big stars. The older talent has already paid their dues, and paved the way for these young wrestlers.

I don't care what wrestling fed it is. TNA, or WWE. Older Talent will always be needed.

I don't have a problem with TNA pushing younger talent to be TNA Champion so long they earn it by paying their dues.

[3rd Hardy]

no not eric, i mean joe or kaz.

the x div title should be used more like the intercontintal belt then roode could have it.

aj and daniels need to jump now to wwe there stale and under used

[Def Leppard Van Halen]

1. FIRE VINCE RUSSO!!!
2. Cut back on gimmick matches.
3. Although I like the idea of mixing old and new talent, cut back on former WWE stars.
4. Develop a talent exchange with a Japanese promotion (either with NJPW or AJPW).

I couldnt agree more especially with Russo I hate Vince Russo and personally when WCW brought him in it was the final nail in their coffin.

[NWA AWA 1]

Bringing in Japanese stars, adding more "known" characters, team 3D vs the x division all helps. Booker T is a very good addition. The push Tomco is getting is smart, definitly a future world champion. I probably miss Sting the most. Still my favorite, a more complete wrestler now that age has caught up on him. Tna just needs to do things that make sense and keep pushing sound wresling. People will eventually get sick of the wwe bs.
