What's wrong with Isiah Thomas? Anyway, the reason that PhD doesn't like my idea is because it would actually work. I would signed established, recognizable stars away from the WWE AND I would develop younger talent. PhD's fed would have cards with great matches that no one outside of his local region would watch.

Do tours to UK , Canada , Japan or Auz at least ///
Promote what is happening on Impact next week . (1 week AMW v AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels also Christian defended his heavyweight belt . It said nothing the week before . \\\
Push thier big 3 AJ , Joe & Daniels more . Also push the smaller lower and mid card region . \\\
No monster squash kills on Impact v jobbers \\\
Maybe a cruiserweight belt division . ///
Proper ladies wrestling (I mean what the hell is that Jackie * Gail Kim all about every week ?) \\\
Ask the fans what they want to see and deliver it . ///

My only REAL complaints of with Bazzy's ideas.
A cruiserweight division is redundant with the X division. With one, you don't need the other.
Proper ladies wrestling...should ONLY be on the agenda when they have more than one hour of TV a week. They already struggle to get everyone TV time.

X Division... no need for either one... to me both just seem to be an excuse to have a place for the "spot fest" wrestlers anyhow... too many belts just seem to lower the credibility of a title and the champion, but thats just my opinion Womens wrestling... in the USA, you can almost forget it being anything but a T & A show. Seems the only true womens wrestling is in Japan anymore, I will admit there are a few exceptions in the U.S. WWE womens division is mostly a poor joke, less wrestling and more of a excuse to keep the card carrying fan boys in the seats. |

Sorry to disagree, but one of TNAs biggest selling points is that they allow the cruisers the freedom to do big spots. Not all fans want to see WWE style grounded matches. The com[pany has two singles belts and there is such a clear distinction between the divisionsthat i don't think it hurts the credibility at all. If anything, looking at TNA's history and the quality and depth of the X Division and the sheer number of reigns by JJ, the X title is arguably the more prestigious. |

Number 6 - hire Tom Filsinger, Mark Ashby and Kris Osk to be my writers, and pay them a lot of money!

definitely your opinion and that is respected... my main gripe is the all the cookie cutter spot fest clones, it would be nice if some of them would actually show some grappling skill...dont get me wrong, I'm not saying all TNA cruisers/X guys are this way, but definetly seems to be many of them if not the majority... if I want to see spot fests I'll watch CMLL, at least luchadores do it better *smirk*

You're totally right about the cookie cutter thing. It'd be nice if there were some guys with a little variation in their moveset. That's why I like the addition of someone like Low-Ki and I think some mat wrestling guys (like bryan danielson) would be worth signing.
And they could definitely do more to develop some personalities in their guys.

I'm not sure how good a fit Danielson would be in TNA, and I'm a huge mark for Danielson. So much of his style is that "slow burn" in the early part of his matches. Dragon matches don't typically get into second gear before most TNA matches, PPV or otherwise, are finished. Trying to squeeze a 30-45 minute match down into 10-20 minutes might water his style down to where he wouldn't stand out from the crowd any more.

First off, establish the talent who will be slated as the main eventers then the mid carders and so on, then production will be like yester year, the only part of the arena that had light would be the ring, second have the starts of yester year begin to pass the torch to the guy or guys in which will lead the charge then slowly faze out the old guys by at first teaming them with someone for a while until they are completely fazed out, then begin to create a story based on championship chases, feuds caused by competition not by soap opera, bring back jobbers to let the talent showcase their skills, cut down on PPV's so that a proper build up could be made with two guys in a feud. This is just the begining of the growth that TNA should be doing my ideas go on and on but this is all I will list as of now!!! Outisde of hardcore wrestling traditionalists, who would watch this kind of promotion? I'm not a hardcorte traditionalist, I think the focus should be on the wrestling like the old days, you wouldn't think of Sammartino, Andre, Snuka, Backlund...etc. are hardcore, go back to what was working, get back to the roots of wrestling. |

I would do something that the WWF used to do very effectively but has forgotten recently-target KIDS. When wrestling was at it's peak in the 80's, it was marketed heavily towards kids. Wrestling became a family event. I would take the wrestlers in my fed, put together some kind of presentation, (anti-drugs, physical fitness, merits of hard work/discipline) and then get those wrestlers out to the schools. If kids saw a cool presentation by a wrestler that they thought was cool, they would tune in to watch that guy wrestle on TV. This is kind of what got my family into wrestling. We watched it simply because the "guy from Rocky 3" was on TV. Wrestling has always had a strong appeal to kids. Get the wrestlers out to where the kids are and they will tune in to watch them.

Cakejedi I was going to go the same way. One of the things that was great when I first started watching wrestling was that my brother and father watched with me. It was something that we did together and when we went to our first match at the Baltimore Civic Center in 1981 it was a time I'll never forget. I got to see Andre the Giant in the Main Event! Good and Evil were very clear. Wrestling was the focus but the ring psychology was so much better. In today's format of "Crash" TV with shorter matches it becomes a bit harder but it needs to improve. I'd want to do a show like NWA Worldwide wrestling. Focus on the wrestling, but a need a develop the personalities of each wrestler. Make the titles important, limit title changes, bring back the managers and valets. Make the wrestling moves matter. You can't be expected to believe that a wrestler can take 12 chair shots, 3 DDTs and 2 Piledrivers and not have brain damage of some type. You can still have storylines but they drive you to the matches and the titles. I could never get the whole thing that people say the WWF started soap opera wrestling. The Old territories did great angles where people cared about the wrestlers and then bought plenty of tickets.
