I like TNA, but personally, I just forget to watch it sometimes lol. In other words, I think they have to advertise their product more. I live in NYC, and on every train, there are Smackdown billboards. I think that’s why I always remember to tune into SD!. Also, TNA has to create better storylines. They have great wrestlers, but the storylines surronding them aren’t all that great.
TNA has to find a way to bring new fans to watch there show, what i mean is find difference fans then WWE fans. i believe TNA almost could of had a bigger fanbase. if Sarah Plain accepted there offer and show up there live, i mean she is a role model to millions of females, and look at the rating she gave SNL, so if TNA got her then they could’ve gotten new wrestling fans, who stop watching wrestling thinking it’s for kids, or the ones who don’t watch wrestling. so i believe TNA needs to bring celebrities in, something that would make the media talk about them
promote more
and make it more interesting
in australia they have like 5 commercials a week (that i actually see)
and wwe gets like 12 (that i see)
also they put wwe commercials during tna
and ive never seen a tna commercial on wwe
i also find it pretty boring (foley pretty much wrecked it)
well i think they need to continue doing what they did last week. first good show theyv done in ages, some good matches, a bit of drama, some titles change hands, some questions are raised. if they continue on like they are doing then they could defo make it over the 1.1
the main things i wanted changing in TNA are actualy starting to mold and theyr actualy starting to do them. JJ is showing more connection to the Frontline, Beer Money have some competition which could give them the chance to show they are borderline light heavyweights, MCMG fighting against eachother? i mean i know they said they wouldnt split but honestly i think shelleys and sabins egos will get in the way if they do choose for a “flip a coin and the loser lies down” aproach.
they can do it they just need to stop trying things that dont work and start doing the things that did.
I say more people have 2 give them a chance and tune in 2 watch u see with TNA being a 1.1 for 14 weeks they do have a mainstream viewers they just need more people tuning in. so really if they want 2 increase there ratings they need 2 promoter there Business a lot better than they do now.
TNA needs to accentuate the positive qualities that make them different from WWE. All this talk about “Crossing the Line” and all I’ve really seen is a mirror image of WWE with slightly faster paced matches. They want to be too much like the Attitude Era, and assume that since all these 18-36 year olds aren’t tuning in to WWE products because of the PG fan base, then maybe they’ll look to TNA to pick up the scraps that WWE dropped 7 years ago.
TNA’s strongest elements are their X-Division and Knockout Division. These days both divisions could use a bit of work. Around 2005, and before that the X-Division was great and I was always tuning in to see Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Christopher Daniels. TNA doesn’t only have good wrestlers. They have hard workers. They have guys who’s loyalty doesn’t depend on a check, but the desire to see their product evolve. Crossing the line, is featuring the X-Division as your main attraction. Crossing the line is the Knockouts ladder match we saw last year. Crossing the line is….and I hope your ready for this….actually focusing on the WRESTLING aspect of your show unlike WWE. And TNA is also starting to move away from that with their promos every 5 minutes. My feeling is this. If a promo or segment will not be used to excel a feud or storyline, then there is no need for it. To their credit, TNA has hit a plateau as far as the over the top gimmicks. I can do without Jay Lethals Macho Man Gimmick or the “Guru” Sonjay Dutt, but 2006 and 2007 were much worse. And now, at least were safe from ideas like the fish market match or that dreadful fake electric cage match.
In closing, TNA is just going to have to turn off the USA Network, and start focusing on what they do best and not what WWE did best. People are going to notice, that, which they have never seen before. I know. Because while WWE was pushing Evolution and all these other top guys I accidentaly stumbled upon TNA. They have potential. They can reach people who don’t watch wrestling. They ccan reach people who dont watch Spike TV. Heck, they can reach people who dont watch wrestling. Becuase those same viewers who are fed up with WWEs product will jump over and expect something new. TNA has the pieces. It’s time to construct this damn puzzle already.
They need to do these things
1.Move to another national television network
2.Promote the product more advertising.
3.Fire Russo
4.Create their own stars instead of relying on ex WWE/WCW talent people want a product thats different so they need to be different from WWE thats how WCW was succesful there were different from the WWE like bishoff said on the monday night wars dvd u cant beat WWE by trying to be them in their own game.
put the ******* title on AJ!
ohhh I know, go back to they were in 2002- 2005, that period of time was awesome and actually produced wrestling.
They need to realise they aren’t WWE. They constantly take cheap shots at WWE and WWE don’t respond simply because they are better.
Quit hiring whatever bait that comes out of WWE and find their own stars. Thats one of the reasons WCW went out of business
change networks
