TNA has bunches and bunches of superstars that go week after week without even getting time to showcase there talent. If TNA was to have a second show it would open the door for many of these superstars to develop without having to throw them out there radomly and start over again. So if you ask me TNA has more then what it takes to run a second show (Except maybe the ratings but they would come)

So do you believe TNA has the ability to run to shows? If so how would you go about splitting the roster to even out the shows.

Yeah TNA definately needs another show, the roster is all crowded up and some wrestlers don't have enough TV time, and maybe the 2nd show could have a hour just so the wrestlers have tv time.

I don't think that TNA should have a second show until there iMpact ratings go up and get more exposure. The bit about the superstars is wrong because they fit most of them in although I dont really like that. iMpact is fine how it is and TNA will get a second show when they need one.

The only way I would like a second show is if it was for the Knockouts only because they get the highest ratings iof each show and would actually be able to all fit on the show but other then thast NO!

Most of the wrestlers who don't get featured are shit. Jimmy Rave is the only one I give a flying fuck about.

The problem with TNA isn't a lack of time; it's a lack of booking ability.

I think that they could use another like 1 hour show, like Thunder was, or like ECW currently is now, and use it to build the main shows storylines, and also give the dudes who don't get a go some TV time, as well as from time to time have some main guys. Like maybe an Angle once a month, and then a Sting. I'd be interested to see something like that, but as James said, it really comes down to the amount of retardism that occurs in the head of Russo and Mantel.

They could definately use it but it's not wise business wise, it COSTS MONEY to produce another show. money they dont have.

As a TNA fan you would think that it would only be right for me to want to see more TNA every week.....

Well, you would be right. My opinion is based only on the fact that I am such a big TNA fan that I just can't get enough of the product, and I want to see more of it. It doesn't necessarily have to be another iMPACT! show, but something like Xplosion (which doesn't air in the US for some stupid reason) definitely wouldn't hurt.

TNA could be smart about this. Yea it cost's money so you know what you do. You start with the show streaming on the site. It still gives the wrestlers a chance to showcase, you can even advertise the web show on the TNA Impact broadcast. Now if ratings on the webshow are positive then you find a way to get it on the air. If it's bad work harder and harder to get them up. Once there high enough give it it's on TV time.

Impact needs to get its ratings much higher before we water down it's roster, which will no doubt decrease ratings anyway. You're better off having one show at 1.1 then losing money with two shows at 0.5

Does anyone really watch the first show??? Come on guys - I know there are TNA marks here but the fact remains that the first show is not the greatest show there is. I mean - everything is crowded into one lame ass show and to separate this into 2 shows would not help them in ANY way. They need to make the product better by making credible storylines, not hiring every single WWE reject and building up the guys who made TNA something to watch in the first place (daniels, styles, joe) and MAYBE, just maybe more people would actually watch Impact and WANT to see more. Right now is just not the time. And lets be really serious because someone in another thread said ECW should be all women - do you HONESTLY think that making an entire show about the knockouts or divas would garner ratings???? Is this what any if you think????

It doesn't matter....OMG - I got all excited for a minute - but in all seriousness, TNA needs to improve before they even THINK about adding another show.

^ TNA is not doing that bad at all at the moment, but no matter how much they improve their product the ratings don't rise. It has more to do with the entire TV world atm than TNA. TV ratings are generally down, WWE's may be three times, but it's also a company that had A LOT more history and background, casual fans know WHAT wwe is.

TNA needs marketing, that's all.

If anything they could make a 1 hour all X-Division show. I think that might get decent ratings.

you know what I was thinking, instead of a second brand TNA before every show or even on a different night have a "B-Show"

Like Raw's B Show USED to be HEAT
Like Smackdown's B Show USED to be Velocity (now ECW :laugh:)

but in all seriousness maybe there could be Thursday night TNA and say Saturday night or whatever something else. Just for lower card guys to fill up an hour show get over and move up to TNA or to give indie people a go at a TNA event on the B Show like wwe did and have 'tryouts'

Edit - or even a TNA TOUGH ENOUGH HOSTED BY SCOTT STEINER !
