If TNA had a second show how would you book it?

[Troy]

It has been hinted at for many years that TNA will add a second show to supplement IMPACT Wrestling. They tried TNA Reaction and that rated okay but didn't get an extended season. They tape TNA Xplosion for international markets and they also show TNA Epics (has top matches from TNA's earlier years) in international markets. There were also strong rumours that at one stage they were going to produce a Knockout's only television show since the KO's were consistently the highest rated part of IMPACT.

If you were given the choice what would you do with a second show for TNA?

Would it be one or two hours long? Would it focus on a specific division and if so what division (e.g. Knockout's, X-Division, Tag Team etc.)? Would it be an extension of IMPACT so basically just an extra hour of the same thing each week? Would it be for just the undercard (like Heat/Velocity used to be for WWE and what Superstars is now)? Would you give the show a gimmick? Would you use it to show highlights from the past like TNA Epics? Would you like TNA to bring back Reaction?

What would you do?

Alright I will post my thoughts first.

I would add a one hour show to TNA to compliment IMPACT. I would have it focus on a specific division rather than it being just another extension of what there is now. I would make it a KO's show. They are regularly the top rated segments on the show and if they had an hour each week it would make TNA actually book all the KO's on the roster in proper storylines. TNA have a singles title and a tag team title for the Knockout's so they can create two seperate divisions within a division to focus on for the one hour show. Then on IMPACT I would have no KO's featured but each week they would show a promo video showing what happened last week on the show and encouraging people to tune in. They would still be involved in PPV's like normal.

I think that it would rate quite well and would be a bold move by TNA to make.

Personally I would do a hybrid show with Knockouts and the X Division. These have been TNA's highest rated areas through the years and both are pretty much neglected on Impact. I'd give them and hour to where 3-4 matches and a promo or 2 could build back up these divisions.

 

[Troy]

That would work quite well. Like you said they are both basically ignored on IMPACT and would allow them to focus on the heavyweights and tag team divisions on IMPACT. The only issue would be wrestlers that switch between X-Division and other divisions like heavyweight or tag team but it would be good seeing a focus on both those divisions again. They are the two divisions that put TNA on the map and hopefully TNA will soon put some effort back into them.

I'd have iMPACT focus on TNA Heavyweight, some upper-mid-card feuds, Knockouts.

I'd have the second show focusing on Tag Teams and X-Division and bringing in some International Stars for a short feud or actually have them there and booking them. I'd have people on iMPACT make appearances to second show and such.

I'd watch Impact, then do the exact opposite.
