I don't think they need to trim their roster, IF them making a profit is true. Most the guys people want to cut, serve some small purpose of being on the roster. You are never going to like EVERY wrestler on a roster. Im not personally fond of the veterns (3D, James Gang, Sting, Nash, Rhyno) But they are used as veterns. So i understand.

The only guy i dont really like is Johnny Devine. Too generic and no personality. Thats what i think at least.

Basically get rid of the old WCW guys (cept Booker) the un-used and the stupid monster gimmicks.

Firing Eric young is stupid! He is one of the biggest face draws.

For some reason I am enjoying Kevin Nash. Don't ask me why, but hell wrestling's a funny business sometimes. Black Reign and Rellik are pointless. Eric Young's current gimmick is awful bu I wouldn't sack him, cause he's been a loyal servant to the promotion.

Haven't seen the Lockdown match yet (have it taped ready to mark out for Joe) so I'll save my judgement on Matt Morgan for the moment.

* Kurt Angle
* Black Reign/Dustin Rhodes (Virgil Runnels III) Old, washed up terrible in the ringand has a shit gimmick to go with his skills
* Booker T (Robert Booker Huffman) Talented, I'll admit, but TNA don't NEED him to achieve. Feud him with Kurt and then release him.
* Brother Devon (Devon Hughes)
* Brother Ray (Mark LoMonaco)
* Christian Cage (Jason Reso)
* Consequences Creed (Austin Creed)
* Curry Man (Daniel Covell) I wouldn't fire him but once the Curry Man gimmick dries up go back to Fallen Angel and give him that push to the ME
* Johnny Devine (John Parsonage)
* Sonjay Dutt (Retesh Bhalla)
* Hernandez (Shawn Hernandez)
* Homicide (Nelson Erazo)
* Lance Hoyt Isn't going nowhere as a singles competitor and Rave could be "someone" without Hoyt but Hoyt can't be "someone" without Rave
* B.G. James (Brian Gerard James) No explanation needed
* Kip James (Monty Sopp) I'd keep him because he's more talented than BG and can put over some talent too
* Kaz (Franklin Kazarian)
* Jay Lethal (Jamar Shipman)
* Matt Morgan
* Kevin Nash High wages, useless, can't wrestle, why keep him?
* Jimmy Rave (James Guffey)
* Relliʞ (John Hugger) I'd keep him, without Black Reign he has the potential to be someone if he gets some good feuds
* Rhino (Terry Gerin)
* Robert Roode
* Chris Sabin (Josh Harter)
* Samoa Joe (Nuufolau Joel Seanoa)
* Shark Boy (Dean Roll) Let the 3:16 gimmick wear off, then sack him
* Alex Shelley (Patrick Martin)
* Elix Skipper I'd keep him, every promotion needs a jobber and he's talented too
* Scott Steiner (Scott Rechsteiner) Can pull off the occasional good match but still is't needed

* Sting (Steve Borden) Could keep him for another 6 months-1 year to feud with the likes of Roode and Tomko before retiring
* James Storm (James Black)
* A.J. Styles (Allen Jones)
* Super Eric/Eric Young (Jeremy Fritz) I think he could be useful if he had a more serious gimmick but it's too lat now he's got fan favourite status with his current gimmick(s)
* Tomko (Travis Tomko)
* Petey Williams

to be honest i think they need a new brand. one show a week isnt enough to catiupulte them to superstardom like wwe. if you remember in 1998 wwe and wcw had one show each, then wwe got 2 shows and wcw lost ratings. i would put kurt on impact with kevin, sting, booker, and cage and on this new brand have it samoa, and maybe some new talent. i would place the Xdivison on the new brand.

Two brands is a terrible decision, they dont have enough guys to do two rosters. A second show yeah, but not two seperate rosters. TNA doing that is a huge mistake
