Major TNA Changes Coming

[Ben]

PWTorch learned last week there are internal discussions at a high level in TNA about considering re-branding the company or taking a different approach to the product.

Even a change to the company's name is "at least being considered" during this round of discussions aimed at giving TNA's product a recognizable identity.

As ratings have trended downward long-term and short-term, notably the males 18-34 demographic for last Thursday's show hitting a one-year low, there have been talks about taking a new approach to the product to make it "clearly different" from WWE.

Any proposed changes are currently at the discussion stage, but some major changes could be coming sooner rather than later if the talks turn into action.

Another element of this story is the Spike TV aspect. Initial ratings for the new season of UFC's Ultimate Fighter have been below average despite Brock Lesnar starring as one of the coaches. TNA's decline in key demo ratings, along with UFC's disappointing ratings, could prompt Spike TV to make changes or push TNA to make changes. The downward trends are not going unnoticed.

This is something that has been reported before, and usually nothing happens. At this point though the product is at a all time low, there no growth and really there just spinning around going nowhere fast.

Wouldn't be opposed to them completly blowing it up creatively and with who is in charge in the top. Brand new creative team, and Dixie not making any decisions that have to do with talent signings ect would be a great way to get it going. Don't think a name change is needed, but doing what I mentioned above and then focusing more on wrestling would be the way to make them different from the WWE. No guarantee it would work, but what there doing now isn't either, so where the loss.

A name change is needed. TPH - Two Promo Hours.

Rebranding could be the catalyst for TNA turning a corner and starting to make inroads, leading to the 'E lifting their game

This is probably bs again.
