TNA getting 2 hours to work with is a piece of the puzzle,They need better booking,Better storylines/feuds(which falls under better booking),etc
They should stop using gimmick matches like they do too, don't get me wrong I love gimmick matches but when you see them week after week you lose interest and you really don't care for them anymore.Another thing is the fact that every 'big' match usually has interference(ala Kurt Angle vs. Sting) and then the match ends on dq.
Two hours will help TNA but it won't fix everything.

(((((((((((((((((((((( Well Extremebadass and Montana both say with an additional hour all we would get is the trash of TNA, while the good is cramed into one hour. But if there was two hours they could showcase there main event talent more then they can now meaning in actual matches, more promos, longer matches meaning the X divis. matches will be better, and create better fueds instead of sticknig in matches at the last second. 2 hours of wrestling once a week with monthly PPV's would be good for them. It wouldnt rise ratings drastically right away but the ratings would definetly rise progressively. 2hours wouldnt solve all their problems, but it would certainly help. And I think PPV buyrates would only get better as they would have more intense and interesting fueds and build up...of course they would need the ideas for this to work out.
What are some of you smoking...Poor Chris Harris is greatness and i feel u guys are way off the ball labeling him as a pirate. He could be one of the fastest rising heavyweights in TNA. He's an exciting singles competitor to watch as is James Storm. Those two would be fantastic on a two hour show.
Sonjay Dutt as well as the entire X division would benefit greatly because the matches would be long enough to pace and out and digest instead of rushed spot fests.
Granted, a 2 hour show wouldn't be the entire answer. Some of the gimmicks need to be scrapped, like Seretonin. But anyone who has seen a two hour TNA special (not the highlight special) knows that those shows featured the perfect balance of wrestling and storyline.

2 hours would definetly be a big help to TNA but it inst the answer to all the problems obviously. There one two hour episode to celebrate there new time slot was great. Now they have great storylines going, hopefull Cage vs Joe and Sting vs Angle happens after Sacrifice, with every other fued staying the same (Styles vs Lynn to be added as a fued). There two hour shows would be great and they could focus on the fueds they have without rushing into things for the PPVs, it would definetly help there on screen product. Which translates into some of the backstage production like morale and financial.
the only drawback from having a two hour show would be that the three hour ppv would have to top the action. i don't think a two hour show would provide all the answers tna is looking for. but with two hours to work with, the show won't seem as rushed as it is. characters can be developed, matches will be longer and bettter paced. i think tna could put on a great television with two hours. look at their two hour spike tv specials or the old wednesday night ppvs for proof.
for the person who said ecw has a better structure with one hour than tna does...you have to remember that ecw is not a company run on one hour of television per week. ecw storylines often spill over into raw and smackdown television, thus you don't have to get as many people over within a one hour time frame. the show does have a better pace than tna does at the moment, only because tna has to fit their whole company into one hour.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Police are crediting an alert neighbor with saving a 6-year-old girl from a man who snatched her and shoved her into a van as she walked home from a neighbor's house where she had been sent to pick up tostadas.
A pair of 911 calls came in to police Monday afternoon, including one from the wife of the neighbor and a breathless call from the girl's 12-year-old sister.
"My little sister is missing," she told the operator, who was having trouble hearing her. "My little sister, she's missing. My little sister."
Her voice pitched with worry, she told police that her mother had gone out to look for her sister.
"She went to go to the neighbor's and on her way back we don't know what happened to her. ... When she was coming back or on her way, she just like disappeared," the girl said of her little sister.
A neighbor, Antonio Diaz Chacon, heard commotion and saw the abduction just before 5 p.m. Monday. Police said he hopped in his car and chased the van and the van's driver tried to lose Chacon but crashed into a light pole.
Chacon rescued the girl while the suspect, whom police identified as Phillip Garcia, ran away. After Chacon left with the girl, the suspect returned to the van and took off but was later apprehended by police.
Hidden under a rock just 25 feet from where the kidnapper crashed his van, officers found packing tape and tie-down strap. Inside the impounded van were tostadas, a glove, a Leatherman tool, a black satchel, orange strapping similar to the strap found hidden under the rock, police said.
"This little girl was very lucky," said Albuquerque police Sgt. Tricia Hoffman. "If it wasn't for him, this could have been very bad."
"It appeared his intentions were not good," Hoffman said.
Garcia was charged with kidnapping, child abuse and tampering with evidence.
The girl was grabbed with such force that bruising had already begun to appear on her chest and back Monday evening, police said. The girl told police the man put his hand over her mouth and she bit him.
She said the man shoved her on the floorboard to keep her head under the window view, according to the police report. She told police there were not backseats in the van and described other details consistent with impounded van, police said.
She also expressed concern about not being able to bring the tostadas home.
Hoffman said Garcia is from Albuquerque but she was unsure if he had a criminal record. She said there have not been any other recent child abductions or attempted abductions in the city.
