Should Bound for Glory Aim Higher?

[Charismatic Edge]

I suppose the real question is, does TNA want BFG to be Starrcade or Wrestlemania? Well, that's not right either because nothing will be like mania. Ok, try again, should they try to have BFG in a larger venue?

I'm not talking about a huge dome. Maybe something like the RBC center. The capacity is about 20,000. I think this year they have enough talent to make it a must see event. Headline it with Styles vs. RVD vs. Hardy and you may have TNA's biggest ppv ever.

they can barely fill a convention center let alone a huge arena at this point (which is sad really). They need to fix their storylines and improve their booking. Combine that with increasing their advertising and everything else will fall into place.

I think TNA just needs to go all out and put on a awesome show, which i feel they've done the in past. As the company grows....BFG will continue to grow. The more it grows the more entertainment and starpower it will/should have.

That's why I threw out that main event possibly. Jeff Hardy is still a major draw and paired with AJ and RVD, I think they could do it.

^^^But with that main event, it needs the proper advertising behind it. TNA doesn't do anything right in regards to selling itself. It never advertises outside of Spike, it's workers never do any PR work and so forth. I mean, would it be that hard for Hogan, doing a Rent-a-Center commercial, to be like "Brotha, you can watch TNA Impact on this brand new 56 in HD tv brotha!" or something like that? I've covered this before.

Then there is the booking. It's just awful. They've lost ground ever since the Jan. 4th show, not because they've ran out of surprises, but the booking is awful and the show comes off as bush. And the most glaring effect of the booking is the loss of a sizable portion of the viewers every main event on Impact. Before they can even dream of selling a measly 10,000 PPVs and filling up a 10,000 seat venue, they need to scrap tje junk in the creative department.

You can have all the talent in the world and put together a match that looks super sweet on paper, but if there's no advertising it, and more importantly, no reason for the fans to care about it, no one's going to watch it or pay to see it.

^^^That's pretty fair. I'll agree that the Jan 4 Impact was the peak. Since then they have struggled find a formula that works for the whole show. Watching Eric Bischoff "play" guitar to open a WRESTLING show is weak.

That's about the best main even I can think of. Maybe if they change champions you could go with Angle vs. Hardy or if Lashley hung around Angle/Lashley would've been this year's main event.
