We've seen Raw go to three hours and it's been a disaster so far, but what if Impact went to 3 hours?

-There's enough faith in the TNA writers to competently book 3 hours of content
-More PPV hype
-More focus on the divisions, something that would let them stand out.
-They can start up some tag teams.
-They can add an extra feud or two, so guys like Samoa Joe won't be left off the show
-They can showcase more people like Magnus who don't get enough TV time.

I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to try out, while they'd look like Raw copycats, the fact that they'd put on a better show in those 3 hours could actually help the company. What do you guys think?

I think it'll be a good idea. Everything seems so crammed together right now, and I think an extra hour can fix that, and give something extra. Sure I'd say go for it, and who cares about the WWE related thing, if they were to inhale oxygen a WWE fan boy would say, "Hey they're breathing like WWE copycats!" So screw what they think.

I think it would be good for TNA as their shows are usually a little rushed but still amazing. I honestly don't care as long as they keep this product up.

The reason I like TNA, (I've only watched 2 episodes) Is because It's a nice time. It doesn't seem to drag on forever. I would prefer if they stuck to 2 hours.

If you could guarantee that the extra hour of Impact would be show-driving, rather than just recaps and extra ad revenue (I'm looking at you, Monday Night Raw), it could be worthwhile.

I don't think you'd know the Impact (get it?) until you do it and see what happens.
