Everyone knows TNA bringing back the ECW brand as a whole for one ppv was dumb. You think it's ok for WWE to keep rehashing the screw job because they have a connection. With that logic, TNA has connection to the ECW brand. Tommy Dreamer, Taz, The Dudley's, Raven, Rhino, Steve Richards, Al Snow, Kurt Angle, and RVD were all apart of ECW. And that's just the guys they have signed right now. Jerry Lyn, Sabu, etc. have all worked for TNA at one point. That's their connection.
TNA Has No Where To Go But Forward

Creative, getting on the road, and trimming the fat on the roster are the top 3 that I see could help them at the moment.
It really comes down to how many new wrestling fan can TNA create? Fortunately for WCW, they accomplished gaining tons upon tons of new fan rather than just splitting the WWE audience. Does the general public care enough to invest in another wrestling promotion? Do they care enough to even give it a chance? Right now I would believe the answer is no but then again TNA could do a ton more to promote their product.

i agree kinda with both sides on here. wwe has the history and more loyal fans. tna is more entertaining IN MY OPINION. but they've gotta cut this WCW crap out... Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, The Nasty Boys, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Sting, Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, Jimmy Hart, The Sandman, Cactus Jack, Kurt Angle, Shark Boy look at all the former WCW guys tna has had since 2010 began.......... look at who they've had over the years, lex luger, randy savage, buschwhacker butch, booker t, the steiners, mike awesome, road warrior, curt hennig and many many more, they've gotta push the new younger talent and stop inviting the older ones even if they were great, maybe some of the older guys could be used for promotional purposes, managers or something else but we shouldn't see sting and nash fighting with hogan bischoff and jarrett..... its just kinda dum, tna needs their own thing, their own thing not being wcw or ecw.... when they find their thing i think they will be even more entertaining and popular then they are now.
Jeff Jarrett should always be in TNA. He was the founder of the promotion along with his daddy Jerry Jarrett. Ric Flair can be used as a manager. Sting is a good choice because of his huge fanbase. Mick Foley should be a writer. Kurt Angle is the best wrestler in the world.
WWE sells stories. TNA, tries, to sell wrestling. Back in the day ECW had a ton of great matches that they're fanbase loved, myself included, but you know what, it didn't sell the product because the mass public didn't know about it. Just like TNA. Nobody is crossing the line because nobody knows about it.
As am I as I watch Ring of Honor, PWG, SHIMMER, NOAH, AAA etc etc. I accept for WWE for what it is and I cringe with TNA as to what it could be.
WWE didn't just have some ECW wrestlers signed. WWE treated ECW as an adopted child in the late 90s. I don't know if you know this but ECW wrestlers were working with WWF stars in like 1997/8.

That's connection WWE/F has with ECW. This was during the MNW before the 2001 Invasion.
^^^^^^Abso-fucking-lutely!
....And, Lawer faced Dreamer IN ECW.
Heyman was on the WWE payroll years before ECW folded in 2000.
That's the laughable thing about the hoo-har from fans dissing the way WWE's ECW show portrayed the company between 2007-2010.... Like it or not, in a certain sense it WAS a developmental territory/feeder fed for the major leagues.
'The Only way is up'?
...Hur, hur, that ol' chesnut.
How about this potential scenario...
Spike pull their money out cos their relationship is largely fruitless and one or more of Dixie/Hogan/Bish/Russo run them out of business before the behind the scenes watershed/clearout (which hopefully) comes in January 2012 in preperation for the 'second coming'....?
