What can TNA do to generate some buzz?

[Snowman1]

TNA has some great things going on. BFG Series, the KO's division is wonderful, Destination X starring Bully Ray vs Chris Sabin is next week, they just had the shocking Aries reveal, but still TNA feels like it just has no buzz (and hasn't for most of the year). What are things TNA can do to change that and bring their company back to the glory days of last year?

Granted it may be really hard for TNA to generate any buzz with RAW being great recently + the wrestling world revolving around Daniel Bryan... but there's gotta be some things they can do to try.

Just sign big name Indie talents I guess. Not much I can think of at the moment

 

[Farooq]

Fire Hogan and use the money to buy some more talent. I see with all the releases, they should be able to afford some big names, or at least some decent ones right now.

The knockouts division is great? Could you really say that if you removed Gail Kim and Taryn? Which would leave a total of ODB, Tessmacher MIA, Velvet and Mickie. Seems rather that two women are pulling of great matches.

Fire Hogan and let Jarret take back the controlling shares of TNA so he can do his thing.

Said that because there's so much buzz around it, with Gail and Taryn having amazing matches + Mickie's character. Those things have been phenomenal. Otherwise you're right.

Imo, everyone else should just get cut and replaced with different women... well, maybe keep Tessmacher because she's done so much to improve in the ring.
They obviously have nothing for ODB, Velvet's just a less talented Taryn. Just wonder if they can afford to hire anyone else with all this other stuff going on.

That's what I am wondering. Everyone says they should sign X or Y. But with all these releases that reportedly are to "save money" to keep being on the road, who can they sign that wouldn't be too big an investment?

Audrey Marie would make a great knockout imo.

Don't know the financials of TNA or the indies, but I'm sure they can sign some girls from the independent scene that offer much more than the women currently on the roster. They can't "sign a whole bunch of girls" but surely they can replace a Tara with someone from Shine who has a lot of potential and comes cheaper.

As for everyone else... I don't know if "bringing people in" is the right thing to do. Yeah you may want to add some new guys to keep things fresh, but there are enough challengers for almost every title (assuming they can keep up some pay-per-appearance deals with guys like Rubix, and if they want to add some new tag teams that's more than welcome) and enough people to keep feuds interesting, so everything's okay at the moment, and it's not like bringing in big-name talent is giving them anything anyway business-wise.

Chuck Taylor > Chavo.

I think TNA should get back to the Impact Zone and only move for PPVs. If they need to release great superstars to keep on the road, it doesn't make TNA better. The viewers want to see their favorite stars and if they're released they may not even watch the show even if it's amazing.

They have to put the Hulkster back in the ring brother. :hogan:

The Hulkster against Sting could be a good match imo. Don't know why the don't do it :upset:

 

[Swift]

Brooke Hogan murder storyline.

 

[Captain Charisma]

Go back to your real style. Young talents, great in ring competition (Still have but X Division was better before).

 

[Testify]

Live sex of Hulk and Brooke.
