What is the next step for them to take to continue to grow and develop as a company? They've made some drastic changes recently in reducing the number of PPVs, going on the road and going live every other week. These are all things many smarks had called for them to do. Considering these steps in the right direction, what do you think it is they need to do next?

Should they increase weekly programming, adding another show at some point in the week? Is Spike the right network for them, perhaps another channel could help the company grow? Is TNA one superstar away from exploding *hint* Steen.

Share your ideas.

I always used to think the reason they never got huge was because they were on Spike TV. But it's really just the lack of promotions. They have the best WRESTLERS in the world and they are being showcased to a wrestling audience filled with smarks. Some Jeff Hardy fans don't even know that he's in TNA, heck they don't even know he's on TV weekly.

They need to hire a man who can promote their company to a point where it's literally on WWE's radar. They have Hulk Hogan, Sting, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle and still many fans from the WWE/WCW don't even realize what TNA is. If they promote it, have a huge celebrity have a match or become the special enforcer at Bound For Glory, they can get so much media attention.

That's the only thing preventing them to getting to the next level.
Going on the road is good news, but only TNA fans realize they are in town. They need to make it so the whole city knows they are in town, run ads on different channels saying:

Impact Wrestling LIVE: Catch the "Immortal" Hulk Hogan, "The Charismatic Enigma", Jeff Hardy and the best wrestlers in the world live this Thursday at the Staple's Centre. Tickets available now on (Website) or call 1-800-Impact

They need someone to fucking promote the product, that's it.

I was going to say increase advertising but I think we all agree they need to do that.

They've pretty much everything they can.

- On the Road
- LIVE Impact
- Best Wrestler's In the World (Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and More)
- Star Power ( Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, Sting, Kurt Angle and Possibly Mr. Anderson)

All they need is an advertising team to showcase the product.
