Who should TNA be building around

[Montana]

TNA seems to be going in all different directions and every 3 months the main event scene gets a shake up. Who would you like to see TNA build around. WOuld you like to see them build around the younger home grown TNA guys, or the former WWE stars? Or a mix. Pick 4 wrestlers.

1) AJ Styles (The Franchise)

2) The Pope (Up in coming star)

3) Kurt Angle (The Vetern)

4) Desmond Wolfe (Up in coming star)

 

[The Small Show]

The people they should be building the company around are guys like MCMG, Desmond Wolfe, Magnus, AJ Styles, Douglas Williams, Pope, Kurt Angle, Mr. Anderson and Brian Kendrick.

It's clear that TNA just don't want to do this even though they constantly claim that they promote the young guys. This week on iMPACT, We saw Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Sting, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair get involved in the program in a physical nature. The attention is still on the old guys with the Xplosion show focusing more on the young guys. It would be fair to say Xplosion focuses more on the young guys but iMPACT certainly does not.

I agree with who Monty said to build around and even though I despise Anderson I feel he could be a buildable talent same with Jeff Hardy (who I honestly kind of like), but with Hardy's legal troubles I dont think it would be very smart to build around him.

I also feel the tag division as a whole should be a major point as well, MCMG/GenMe/Beer Money are all extremely talented teams and they could very well be a major part of TNA's future as well.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

1. Joe- Of all the fresh, unestablished mainstream talent TNA has ever pushed, Joe was by and far theone who got over most. But piss poor booking has ruined him. But he could easily be their top guy with decent booking as his rapport with the crowd is top notch and he is so intense and unique looking.

2. Desmond Wolfe- The WWE does well over seas because of building bases on foreign workerrs back in the 80-90s with the Bulldogs and Bret. Wolfe would and should be that guy for TNA. Plus he'd be an even more viable option as a top heel stateside.

3. Pope- He's black. He can get over. Every company needs a black, over guy.

4. Hernandez- The largest viewing audience is Latino. Hernandez is latino. SD! has been able to get decent ratings on a terrible day to run a wrestling program basically because Rey Mysterio brings with him that large latino crowd. Plus Hernandez has look and ability for a guy of his size. It's strictly business dollars to be had with him and Pope and Wolfe.

AJ won't make my list because he's had chances to be "the man" and has failed as bad as any washed up WWE hack that has shown up there. Angle won't make my list because he has basically exhausted every possible avenue that TNA can present him in and hasn't done anything to improve the company's bottom line. Hardy is just there to make a buck and wait for the heat to die down. Anderson is kind of old and injury prone. They can be pieces though.

 

[...god...]

Why pick just one guy? Building AROUND just one guy is kinda dumb. Could we see Joe beat the shit out of everyone and plummet to the top? Yeah, but they have too much talent for this. They NEED two shows (they already have the fucking air time, one is just a piece of shit called Reaction, what in the fuck?), everything would unfold perfectly if they had two shows, one with AJ Styles as the champion (the WORLD champion, not this TV title bullshit) surrounded by Fourtune and Flair. That show would be where all this Fourtune vs. EV2.0 clusterfuck goes down. It would also be the show primarily where the tag team wrestling was aired, since BEER MONEY is there (bring in Tomko/Albert too). The other show, Impact, would be where guys like Pope, Wolfe, Joe, Hernandez, Angle, Hardy, Anderson, and the Knockouts. Joe would be built up as a bad ass, steamroll all of Fourtune, culminating in AJ vs. Joe loser leaves *name of brand*. AJ somehow screws Joe, AJ wins, Joe goes to the other show with Pope as the top face champ, there you have an epic rivalry of Joe vs. Pope, face vs. face, crowd split. I think Anderson will reheel at BFG so him/Wolfe would make nicely for the top heels and Pope/Hernandez top faces along with Joe and wishful thinking says bringing back Daniels too. Personally, I say fuck the X-Division, because there's no way you're gonna convince me that people want that shitty title over the world title (unless you can convert it to 100% mid-card title which they've KINDA already done, so ok), so scrap that and have Douglas Williams, Magnus, Brian Kendrick, etc. on that show. Anyways, none of this will ever happen, it's just wishful thinking, just like hoping the "them" Abyss is referring to is actually Paul Heyman and James Mitchell! Hey man, it could happen. Oh, and Jim Cornette too! K, Cornette might seem kinda odd, but god damn, Heyman/Mitchell look like legit mad scientists so it'd make sense and be believable.

I've heard people say that Anderson could be TNAs rock or Stone Cold. His promos are golden and he is a pleasure to view in the ring.

As for scrapping the X Division, I hope TNA don't. The X Division is something TNA can push as "The highflying division" and they can get the audience from WWE who want to view those styles of matches. Wrestlers like Motor City Machine Guns and Brian Kendrick should be in that group but in all fairness, It TNA are going to have that division, HAVE AN X DIVISION MATCH EVERYWEEK! Give the title to someone who will focus on the X Division (Douglas was until Fortune came alone.. Completely ruined his awesome gimmick).

TNA do need to establish who is their top guys because at this moment, It appears that TNA have different main eventers every month and the previous months main eventers are pushed down (It was RVD/Sting a few months ago, then RVD/Abyss and where are those guys?). And also, please don't focus your promotion around Hernandez, TNA. I have never really been a fan of this guy (Except for his jump) and I doubt you'll get anymore fans solely for pushing him (If the latino fans are interested in him, They'll watch him anyway, regardless of what position he is on the roster).
