Major Changes Coming to TNA?

We’ve posted a few news items about this in the past week but this story is really being talked about behind the scenes in TNA – so it deserves a closer look. Spike TV and TNA Wretling officials have had extensive talks in recent weeks about bringing sweeping changes to TNA. When we major changes – we’re talking everything – from the company name to the talent roster to the company’s entire identity.

Some have suggested that Dixie Carter’s mother Janice has stepped in and finally put her foot down regarding TNA’s lack of growth or direction. TNA has been spending millions and millions of dollars in recent years establishing the company as a “WWE lite” sports entertainment company. They’ve signed Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Mr. Anderson and plenty more WWE castoffs with little-to-no return on their money.It’s been suggested that TNA drastically cut its budget, release most of the expensive top-tier talent and run a promotion that focuses on younger, smaller performers – which would finally give the company an identity that’s completely different from WWE.

TNA changing its name has been suggested for years, but Dixie Carter has always been against it because they have spent so many years and so much money getting the TNA name out there. There has been talk about a new ad campaign that would put a heavy emphasis on the word “impact” .. Impact Wrestling Federation, anyone?

Take it for what you will........

TNA can change the name, and turn everything else over. But their main problem is BOOKING.........

Book the ? no matter who's on the roster and they'll be square.

With Bishoff running it that's what it will be, I'm almost certain if Cody Rhodes wasn't in the WWE he'd be in TNA and personally, that's a better spot for Cody. Dusty could get in w Bishoff to run TNA.

I watched tonight and compared it to the last RAW, TNA was better. The only story line right now that is ? is the "Beautiful People/Winter" story line, just stupid as ? . The rest of it is good and Lockdown has a really good line up. I just don't think Hogan and Bishoff need to be involved w the story lines, same with Flair. Just put them to run the show, not to participate.

TNA needs to stop looking like a imitation of WWE. Go back to their roots & let the wrestlers WRESTLE!

They really woulda been good being the "indy" promotion with a TV deal...but being ran by Hogan and Bischoff and pretty much everyone else that hates WWE makes it look like an imitation of WCW plus a WWE retirement home.

They should just establish themselves on a company that focuses on WRESTLING with a lower budget but still with a TV deal. I'd say keep a guy like STING around he's the closest person to the UNDERTAKER who actually is a recognizeable vet that cares about the industry.

TNA should know that they have the best talent roster use the guys and women to the best of their ability be different. Dixie is one stubborn ? .
