???TNA???

I have read a lot of negative things lately about TNA wrestling.  A lot of fans seem to not like their product and it does seem like they are having some problems.  However, I really do enjoy TNA programming.  They have a lot of talent on their roster and with a few slight changes I think they could make things a lot better for themselves.  There are a lot of places they can go with the AJ Styles and Dixie Carter angle.  I can't help but see the similarities between this and what WWE did with CM Punk though.  However, wrestling story-lines are always going to have some similarities.  I do think that TNA has some work to do in order to get some of the fans that they have lost back.  They need to bring focus back to the X-Division which they seem to be trying to do with the match between Jeff Hardy and Manic.  They need to eliminate or drastically change the Aces and Eights angle.  This could be something great but it needs to go in a new direction and without Bully Ray.  What made the NWO so great was that after a while fans started to like them and this simply isn't happening with the Aces and Eights, but it could with an overhaul.  As much as I hate to say it they should also eliminate or change the Main Event Mafia.  It just sort of seems like they are kinda just trying to find something for them to do now.  I think the Styles and Carter angle is a great direction and it will overshadow any other big story-lines so why not make some changes while the focus is on that story-line.  They should also bring back some guys that will bring them back some fans.  Guys like Abyss ( yes I know that we have the man but we need him in this character), and some of the others especially guys from the X Division.  They should do away with MMA Talent unless they are going to make the transition from MMA to TNA fully not just be around for a little while.  They should also start putting more marketing on their "free pay-per-view events."  They need to make fans feel like they are getting something special without paying for it and with the way they are doing it now it does not feel that way.  They should also look at their roster and find some ways to get wrestlers that the fans want to see in some sort of story-line.  Someone that comes to mind is Austin Aries.  He is a good talent and they seem to just be doing nothing with him.  Once again I am a wrestling fan and I watch both WWE and TNA.  Let's face it WWE does not do everything right either and there are always going to be things that as fans we would rather see, but I think with some work that TNA could really go to the next level and be something special.  These are just my thoughts.
