Seven Steps TNA Should Take To Improve The Current Product

A little more than a month ago, I wrote an article stating seven steps that WWE should take to improve their current product. After seeing the state TNA has been in, I decided that they are in heavy need of something similar. (Now if only Dixie could see this list).

A majority of TNA fans have refused to believe that TNA is rapidly decaying before their eyes. Their hatred of the WWE and complete and utter devotion to TNA has made them blind to the truth: That their own TNA is currently no better, and in fact can't hold a candle to WWE right now, in terms of storylines at least, I will admit that the wrestling is still much better.

Now let us take a look at some of the ways TNA could make their product better and in turn attract more fans.

1) Break up the Factions

Right now there are so many Factions in TNA; it makes one's head spin. Sometimes a faction war could be interesting, but right now in TNA, it is just overkill. There is one faction in particular that needs to be broken up, that being the Main Event Mafia.

The Main Event Mafia is a parasite to TNA right now, even if some TNA fans refuse to see that, believing them to be the saving grace of TNA. I believe I know what TNA was trying to aim for, and that was not their own NWO, but their own form of the 4 horsemen.

However there are so many key differences between the two groups I would have to write a whole separate article just to discuss them all!

The Main Event Mafia also is an epic failure in terms of drawing boos like they are supposed to as heels. For some odd reason fans won't stop cheering them! This makes it very difficult for the faction that is supposed to be opposing them, The TNA originals, that is the TNA originals still exists, to connect with the fans and draw their cheers.

2) New Creative

TNA has begun in a way to start this step as they have fired two of their creative team including Dutch Mantel.....

Now whose dumb idea was that!? If a new creative team is being assembled Dutch should have remained a part of it. Dutch is the creator of the Knockout's division which resulted in an actual interest in woman's wrestling in the USA! He was probably the finest member of the TNA creative department.

Now to resurrect an old chant that I personally love, FIRE RUSSO! Dixie hired Russo personally (many seem to be under the misconception that it was Jarrett that did so) to be a part of the creative department in what I will say was one of the most un-wise moves the company has made.

She hired him under the note that he was well-known for his controversial booking, now if the definition of controversial was terrible that statement would be accurate.

Russo is a not that good of a booker. It was under his time as head booker that WCW went into the ground; something I will admit has made me bitter and highly critical of him.
