UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over:
Also I wouldn't say Hogan is a problem, I think he's actually the reason people tuned into TNA for that little while when they had momentum. Everytime he comes out the crowd goes crazy, dude is a wrestling icon, period. Bischoff needs to go heel ASAP. He's best at that, people love to hate him.
Geesta:
alll TNA needs to do is resurrect the Wolfpack so they can sell out to WWE and be the NWO again
but thats not likely to happen with Xpac sniffing coke off hookers tits and Scott Hall getting drunk everyday and Nash as tall as he is he gets hurt like a bitch
WWE>TNA
:-\
what do yall think Sting or Undertaker? as the wrestling icon?
UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over:
^Sting but because he's in TNA he seems like a lesser star but then again if he went to WWE he'd get buried just like the other WCW guys did. Fuck Vince's ego.
MontrealCity's Most:
Sting needs to go to WWE and feud with the Undertaker....

I said loyal fans, meaning people that will watch TNA over WWE no matter what. WCW had about 2 to 3 million of them. TNA doesn't even have a million. They get a million viewers on decent weeks but on bad weeks it dips.
They simply needed a stronger product before the decided to go head to head with Raw. All they have is second rate TV numbers and horrible PPV numbers. They have no house show or even the ability to tour for main shows. They need to first build a product that has at least a couple territories that can sell out arenas. WCW could sell out arenas. Not all over the country, but at least some. TNA fills up a studio for main events and I'm not even sure if the tickets cost anything. Take some programs on the road and see what can be mustered up. If they can do business in major markets, then they can sell that to the TV audience. A packed house of even 5000 thousand screaming fans looks a lot better than that studio. a PPV with 18,000 fans looks a lot better. I just don't think they have the draws to pull that off. If this were 2002 I'd say they could use Fair vs Hogan in a cage and sell out mid sized gates in Carolina, Toronto, or Montreal. I can't think of anyone in 2010 that could draw people in for TNA. Maybe Austin vs Hogan in Texas, maybe.
But none of that is the answer now. They need to build stars and create new markets to start doing business in, and they aren't even trying.
