THE TNA IMPACT WRESTLING:BRING BACK "NO LIMITS"!!
Last night TNA scored its second lowest rating to date in 2012. The company attracted 0.86 rating according to PROWRESTLING.NET.
As a fan of pro wrestling, one thing I've noticed is that TNA needs to do better if it wants to grow:
Market it's product well
TNA doesn't announce matches until the start of the show. TNA should at least use Twitter to promote it's matches. That might get fans interested. There are no billboards or commercials that air for TNA programming or merchandise except during the show. TNA needs to start doing more to try and get the word out.
TNA does not have any real bad guys
Most of TNA's villains like Bobby Roode, Magnus, Zema Ion, and others are not always featured regularly and their motivations for being a bad guy aren't clearly explained. Bobby Roode seemed to turn evil on a whim and became the promotion's World Champion. Zema Ion is a bad guy because he (legitimately) injured Jesse Sorenson. People don't dislike Zema Ion because of this, they dislike him because he's annoying and they don't care about him.
Put the titles on wrestlers the fans care about
ZEMA ION
Zema Ion is the current X-Division champion and he won it in less than a year. The problem with that is that fans do not care about Zema Ion much, because TNA hasn't taken the time to introduce his character. As a cocky heel he should be having feuds with guys like Mr. Anderson and RVD just so that the fans can understand more about his character.
Guys who have been around a while like Magnus, Matt Morgan, and Bobby Roode who have been in TNA for a while and have a connection to the fan should have the title. They bring more prestige to it.
NO LIMITS
The slogan for the X-DIVISION was once, "No Limits" This slogan should be used for all of TNA. There should be no weight limits in the TV, X-DIVISION or WORLD Heavyweight title matches. The only requirement would be, "Can you have an entertaining match? "
This could open the flood gates to new ideas and new matches. Wrestlers like Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio,CM PUNK, and AJ Styles have changed the business and shown that smaller wrestlers can hang in there with the big guys. TNA should reflect that.
IF TNA wants better ratings then they need to go back to some "old school' ways to make their product better or are they just a sinking ship?
CLASS DISMISSED
