Lately I have been discussing TNA with a lot of you. I REALLY enjoy the product and as a wrestling fan I want wrestling so TNA renewed my interest in wrestling that the WWE had almost kill.
With that said, like many I find the marks in the front row annoyins the best example being as many of you know the night where they chanted for ECW just to chant moment later for Fourtune as they were ambushing them from behind. Sure Fourtune is composed of some of the best TNA orginals but still their act was heelish.
I personally think that TNA needs a couple of REAL heel if they want people to be more invested in their product in the long run that way people want to see the major face kick his ass and the program sells good. Sure in my argument some people pointed to me that the Undertaker vs HBK matches sold a lot even if they were both faces but that's because they are both legend too.
With that said I know that TNA is more adult oriented and a federation followed by mark like myselves who enjoy wrestling more than the storyline but a good storyline never hurt my interest either. I also know that you can't have a heel calling the faces Piggy James or have a heel who is stealing from the cookie jar in TNA.
But I think it could still be possible to work TNA fans in a way that would make them hate an individual. One of my idea (and some of you may have heard me talk about it... well write) is that Fourtune with Flair could say that they have abandon all hope in TNA and that this place is a dump and he should have never come in the federation, that he has a contract and divorce to pay so he is still there honoring his contract but when his jail sentence his up he is out and going back to Connecticut and he is bringing his boy with him in a REAL federation where they will get the exposure they deserve.
I think that could be a good way to have them become big heel by attacking the product and federation that we like and eventually with real heel you could get a product that would be followed by non mark. To me it's just logic that you need a big heel to put more importance on your face. Like if the next Batman movie is Batman fighting low life thug with no big vilain I doubt it will be a success if you get what I mean.
But I know that it's hard to get the mark to play the way you want them to play (boo bad guy and cheer for face) but I still think they need to find a way to make it happen. Or they could have a wrestler who is keeping his in ring work limited on purpose so that people who want to see good wrestling would hate him?
So do you think that TNA NEEDS REAL heel?
And if so how would you make a big heel (Without having him being bisexual and uninteresting)?
