Pre-Show Stalwart
In TNA with basically a two hour show to promote their company, how many feuds or ongoing storylines should there be at any given time? Realistically, how many can you put focus into so that your Pay Per View is an interesting and engaging event?
Clearly, you need something revolving around each belt:
World
TV
X-Division
Tag
Women's
How many more do you need, want, or have the ability to sustain?
Personally, I think a total of 8 feuds is the right number. In addition to the 5 listed above, I would like to see two individual feuds and 1 additional tag team feud.
In my mind this would lead to a number 1 contender's feud...I wouldn't actually always call it a number 1 contenders feud, but a feud to set up the next contender for the World title. Same goes for the Tag feud. Give a team a push and let them get a little momentum before challenging for the titles. The final feud could then be a little more flexible. Here you could have a contender's match for xdiv or tv. It could also be a grudge match like Angle and Jarrett are in currently. This is where you could also put guys like Morgan who need to stay in the limelight, but don't have a title program.
However, I think TNA needs to use the TV title in the manner it was intended. Right now its on Abyss. It should be on Morgan, Joe, Pope, Wolfe, or even God forbid Matt Hardy. It would give a little more prestige to the feuds they are involved in.
Look at the last pay per view. Really only 1 belt was being involved in an actual feud. Kaz was a late addition, the tag titles weren't on the line, and the TV title is nowhere to be found. Chasing a title always is a solid storyline. You can also make personal feuds tied to the belt.
Also, if you need more folks involved you can always make a 4-way, triple threat, battle royal type of match.
What do you think is a good number? How would you focus the feuds? Could you add a feud on xplosion or on the web?
