If you owned TNA for day

i would make a deal with Vince and make tna wwes third brand and have the tna guys bring their belts and i would push aj styles against sheamus and take his title then i would fire Michael Cole and say i was the anonymous gm so that i get heat then i have the tna guys choose what roster they wanna be in and have great ass matches and tna would be no more but another wwe program
 
I'd Try to have a balance product ... Something for everyone.
Make the best matches for both Talent & Fans.
Elevate young talent while still embracing veterans.
Have angles that had interesting thought provoking scenarios ... and were logical.
I would included wide range of styles.
Make each championship & division mean something.
And would forget that the fans make the promotion ... not the other way around.

But hey this is rough idea of what I would do.
 
i would make a deal with vince and have a monday night war kinda thing. have wwe come interfere with tna and vice versa. then at survivor series id have abyss,mcmg, styles and samoa joe vs cena, hhh, orton, taker, and mysterio in a traditional style match. also have madison rayne vs melina. just have a battle of the companys ppv
 
Not that the thread title really makes any sense (owning it for a day implies somebody with new ideas will come in the next day, but I don't mind).

Anyway, here are a list of things I would do (lets take the 24 hour thing out of it - makes no sense).

1. Work on getting TNA PPV's out of the impact zone -I honestly think this is Dixie's big change coming up. She talks about "limited budgets" so I think it's a move to get all TNA PPV's out of the Impact zone. I think initially I would try and keep all TNA PPV's in Florida but at bigger locations, and occasionally move further a field.

2. Tear out the people in power - Russo, Hogan, Bischoff anyone else who had anything to do with bringing down WCW.

3. Appoint a head booker - Paul Heyman, easy enough, give the guy what he wants, but ensure that he has a budget. Also approach Jim Ross and Joey Styles about joining the company.

4. Trim the fat - So many wrestlers in TNA. I want to make TNA a tight ship. I strip the roster down to a skeleton level which cuts payments out and gives us time to seek out new talent. Here is a list of who I would keep (it's a hell of a lot shorter than the talent I would get rid of). I've got rid of the expensive wrestlers, as I think we can at the very least maintain the ratings we have, even with intially such a small roster :

- Kurt Angle (also give him a spot on creative)
- AJ Styles
- Mr Anderson
- The Pope
- Samoa Joe
- All members of Fortune (not including Ric Flair)
- MCMG, Gen ME
- Tara, Angelina Love, Madison Reign, Velvet Sky
- Jay Lethal, Magnus, Desmonde Wolfe, Doug Williams
- The X-Division guys (Amazing Red, Kendrick etc..)

5. New Signings - Approach Christopher Daniels and Awesome Kong about resiging, and look at bringing in Mickie James.

Also begin extensive scouting of independent scene's for fresh new talent.

6. New commentary team - Put Mick Foley in as colour commentator, then offer either Styles or Ross the play-by-play (both are bought in to work behind the scenes mainly).
 
I would get rid of EV2 and let the guys that have been there and been loyal to TNA shine.

Rebuild the X division it has has gone down majorly lately. In my opinion the X division is what made TNA exciting to watch back in the day.

Get rid of Hogan and Bischoff they don't draw ratings anymore. Since they arrived TNA has gone down hill in my opinion.

Get a new head writer Russo needs to go.

Keep RVD away from the main event. I think it's obvious he's nowhere near as big a draw as he thinks he is.

Keep the old guys especially Flair out of the ring.
 
If I owned TNA i would fire Jeff Jarret, Dixie Carter, Annoying Jeremy ButtRash, Mike Tenay. I would make Eric Bishoff the sole owner of TNA I would have the top Mexican,chinese,european wrestlers invade TNA. I tna's problem is they have to always bring in well known faces, I think an invasion of never before seen wrestlers could be kool. then I would hire rosey lotta love and have her give me a naked back message while I smother her in chocolate and eat the peanut butter off her butt. ok then I would have AJ Styles Top Champ in TNA. I would break up beer money have Roode go solo and become TV champ. I would hire Batista and goldberg have them face off. I would change pope into a heel and drop the pimpin act he can have the same image just a little more serious. Id have Hernandez Vs. Abyss and Rob Terry Vs Morgan. then I think id just fire orlando jordan unless he stops acting like a Fairy. this would be EPIC
 
I would completely overhaul management and get guys who actually know about wrestling. I would instead of having writers I would have bookers and give Paul Heymen all the power he could want. I would also let wrestlers help contribute to characters.

I wouldn't sign every person who used to work in WWE unless they were an absolutely a necessary piece of the company. I wouldn't sign guy like RVD and Jeff Hardy to huge contracts unless I knew they would significantly help the product.

I would trim the unneeded fat who haven't added to the product in a significant. Hogan who hasn't brought in any viewers would be gone. I would keep Bischoff simply in a non-televised role, mostly as a producer. I would bring in someone to be an editor for Russo, if he doesn't like that, I would easily show him the door. E.V. 2.0 would all be gone, but I would offer Dreamer and Raven spots on the creative team.

I would bring Jim Cornette back as the head writer and try to have Cornette and Heymen run the creative side of the company.

The X-Division would be pushed to the moon and be featured every week. All matches would have to have a minimum match length of eight minutes and all main-event segments would start at 10:45 PM and there will be no more 3 minute main events.

I would have only a few pay-per-views each year. Bound for Glory and Slammiversery are the only ones that truly pop into my head, but I would run Clash of the Champions-type supercards to replace the pay-per-views. These would happen every other month and I would try to get a three hour time slot and have actual matches not the four minute crap the Whole F'n Show gave us.

I would drop the Knockouts Title and Television Title as they are useless. If there is a feud that isn't a championship feud it would be given just as much TV time for the fans to care.

I would try to get a working relationship with Japanese, Mexican and European promotions to show fans great match ups. If I could I would also try to get an exchange program with Ring of Honor and SHIMMER.

The feuds will be based around wrestling and the matches would tell the stories. There will be a clear definition of whose a heel and face.
 
First thing i would do is have Hulk Hogan as an on screen boss with Eric Bischoff and have them feud with Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley who are also still somehow the bosses and have them 4 run the company together with one side as heels and the others as faces. BUT the key thing i would do is simple. Sarita is doing nothing, so have her join Madison and Tara vs. Lacey, Velvet and Angelina. Keep up the good work for the Tag Teams here, push good young tag teams, maybe form other tag teams. I would END the time limit matches, especially when they count down. End it with Nash, keep Sting, Get rid of EV2, not entertaining anymore, have AJ Styles defend the TV title to different guys like Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy, etc. And last, but not least, do NOT have a Kurt Angle retirement match, first off, if we know for sure Kurt's not leaving then we likely know who wins the title. 2nd, i am not a fan of giving away who wins a match. While i can see Hardy and Anderson winning the TNA title, i cant see Kurt retiring if he's still got a contract and is healthy and doesnt want to leave and oh yeah, keep up with this new Abyss and NEVER have him lose to Stevie Richards again.
 
To all those saying you would sell TNA to WWE because Vince would be able to run it better, lets see what did he do with WCW other than nothing. Lets face it if you don't get discovered by Vince and his scouts its rare he will give you a push if you ever do go over to WWE. However EV2.0 would be gone, jarrett would be sent packing, I'd let Nash know he is never to appear on t.v. again without dying his hair. I would then make it a requirement for the beautiful people to spend the night with me. And we all know why. However before that I would put all my effort in to acquiring Jericho and CM Punk for the future of the company.
 
The immediate removal of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Kevin Nash. Understanding that Jeff Hardy probably isn't a permanent figure within TNA, give the TNA Heavyweight title to Mr. Kenne.... Anderson. Eliminate EV2.0, I've seen enough of the ECW Originals, except Sabu and Stevie Richards. Kane, I mean "Abyss," is a great performer, he deserves to be higher on the food-chain than he is. At this point in his career, Sting needs to begin putting newer talent over. His stature will cement the future of young talent. Kevin Nash can pack his bags, and limp is talentless body out of the wrestling world forever. He's too arrogant, and thinks that he's the "beez kneez" in the world of wrestling. Eric Bischoff.... Can stay forever, and give him more control. He's the sh*t, and can make TNA a more realistic competition for WWE, given enough time....
 
If I owned TNA for a day, the first thing I would do is hire Velvet Sky to be my personal executive assistant, and I would ensure that we had a lengthy one-on-one meeting in private to both begin and end the day.

I would get rid of all of the old guys, the guys who are no longer physically able to go, guys who are surviving on their legacies from other places and other times to attempt to stay relevant in 2010. The entire EV2.0 faction would disappear, with the exception of Tommy Dreamer who I would keep employed but strictly in a backstage, non-wrestling, mentoring sort of role. Fourtune, same thing, substitute Flair's name for Dreamer, otherwise identical thought process.

Hogan and Bischoff would remain but would be scaled back dramatically to completely backstage roles. They would certainly never ever compete, nor would Foley or Jarrett or Nash. I would trim the fat of all guys who serve no purpose, especially shock TV guys like OJ.

I would start the ball rolling on an immediate face turn by AJ Styles and make him a face champion in the very near future for an extended run. He'd become my John Cena. I'd push the tag team division to the moon, with such guys as MCMG, Beer Money Inc., GenMe, London Brawling (but not Team 3D, they'd be agents backstage only). I'd attempt to repair the damage to the knockouts division, although I fear this has been damaged beyond repair.

Finally, I'd take Dixie Carter's laptop and smash it into a million pieces. I'd deactivate her twitter account and put a muzzle on her as large as I could find. She'd be nowhere near the ring, neither inside it nor even at ringside. Because her continued false promises and surprises that she doesn't even attempt to deliver upon will be the ultimate undoing of TNA if it continues.

And then, back to Velvet :)
 
first i would buy roh vacate all the titiles and have a tournament on a 3 hour live impact for them with the finals being held at the next ppv. then everybody over 40 with the exception of flair would either be fired or used to put over the younger talent flair will just be used as the mouth piece of fortune give paul heyman what ever the hell he wants and either buy or get a recording studio and redo all of the wrestlers intrance themes because like somebody said earlier the theme is also part of the wrestler and i would bring back the 6 sided ring and do any and everything i can get away with on live t.v.
 
Selling it to Vince would be one of the funniest things to do, and was also one of the first things I thought of...

What I would do is hire myself to a full time position with the company, with a stipulation in it that states I could never be fired. Then I would fire everyone else that holds a position of power and GIVE the company to Paul Heyman.

I would give Heyman his second chance at battling with WWE. I would give him full control and let him run wild. I think he would do a lot of things differently this time around, and who knows what might happen with Paul Heyman, Talent, and a cable time slot!!??
 
I'd repeatedly put on shitty wrestling with no storyline sense and let ev2 hog the spotlight and put ex wwe stars in the ME oh wait thats already been done sorry i dont have anything else except have a meeting with rayne then wilde then hemme then sky then all the other hot divas which names have lost me
 
Deception plan (The Bond Begins)
(A slowly built storyline with many surprises to keep viewers entertained and talking each week.)
While everyone is busy thinking of the whole who is going to be chosen to join Fortune, a big swerve would be brewing.
Matt Morgan would interfere in the MMG versus Beer Money match, helping Beer Money win the Tag Titles. Beer Money would interfere in the Desmond Wolfe versus Rob Terry Match, helping Wolf to win the Global championship.
In the main event Beer Money and Desmond Wolfe would distract the ref while Matt Morgan would hit RVD with the title belt to become the TNA World Heavyweight champion.
Morgan, Wolf and Beer Money would then declare themselves as The Unbreakable Bond.
Next Impact, the shows starts off in disarray as various wrestlers are left beaten and laid out in the back.
First match starts and Unbreakable Bond come out to the ring and lays out everyone...
TNA World Heavyweight champion Matt Morgan, TNA Global Champion Desmond Wolf and TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money declare themselves the most feared, best dress and most talented force in the history of wrestling.
Eric Bischoff comes out and says he can't find Hogan and that he felt that the members of The Unbreakable Bond had something to do with it.
Eric Bischoff makes the main event match RVD vs. Morgan. Morgan wins match with the help of Ric Flair who claimed he orchestrated the whole thing. TNA Impact would consist of the complete domination by RUB who would by the end of the night become 'surprise' Fortune, when surprisingly; Ric Flair would help Matt Morgan win his match versus RVD.
The Pope would declare that he cares only about the congregation and he don't trust anyone in the back after what transpired at the last PPV.
It would be speculated that Fortune abducted Hogan when Eric finds a shirt on Hogan's desk with the writings Xcellence.
Next Impact Sonjay Dutt shows up in the crowd during a Jay Lethal match and is noticeably wearing an Xccellent T-shirt. Later in the night he is joined in the crowd by Matt Bentley who is wearing a similar T-shirt.
The Bischoff and the commentators are wondering what the hell is going on so there
Send Borash to try to interview Dutt and Bentley but they just walk away from him.
Fortune celebrates their union but is interrupted by Jeff Hardy and RVD.
This sets up the main event where Fortune destroys them.
Next week big speculation that either Fortune or Sonjay Dutt and Matt Bentley abducted Hogan.
Later in the night Jay Lethal is surprisingly attacked by Petey Williams who just happens to be wearing an Xccellence T-shirt, Dutt and Bentley jump the barricades and join in on the attack on Jay Lethal.
Six weeks later Fortune still dominates TNA.
Impact starts with Ric, Morgan, Wolf and Beer Money coming to the ring, recap shows how they beat up The Pope during a match he had with Mr Anderson.
Before they could talk The Pope runs down to the ring with a chair and clears the ring.
The Pope says that he and the congregation want revenge and tonight he challenge each and every member of Fortune to a match.
Anderson tells The Pope that he wants a piece of the action, that he is willing to join the The Pope in his match against Fortune. The Pope declines.

Surprises
Surprises - Matt Morgan, Desmond Wolfe and Beer Money becomes a group.
Swerve – Ric Flair helps Matt Morgan. The Unbreakable Bond with Ric Flair becomes, Fortune.
Surprises - Sonjay Dutt and Matt Bentley shows up in crowd.
Surprise - Petey Williams is with them and they are Xccellence!
Swerve - After Christopher Daniels helps Lethal on Impact from another beat down from the members of Xccellence, Daniels then in the PPV match double crosses Lethal and Amazing Red in their three on three match against Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams and Matt Bentley of Xccellence. He then reveals himself of being part of the group, then make hints of this is bigger than everyone thinks.
Surprise - Fortune and Xccellence are both part of something bigger and Eric Bischoff orchestrated the whole thing including the disappearance of Hogan.
Surprise - Fortune and Xccellence together with Eric Bischoff is Deception and they plan to control TNA!
---------------------------------------------------------------

Hoping for a wrestling landscape where one and only one heel stable is dominate, where a superstar like The Pope, Anderson or Samoa Joe would go against the authority, dismantle the dominate group alone and advance to a higher realm of superstardom. Where the superstar would refuse to be certify by Hogan or any other past great, the fans approval would be all this superstar would need.
