Kurt Angle rumored to be leaving for WWE this fall.
Scott Steiner contemplating retirement do to physical problems.
Sting whether or not he's considering retirement is in the absolute twilight of his career.
Is TNA blind to all these facts? I sometimes wonder that. We're all aware of the train wreck that the Frontline/MEM feud is becoming. It seems everyweek we tune in to see "The Greatest Collection of World Champions" ever assembled. (aka the Middle Aged Mafia), beat up on the young talented future of the company, and as far as I can see, there is no change in direction in sight.
But there's already a thread on that, and that's not really the thought I'm trying to express. The point I'm trying to make is and the question up for discussion in this thread is this: What are TNA's plan's for the future once all these guys retire/leave?
Right now there is no sign of TNA preparing any mid-card talent for a main event push. Right now the main event talent we have now, are the ones we're gonna remain with for quite sometime. That's great, but you can't depend on four old guys foever.
Now the only seemingly "main event" calibur wrestler that is locked in (for the time being) is Booker T, but you can't really have a guy like Booker T carrying your company as the top talent, he just lacks something.
Sure once the members of the Middle Aged Mafia leave for whatever reason, there is still Joe and AJ Styles, they had killer matches against each other in the X-Division back in the day that could cross over to the Heavyweight division and make it more interesting, but what then? Eventually every feud grows stale.
There is Hernandez for sure, but he still requires MAJOR work before he's actually at the top and could be a world champion.
I could see guys like Matt Morgan, Robert Rhoode, and even James Storm at the top one day, but at this point TNA only sees these guys as mid-carders.
All I have to say is TNA needs to start thinking ahead, especially if the guys they depend on so much to keep their company afloat are up in age or not totally loyal to the company.
What are your thoughts?
