Will TNA survive after....

All of their current big name veterans retire? I think they will. Yes Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Sting, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner are good additions to the TNA roster. But I honestly think they'll be better off without them. They've got a ton of guys that are ready to step up and be big stars for TNA, and really all the older guys are doing is holding them back.

I really think that TNA would be a much better product if guys like AJ Styles, Matt Morgan, Hernandez, Samoa Joe, Robert Rhoode, and James Storm were maineventing every week instead of the old worn out guys. Although I will say that Kurt Angle and Mick Foley have been great additions to TNA. Even though neither are in their prime they've still contributed a lot to the product.

Obviously they are not going to all retire at the same time. But when one does, it won't be all that hard to fill their shoes with all of the talent that TNA has going right now. As it is, I think that everyone at TNA has their place, and it doesn't seem as though only a few are hording all the cash and titles, even though the storyline is essentially that.

Honestly they did just fine without them because none of them were around in the very begining. They all came later.

wwe is not that stupid they let those guys go cause they had nothing left..I just hope tna see that before its too late, joe and aj are not getting any younger. Tna has all it needs right now w/ out them. they just need to learn how to create someone. and not rely on has beens to draw..I mean sting still maineventing and nash before real..I rather watch paint dry..

I actually can't wait for the day guys like Angle, Nash, Steiner, Booker, Sting, Dudleys, Foley etc... retire. It will hopefully mean that guys like AJ, Joe, Roode, Eric Young, Hernandez, MCMG, Lethal etc... Will get to move up & shine a lil more in the main event scene.

It has nothing to do with veterans. Older guys having top spots does hurt the product, but no where near as much as inconsistent garbage writing and booking. Until TNA fixes that, they won't go anywhere.

Um... they are already in the main event scene. In fact, Joe is X-Division champ, A.J is TNA champ, Hernandez just challenged for the belt, Roode and Storm are challenging for the tag-team championships, and Eric Young is a major player with the New World Elite faction.

The booking is actually really great right now, there are wonderfully diverse match-ups each week, without losing any of the great feuds, and it is very consistently written, with intriguing storylines. Give it another shot, you will be surprised how much you enjoy it.

TNA is doing a great job of promoting and growing their own names. I think really that they need a good balance and if they can make the transition over in the next couple of years bringing up "home grown" names like Eric Young and maybe using some of the international talent as they have and maybe some other indy stars they may have the punch that WCW had without the limited lifespan that they ran into.

Basically it is really hard to start something from nothing and they have been able to use names all ready established to put over their own talent like AJ, Joe, Beer Money, Etc. Hopefully we continue to see this and in turn these guys who are being pushed now can help in raising the next batch of names in TNA.

- Joe I'll give you since he's in & out of the main event scene right now & has been for a lil while now.

- AJ the same i'll give you that.

- Hernedez challenged for the belt but is most likely still in the midcard, At most upper midcard not a full time main event for now.

- Roodes & Storm have been in the tag division for a good year or two now so nothings changed there.

- Eric young has recieved a push but he aint really in the main event scene right now. More midcard than main event really.
