Also what should TNA do to compete with WWE. I think it could take TNA 3-5 years to compete. They should sign Goldberg and Brock Lesner. Then they should steal John Cena which I don't think is impossible. He has been upset by fans' negativity, and if he was two move to TNA the fans would love him alot more than they love Christian Cage.

Chewy

Goldberg should a shot at TNA while he still has something left in him to give, hes not getting any younger, and/nor any better, Bill would be awesome if hes done right.

Lesner would be the best pick/snag by TNA right now; hes fit, eager, and has a ton of potential to be one of the best EVER, Lesner could take TNA to the top.

18 months ago I would have said within two years. TNA had it's own brand distinction, was putting on the hottest PPV's and in the X-Division had something that fans really wanted to see. Since then it has made 3/4 mistakes that have destroyed it's momentum. The bringing in of old talent has not helped one bit. DDP, Randy Savage, Kevin Nash, Sting and Stiener have taken big pay-checks and between them contributed nothing to the show. Christian's title run was handled all wrong (and was reminiscent of recent WWE failures) in the way that while he was champ Jeff Jarrett was still the main event. The X-Division was incorrectly utilised, having Joe hold the belt so long was great for building him and did give us some of the matches of the year with Styles and Daniels however the usual X-Division format seemed to be forgotten and now instead of Low Ki being in a strong posistion the X-Division is left jobbing to Nash. And the most heinous of all these crimes as the ending to virtually every PPV was a clusterfuck run-in (usually JJ) that always left a crappy taste in the mouth or a controversy. PPV's are paid for to end rivalry's and TNA never seemed to "wrap up the month". Hell at their "mania" this year at the end of the night no-one knew who'd won... could you ever see that happening at Mania?

So unfortunatly yes it will probably take another 2 years to get back to a strong posistion for TNA but personally I'd prefer another promotion to step forward now and take a shot, I feel ROH would be better booked at this point and wish there was a way to put them into TNA's posistion, a dream I know.

Who knows, they just need to either get rid of or learn to use the washups correctly, while let the younger guys do what they really can inside the octagonal circle.

tna has fallen into the same trap wcw did...instead of taking a slow and steady pace with their young guys, they've brought in a bunch of washed-up hacks like sting who simply can't go anymore. the big money they've paid sting, nash, steiner, savage, etc. would have been better spent developing/promoting younger guys, guys who will carry the company 5 years from now...goldberg would be a bad idea cuz he's gonna come in wanting to dominate. he's just like all the other veterans, unwilling to job to the younger guys. adding cena would be genius but the wwe will never let that happen. he's too much of a lighting rod and gets a huge 'pop' every single time he hits the ring. the wwe doesn't do it the way wcw did...they don't unload their young stars and replace them with over the hill bums.

I always found this to be the stupidest thing.

Some of the best wrestlers matches ever as the ones they didnt win.

How many time did the Rock put over Mick Foley/HHH/Taker etc and he still is considered one of the best entertainers ever.

But to the point of TNA competing?

They are "competing" if you will. Two years ago, nobody knew what time they were on. What station they were on, who was the champ, so on and so on.

Bringing in Christian Cage brought in ALOT of new fans I believe. I am one of them.

I also believe that Sting helped legitimize TNA. (by the way, why are ALL wrestling companies three capitals letters? Anyway.....

They may NEVER reach WWE's status, the may someday surpass them, but water always seeks its level and as long as there is a McMahon name stuck to the product they will always be in the running.

Also. Bringing in Brock Lesnar and or Goldberg would be a DISASTER. Who the hell would beat them? Namely Lesnar. He would never job to AJ Styles or Rhyno. Just wouldnt happen.

Build from within and pick off the occasional guy that worked in WWE that was "held back"

I agree. Goldberg would be a huge mistake.. I actually think they have enough talent. Their name is out there, I think pretty much anyone who is interested in wrestling has heard of TNA, they just haven't been given enough reasons to watch week to week.,, and it's mainly because of Jarrett as champion, people look at TNA as 2nd rate..

Here's a fact. If Samoa Joe was champion, more people would watch.. Why? because A) Jarrett would be out of the picture, but more importantly B) the company wouldn't be looked at as a bunch of WWE guys who couldn't make it in the big leagues..

If you showcase Styles, Joe.. and all this new talent, and they get a following of having these grea matches, it will bring people in to se what the fuss is all about..

They would still need some good speakers, but Christian is good, so there's a start..

Their biggest problem is the Dying days of WCW feel that they have at the top of the card..
