Thing is, TNA have been trying to mount a challenge since it started. Every new WWE cast off signed was supposed to be them turning the corner and being able to go toe to toe with WWE and it just hasn't happened.
TBH, TNA reminds me of WCW just before it folded.
And me to be honest.
Got a lot of respect for Dixie Carter (from what I've seen she's extremely down-to-earth and approachable e.g. with fans at events which I admire), but have to wonder if she knows what she's doing there.
The likes of Paul Heyman and Jim Cornette (two of the best minds in the history of pro wrestling) have both recently questionned the point of parading ECW guys, most of whom sadly are many, many years past their peaks.
If I was in charge of TNA, I would get all the ECW guys off screen (though no doubt some could be good writers/bookers e.g. Raven who's got a great mind), pay off Hogan, Bischoff, Flair, Foley etc. Build the company around guys under 35 like AJ, Wolfe, Pope, Joe etc. Have guys around who can still be great like Anderson & Angle, and completely re-build the once-great Knockouts Division - bring Kim back, Kong back, ODB, etc, and make TNA exciting to watch again, with a strong X Division too.
They've got so much potential and so many great wrestlers, but sometimes (like WCW) you wonder if they actually know what to do with them.
