Like I said earlier, the MMA style match wasn't the best thing I ever saw but I was glad to see someone have the balls to try something new. And I really think they need to push their true TNA guys. Having Angle and Booker as the face of the company is okay but they should be setting themselves apart by pushing guys like Joe and Matt Morgan. And I don't know - people that cry about WWE having crappy technical wrestlers love TNA and people that don't care for TNA wrestlers' mic skills stick with WWE. So maybe there's a happy medium somewhere like the one WWF found between WCW and ECW back in the day. Above everything else TNA should stay fun. I know a lot of people don't like guys like Curry Man but I think there's something there. I agree with James that they should try new and interesting.

The great thing about TNA was that they were smart enough to pull in guys like Christian, but then they did exactly what McMahon would do--hold them down and not let them carry the crowd. TNA should do away with scripts for guys like Christian and let him run his mouth. TNA should hold Russo accountable for coming up with something NEW and INTERESTING. Most of all, allow the X-Division to go crazy again. Stop inserting people like Nash and Joe and just let the crowd have something that McMahon won't give us. I don't know if those three things would FIX TNA, but I'm not really sure it's broken right now. It just needs to separate itself from Vince McMahon to really be a contender.

"FTW" meant "Fuck the world," which I always thought was stupid. I always thought that it should have meant "Full Time Wrestler" instead, since Shane Douglas sat out for most of the year with an injury. So one way to improve TNA, would be to do that storyline with Joe. Have Angle and Joe start a storyline where Angle is refusing to wrestler. Since he is already only wrestles once and month, they should make that an angle. Joe could start carrying around a "Full Time Wrestler" belt, maybe have him win the X-Division title and use it for this, and giving face promos about how he wrestles for the fans and travels for the company, while Angle sits at home and defends the title a little as possible.
