IF you was in charge of tna for a year what would you do to make the company succeed?
Me these are some of the areas I think TNA is hurting at and some of the ideas I'd to to make the company successful.
1. Character Building: I'd change the direction of the company. It seems like over the last couple of years TNA hasn't really created any new stars. We still have the same originals feuding with Ex WWE talent. If this company is going to survive they got to start creating stars for tomorrow. Not rely on ex talent. The money they are paying the talent currently doesn't justifies the price they are paying out. TNA is a Treadmill Promotion. Their ratings stay the same. One thing TNA has is a great roster when it comes to in ring wrestling. But they lack characters. Fans need a entertainment value to keep their attention. Strong characters behind a wrestler. They got to invest in finding gimmicks to give their talent so a story is told. At the end of the day this is a tv program. Wrestling is just a part of the show. Story telling and characters are needed. Bring in young talent and start building a story behind them. Don't waste your money on a high price Household name that doesn't have a impact on your product.
2. Take the company Public. This company has been a private own company since the beginning. One of the main concern in the company is cost control. Having that extra income to invest into the product and show. By taking the company public they could use the money from investors to put back into the product. I think there are a lot of people out there that want to see TNA Succeed. One thing wwe does right is they just don't put on a wrestling event. They put on a entertainment event. This is what TNA needs to find for themselfs. WCW used the Nitro Girls, Djs and music, Flashy enterences with Fireworks. TNA doesn't offer much of a entertainment show. The money they could gain from investors they could use to put on more of a entertainment event.
3. I'd Market TNA outside the box to get Brand awareness: One of the major things TNA faces is a bad Public relation team. It seems like most household mainstream fans don't know half the talent or whos in TNA. Non the less that TNA is even around. They believe their favorite ex wrestlers like Hardy, Kurt Angle, etc are retired. I'd use these methods to bring attention to TNA Product:
Free Tickets to military personnel and governement employees as a way for the company to show its gratitude for their service to their country. Its a great way to help fill in the seats at live events plus they gain from merchandise purchases.
A school program where TNA reaches out to local schools they are touring where students k-12 write a essay on their favorite wrestlers on spike tv Or a reading program to plug higher education in schools. TNA would award a class with free tickets to a event.
TNA Spring Break in Tampa, Florida at Hogans Beach Hosted by Hogan's Family and Friends and the TNA Crew. A Summer Event to promote Spring Break and Hogan's Beach. A event to Kick off the Summer. They could do a fan axxes type weekend where wrestlers would sign autographs. They could bring in some legends of the sport to take part. They could sale tickets where fans could have dinner with their favorite wrestler for charity. Do local fund rasing with charity golfing etc.. The night life on the beach would have live music with your favorite TNA stars taking part. Maybe even do a Dress as your favorite wrestler Night. They Could end the weekend holding a PPV from the beach. Like Bash at the Beach use to do. TNA could promote this yearly event as the place to be during spring break each year. I'd try and do something with MTV to help bring in some music and media coverage. I'd offer Discount packages to college fraternities and sororities to help bring in people.
TNA Viewing Party Hosted By Eric Young/Christy Hemme and OBD. Have the three go to cities and hangout with tna fans. Promote next week shows with the fans. Asking questions if they are excited for tna to be in their city next week. Have fans use twitter to tweet why they are the best place to host a viewing party with a picture. Offer free pizza to the parties.
Comic Con Interviews on Spike With Dixie and some of the TNA wrestlers Plugging TNA On Spike. Could have "Daniels/kaz" Shown Dressed like Comic Characters. Also TNA could Introduce a Jeff Hardy Comic book? The comic would be Hardy with Super Powers facing TNA talent on the side. Hardy can Draw some of his pictures at the event and try and sale it for charity.
TNA XBOX Live/PS3 App get all the latest News/Upcoming events/Shopzone deals/Previous shows up to 5 episodes back and backstage videos/Discount prices on ppv events if you watch threw xbox live or PS3 apps.
Promote in upcoming tour cities threw their local evets. A Lot of cities across the country have local events celebrating their cities. I'd Promote events in cities TNA Will be coming too soon. It will get the word out about them coming. Some examples "Music festivals, Pride, Boston Marathon, Detriot car Show, New years Eve in New York" There are a lot of ways to get some tv time with spike and the wrestlers during these events. Using TMZ to show them at these events maybe even try and get some interviews on TMZ.
Get some of the wrestlers appearances on SNL and Other TV Shows. I'd Suggest a Spike TV Wipeout Special With TNA Stars competing with Each Other. Maybe Try and get Eric Young on a talk show talking about his Animal Planet tv show and being a active wrestler for TNA.
