Unironically rebranding the entirety of the fed to the name of the show just started a drain circling that'll never be undone.

It's a pretty easy bandage to apply
>bring back the TNA name
>bring back the six sided ring
It's one thing to not gain any new fans but alienating the old fans is another kind if stupid. Also
>grovel to Paramount for a stream deal since they apparently own half of Impact's library anyway

I doubt that will ever happen, apparently the six sided ring was brutal to work inside so most of the wrestlers hated it.

Strip it down to the X Division, the tag division, and the women's division.

The six-sided ring was a stupid idea from the start. Wrestlers train with a 4 sided ring and work almost exclusively within it. Changing it to 6 sides changes how they can use the ropes, so it made lots of guys look awkward and increased botches and injury risk.

Yes eventually the wrestlers adapt, but why bother learning this new skill when you will need to go back to 4 sides to work at literally every other company?

I wouldn't want talent like Rosemary to disappear into bingo halls.
I'm not saying five or six matches per show.
Just lose Gail Kim and Mickie James and give the women one match per show.
And Impact has always been a good stepping stone for women.

They should have done it with the 20th anniversary but they should resurrect the TNA name for the company.

Replace Rebellion with Lockdown

Run a World X Cup with NJPW Young Lions and some indie names

I was watching the first half of the year, even went to one of their tapings. Haven't even watching the past few months because it's been hot garbage. Shame because I like a lot of the talent, I just can't stand the direction it's been going in. Which is down. And fast.

It's been downhill ever since they took the belts off Moose and Deonna. Josh Alexander is a charisma vacuum and Jordynne Grace don't even get me started. You also have Bully Ray in the main event picture every week. I hope Rosemary and Deonna get a WWE or AEW contract so they can leave just like Tenille and Chelsea have

Yeah cuz Tenille being back as Emma and losing her re-debut match and then being Riddick Moss's cheerleader has done wonders for her

Rosemary is very loyal to impact. She has a job for life. Even after she retires. As for deonna, unless she's got some 6 packs abs, wwe ain't calling. She knows aew will just stick her on dark with everybody else. There's some people out there who like being a big fish in a small pond.

Losing don callis really hurt them. He was the master mind who put focus on character development and storytelling. Another problem is gail kim. Don't get me wrong I like gail and I like her love and passion for the sport. But it's obvious she is not a good booker. She's to focus on the here and now instead of looking into the future. From what I heard she doesn't pay attention too what's going on in the indie and joshi scene. So there's a lot of young hungry talent that have potential to be stars for the promotion, that are not being brought in. Impact wrestling is once again going through an identity crisis. One week thier trying to be like the wwe. And then another week thier trying to be like aew. They need to stop that bullshit and go back to what they were always meant to be. The island of misfit toys, a renegade promotion that doesn't give a fuck.
