I'ma big TNA mark but Im starting to worry as their storylines seem so off and boring at times.I feel they have all the potential in the world, why is it booked so poorly.Back when they were on FOX WST or something it was better.

TNA's problem is, was, and will likely continue to be in the fact that they just don't know who they are as a wrestling company.

For a company that once so proudly billed themselves as a bona-fide alternative to the sports entertainment world of WWE under the slogan of "TNA: We Are Wrestling" -- they do seem to be dabbling more than a bit in precisely the same sports entertainment waters they once claimed to avoid, and there certainly doesn't seem to be all that much in the way of actual *wrestling* going on during each of their weekly broadcasts, now does there?

These days, TNA's slogan is "Cross The Line" -- but all that really seems to mean is "hey, former WWE guys -- COME ON IN!" And while the company has done a tremendous job of gobbling up "free agents" and WWE castaways up and down the line, they haven't really managed to attract the built-in *FANS* of these same performers, and thus their company continues to sputter along in a rinse and repeat fashion with little to show for it in the way of actual, homegrown momentum.

Again, it all leads us back to what I once joked was TNA's foolproof business model:

Step 1) Sign old WWE stars
Step 2) ?
Step 3) Profit

Problem is -- TNA can buy all of the old WWE stars in the world. And they can trot them onto TNA programming in high style and watch the quarter-hour ratings rise on any given week, accordingly. But until they can figure out how to use these new acquisitions in a way that will actually make fans pay attention to the product for anything longer than the latest "new hire" segment? They're pretty much doomed to more and more of the same.

I wonder if TNA realise that most who are released are incredibly unpopular. Orlando Jordan for example.

i just think the writers are lazy and too busy living in the past.
