My breakdown of the TNA roster

[cmpunk04 0]

This is my thoughts on the current roster and what I think should be changed.

 

 

 

ABYSS: He is one who I would keep. He has potential to be a champion in time. Now he is away from Goldylocks he can go out on his own and show what he can do like he did against AJ. Monty cant touch Abyss ability wise.

 

AJ STYLES: One of the few cornerstones TNA has. He has the ability to apeal to both casual and hardcore fans whic not many wrestlers can do. He deserved better with his title run than to have Russo help him with every match and then be made Jarretts jobber. If TNA can keep hold of AJ he will be their star.

 

ALEX SHELLY: Very underrated so far. He has the technical ability of half the roster combined and has not been able to show it yet. He needs to drop all the baby bear rubbish and go into business for himself. I would deffinately keep him around.

 

ALPHA MALE MONTY BROWN: Overrated but he should be kept around. I think if Monty can improve his wrestling skills he can do well. His promos are funny. However he does not deserve the place of Jarretts pet project which he seems to have. Not ready to carry the company.

 

AMAZING RED: He has been a shadow of himself since returning from surgery. His Infa Red move has gone and has been replaced by a sloppy elbow drop. He is acting as a jobber at the moment and I dont know what he can offer.

 

THE NATURALS: I would keep them around but not at the level they are at now. With time they can be good as shown in the cage match with AMW, but they need to drop the southern mentality. They are not at the Tennessee indies any more.

 

BG JAMES AND KONNAN: Washed up and it is time for them to go. Sure they have been motivated a bit more lately but they are still mediocre at best. BG could have a backstage interviewers role and I guess Konnan could do spanish announcing.

 

CHAD COLLYER: Again underrated. Him and Shelly could have some great matches given the chance but he has been a jobber so far.

 

AMW: A good tag team who deserve their spots in TNA. I dont think they are the best team ever as we are supposed to believe but they need to stick around.

 

CHRIS SABIN: Last year I thought he may be a breakthrough star. I was wrong with that but he is still solid. He needs to be used more than he is at the moment.

 

CHRIS VAUGHN: Not ready for the promotion at all

 

DALLAS: Worthless. Test eat your heart out.

 

DAVID YOUNG: Has been turned into a jobber by TNA and it would be hard to take him seriously.

 

DESIRE, TRINITY, GOLDY, ETC: I would keep all the women except for Goldylocks. She is not trained, cant bump and is just there for the sake of it really. The rest do no harm though.

 

D RAY 3000 & SHARK BOY: I dont like them. I know some do but D Ray is vanilla and Shark Boy is overrated.

 

DON HARRIS: Worthless. Keep him as security as long as he is not being paid to stand there and look tough.

 

DUSTY RHODES: He does have a place in TNA as he is very popular. I wish he had a smaller role than the one he is in now as it gets too much after a while. Can cut a good promo though.

 

ERIK WATTS: The biggest waste of money in TNA at the moment. I have never spoke to a single person who cares about him and I think he should be out asap.

 

ELIX SKIPPER AND CHRIS DANIELS: Probably the best team in TNA at the moment. Daniels carrys the team and Skipper is ok sometimes. With Daniels commiting himself to TNA they have one of the best all round workers today. If the team runs its course its time to give Daniels a good solo run to show what he can do with the likes of Styles.

 

HOTSTUFF HERNANDEZ: I honestly thought TNA would have done more with him as he has good ability for his size.

 

JEFF HARDY: Call me a sucker but I think TNA should keep Hardy. He has the appeal and name value. By no means should he be the world champion though. I just wish he would get himself motivated so he could do some of his ladder stuff.

 

JEFF JARRETT: Here we go! He does not deserve to be on top for as long as he is, hell he should be down the card. He puts himself over at the expense of others, thinks he is a draw when he is not and is not that great of a wrestler anyway. Try telling that to him though. God I wish he was not in power.

 

JERELLE CLARKE AND MIKEY BATTS: They should be the underdog team that Shark and D Ray get the role of. They have been booked odd so far. 2 big wins followed by 2 total squashes each time. Clarke has a hell of a cool looking finisher as well.

 

JONNY FAIRPLAY: Im not sure if he has any appeal left anymore. If TNA were set on using him they should have done it as soon as he gave the big plug on that Survivor show.

 

JOHNNY SWINGER/ PAT KENNEY: I put them together as the best thing for both would be to go back together. Kenney can be good. Swinger is mediocre.

 

KAZARIAN AND MICHAEL SHANE: They should stick around. They fit in the tag division more than the X Division and are an ok heel team.

 

KID KASH: Probably the best heel in TNA at the moment. The only guy who can make the crowd try and hit him in TNA. A lot dont agree but I like his ring work as well. He deserved to win at least one of those matches with AJ.

 

LA PARK AND PSYCHOSIS: I would bring them back for more shows. They are recognizable and are good workers as well. I hope TNA get them back soon.

 

ONYX: Worthless. He looks like he can hardly move.

 

RAVEN: Another cornerstone of TNA. I think he deserves a title run although I dont see it coming. I hope he is back on tv soon as I think the shows are better with Raven around. Give the guy more!

 

RON KILLINGS: Another guy who deserves more. He has done too much to be Monty's whipping boy. Truth could have gone on a good title run but instead he jobs to Jarrett a week later. I hope he goes back to the main event soon.

 

SABU: Good for ECW nostalga but not what he used to be. I have a feeling we may not see him again though.

 

SONJAY DUTT: Great worker who I would love to see have a run with the X Title. He has looked good in his recent matches and can do more yet.

 

SONNY SIAKI: Is not being used right at all. Can be good if given the chance.

 

TEAM JAPAN: They can stay, they can go. Not bothered really.

 

TEAM CANADA: Great heels. Petey is great and so is Devine (the best member in my view). Rude can be a good powerhouse. Im not sold on Eric Young. D'Amore is a good heel manager.

 

Let me know your thoughts as it took a LONG time to write this out.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

D RAY 3000 & SHARK BOY: I dont like them. I know some do but D Ray is vanilla and Shark Boy is overrated.

 

Your way off. Shark Boy is probably the most misused TNA guy as he could be huge with a decent enough push. He's not great inring but his backstage antics and gimmick more than makes up for it. He should be a legit threat for the X Division Title.

 

 

DALLAS: Worthless. Test eat your heart out.

 

Dallas just needs a better partner to cover up his weaknesses. I found him instantly to be much less offensive when he was teaming with Abyss instead of Kid Kash.

 

 

KID KASH: Probably the best heel in TNA at the moment. The only guy who can make the crowd try and hit him in TNA. A lot dont agree but I like his ring work as well. He deserved to win at least one of those matches with AJ.

 

I disagree, Kid Kash is a great heel but you can't build a promotion around him. He's a good mid-card heel act but he would fall apart if he had to carry a whole company.

 

 

LA PARK AND PSYCHOSIS: I would bring them back for more shows. They are recognizable and are good workers as well. I hope TNA get them back soon.

 

TNA should learn from WCW's mistakes and push La Parka to the moon.

Iv not seen much of him outside of TNA so I have no clue how he would look in a serious lengthy match. In TNA the only time I have enjoyed him was his New Jack skits.

I dont think the should build the promotion around him but I do think he is the best heel in TNA at the moment. I guess that says somthing about their main event scene when a midcarder upstages your top heels.

 

TNA should learn from WCW's mistakes and push La Parka to the moon.

 

Agreed 100%

[starvenger 0]

Good stuff. Let me add some thoughts here (and bear in mind that I don't get PPV):

 

AJ STYLES: One of the few cornerstones TNA has. He has the ability to apeal to both casual and hardcore fans whic not many wrestlers can do. He deserved better with his title run than to have Russo help him with every match and then be made Jarretts jobber. If TNA can keep hold of AJ he will be their star.

To me his (apparently self-requested) move back to the X-division is in some ways a step back. Yes, this is where most of the competition (and talent) is in TNA but in order to be considered a true "player" he has to make a clean break and stay in the heavyweight ranks. Build the title around him and get some more heavyweights so that it doesn't look like the same 4 guys (JJ, Hardy, Truth, Monty) every week.

 

AMAZING RED: He has been a shadow of himself since returning from surgery. His Infa Red move has gone and has been replaced by a sloppy elbow drop. He is acting as a jobber at the moment and I dont know what he can offer.

Maybe it was because of the surgery but Red seems to be the heir apparent to Sabu - a spot machine that is there to get the crowd into the matches.

 

ALPHA MALE MONTY BROWN: Overrated but he should be kept around. I think if Monty can improve his wrestling skills he can do well. His promos are funny. However he does not deserve the place of Jarretts pet project which he seems to have. Not ready to carry the company.

Don't think that Brown wrestles well, but he's in his mid-30s, has the look, the mic skills and looks like he's having a blast, so why not push him? If he were in the WWE he'd have the IC/US strap, but I think he's fine where he is in TNA. Also, I'm VERY glad he got rid of the cheetah trunks.

 

BG JAMES AND KONNAN: Washed up and it is time for them to go. Sure they have been motivated a bit more lately but they are still mediocre at best. BG could have a backstage interviewers role and I guess Konnan could do spanish announcing.

Waste of space, except when they're used in the role of Killings' posse. More on Killings later.

 

AMW: A good tag team who deserve their spots in TNA. I dont think they are the best team ever as we are supposed to believe but they need to stick around.

Honestly, I just don't see it. Maybe it's the lack of charisma or something. Break the team up and find better partners, I say.

 

DALLAS: Worthless. Test eat your heart out.

I actually like Test. But that may be because without him, we're subjected to guys like Tomko, Heidenreich and Horshu. Dallas is the same way - he makes Eric Watts look skilled. Speaking of which...

 

ERIK WATTS: The biggest waste of money in TNA at the moment. I have never spoke to a single person who cares about him and I think he should be out asap.

He sucks. I mean, he tries, but he sucks.

 

JEFF HARDY: Call me a sucker but I think TNA should keep Hardy. He has the appeal and name value. By no means should he be the world champion though. I just wish he would get himself motivated so he could do some of his ladder stuff.

Hardy is good and bad. Good because he's a "name" and if they promote him enough maybe they can get some more viewers. Bad because he's never been that good, and his time back in TNA has shown that. Yes, he's good at taking crazy bumps, but he's never really progressed beyond that. I'd say that they should have AJ turn on him but that might make AJ the face.

 

D RAY 3000 & SHARK BOY: I dont like them. I know some do but D Ray is vanilla and Shark Boy is overrated.

One note jokes, although Shark Boy does have some skills. They're fine exactly where they are - as enhancement talent.

 

JONNY FAIRPLAY: Im not sure if he has any appeal left anymore. If TNA were set on using him they should have done it as soon as he gave the big plug on that Survivor show.

Totally dropped the ball with him. The role of top heel manager is filled quite capably by D'Amore. Hopefully he pops up on those Survivor ads and gives Rupert a chairshot.

 

LA PARK AND PSYCHOSIS: I would bring them back for more shows. They are recognizable and are good workers as well. I hope TNA get them back soon.

OK I have no idea how Nicho is allowed to be Psychosis and LA Park isn't allowed to be La Parka, but aside from that, hey I can't complain. More of these two is a good thing.

 

RON KILLINGS: Another guy who deserves more. He has done too much to be Monty's whipping boy. Truth could have gone on a good title run but instead he jobs to Jarrett a week later. I hope he goes back to the main event soon.

Like I've said before, all I've seen of Killings has been in tag matches, and what I've seen hasn't been very good. Then again, he was in matches with 3 Live Cru, so there you go. Let me see him in solo competition before saying more.

 

SABU: Good for ECW nostalga but not what he used to be. I have a feeling we may not see him again though.

Please, go away.

 

TEAM CANADA: Great heels. Petey is great and so is Devine (the best member in my view). Rude can be a good powerhouse. Im not sold on Eric Young. D'Amore is a good heel manager.

Best heels in TNA. They've done a good job in putting together guys with diverse styles into one unit. And I've always enjoyed D'Amore as a heel, whether it be in TNA, BCW or even on Off The Record.

[cmpunk04 0]

To me his (apparently self-requested) move back to the X-division is in some ways a step back. Yes, this is where most of the competition (and talent) is in TNA but in order to be considered a true "player" he has to make a clean break and stay in the heavyweight ranks. Build the title around him and get some more heavyweights so that it doesn't look like the same 4 guys (JJ, Hardy, Truth, Monty) every week.

 

Agreed. AJ should have been left in he title picture and not in the X scene. He seems to be the most popular guy with the Orlando crowd as well.

 

Don't think that Brown wrestles well, but he's in his mid-30s, has the look, the mic skills and looks like he's having a blast, so why not push him? If he were in the WWE he'd have the IC/US strap, but I think he's fine where he is in TNA. Also, I'm VERY glad he got rid of the cheetah trunks.

 

Brown definately has the charisma. If his ring work improves then he should step up.

 

Like I've said before, all I've seen of Killings has been in tag matches, and what I've seen hasn't been very good. Then again, he was in matches with 3 Live Cru, so there you go. Let me see him in solo competition before saying more.

 

Killings really deserves a strong singles push. He was the star of the heavyweight division in early TNA.

 

Best heels in TNA. They've done a good job in putting together guys with diverse styles into one unit. And I've always enjoyed D'Amore as a heel, whether it be in TNA, BCW or even on Off The Record.

 

It gets the guys on the shows as well. Without Team Canada I think Devine would struggle to get on the shows which would be a shame.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

ABYSS: He is one who I would keep. He has potential to be a champion in time. Now he is away from Goldylocks he can go out on his own and show what he can do like he did against AJ. Monty cant touch Abyss ability wise.

IMO, he needs to start dropping the Kane rip-off persona, and just be a big ol' badass. From what I've heard, his promo's as Prince Justice were pretty good, so maybe have him shed the mask as a sign of him leaving Goldylocks and other oppressive "masters" (Kid Kash, Jeff Jarrett's Posse, etc.), and have him start cutting promo's. Can go in the ring, and is possibly the best big man in the States since Vader.

AJ STYLES: One of the few cornerstones TNA has. He has the ability to apeal to both casual and hardcore fans whic not many wrestlers can do. He deserved better with his title run than to have Russo help him with every match and then be made Jarretts jobber. If TNA can keep hold of AJ he will be their star.

Stop switching between whether or not AJ should be heel or face, and push him as one. He works best as the cocky heel, but if he becomes a face like that, then continue keeping the character the same. Give him CLEAN wins over his opponents again, especially his big matches, and watch his star rise. TNA is being incredibly stupid by, basically, treating AJ like shit by never giving him the true opportunity to show how great he is.

ALEX SHELLY: Very underrated so far. He has the technical ability of half the roster combined and has not been able to show it yet. He needs to drop all the baby bear rubbish and go into business for himself. I would deffinately keep him around.

I don't care for Shelly at all.

ALPHA MALE MONTY BROWN: Overrated but he should be kept around. I think if Monty can improve his wrestling skills he can do well. His promos are funny. However he does not deserve the place of Jarretts pet project which he seems to have. Not ready to carry the company.

Tell him to use more than just crossface punches and The Pounce, and to actually vary up his moveset and speed it up in the ring. He has untapped potential, and it would be a crime to not make use of it.

AMAZING RED: He has been a shadow of himself since returning from surgery. His Infa Red move has gone and has been replaced by a sloppy elbow drop. He is acting as a jobber at the moment and I dont know what he can offer.

If he doesn't get better and shake off the ringrust in the next few months, cut him loose.

THE NATURALS: I would keep them around but not at the level they are at now. With time they can be good as shown in the cage match with AMW, but they need to drop the southern mentality. They are not at the Tennessee indies any more.

Treat them as WWE treated Haas & Benjamin in mid 2003. That means put them over cleanly over the faces, but they cheat when they need to. Wins do not come from the illegal man making the pinfall, or using weapons, or any other controversy, but come from simply outsmarting their opponents.

BG JAMES AND KONNAN: Washed up and it is time for them to go. Sure they have been motivated a bit more lately but they are still mediocre at best. BG could have a backstage interviewers role and I guess Konnan could do spanish announcing.

Agreed. Use BG in a speaking-only role, and Konnan could be good for the Spanish announcers.

CHAD COLLYER: Again underrated. Him and Shelly could have some great matches given the chance but he has been a jobber so far.

Fuck him. No charisma, and tries to be a technical wrestling deity when nobody in TNA works that style. Part of being a great technical wrestler is knowing how to adapt.

AMW: A good tag team who deserve their spots in TNA. I dont think they are the best team ever as we are supposed to believe but they need to stick around.

Fine them and depush them every time they dog it because they're told to job. Otherwise, I don't care. They get good enough reactions, but they're very bland.

CHRIS SABIN: Last year I thought he may be a breakthrough star. I was wrong with that but he is still solid. He needs to be used more than he is at the moment.

HERE is what the focus of the X-Division should be. He's very good in the ring, has a natural charisma to him, and can go with just about anybody.

CHRIS VAUGHN: Not ready for the promotion at all

Well, that's why he's a jobber, since he's still training.

DALLAS: Worthless. Test eat your heart out.

TNA has their quota of hosses per their roster size in Brown and Abyss. Next.

DAVID YOUNG: Has been turned into a jobber by TNA and it would be hard to take him seriously.

Young could have been a solid midcard face after he was turned on by Gilberti and Swinger, but the losing streak angle ruined him.

DESIRE, TRINITY, GOLDY, ETC: I would keep all the women except for Goldylocks. She is not trained, cant bump and is just there for the sake of it really. The rest do no harm though.

If TNA is going to have women wrestlers, even if it's just Trinity and Desire, then they need to bring in women who can also work. Mercedes Martinez, Hayley Skye, April Hunter, etc.

D RAY 3000 & SHARK BOY: I dont like them. I know some do but D Ray is vanilla and Shark Boy is overrated.

D-Ray is terrible, and Shark Boy is funny when given a good tag partner to work off of. Otherwise, he's useless.

DON HARRIS: Worthless. Keep him as security as long as he is not being paid to stand there and look tough.

Agreed.

DUSTY RHODES: He does have a place in TNA as he is very popular. I wish he had a smaller role than the one he is in now as it gets too much after a while. Can cut a good promo though.

Just have him manage AMW already! Jesus CHRIST! Harris and Storm are both mediocre on the stick, and Dusty has always had the ability to draw in everybody who's hearing his promo, despite his lisp.

ERIK WATTS: The biggest waste of money in TNA at the moment. I have never spoke to a single person who cares about him and I think he should be out asap.

The thing about Watts is that he's very over in TNA, and only in TNA. Terrible worker, and his promo's are usually shyte, but for some reason, the fans like him. He's good for the occasional "hardcore" gimmick match, but that's about it.

ELIX SKIPPER AND CHRIS DANIELS: Probably the best team in TNA at the moment. Daniels carrys the team and Skipper is ok sometimes. With Daniels commiting himself to TNA they have one of the best all round workers today. If the team runs its course its time to give Daniels a good solo run to show what he can do with the likes of Styles.

I'll admit it: I liked the team of Skipper and Kid Romeo in WCW better than I do Skipper and Daniels in TNA. Always have. Skipper and Daniels only seem to gel when LowKi is also with them in a 6-man tag, as Ki and Daniels are the real talent in XXX.

HOTSTUFF HERNANDEZ: I honestly thought TNA would have done more with him as he has good ability for his size.

Meh.

JEFF HARDY: Call me a sucker but I think TNA should keep Hardy. He has the appeal and name value. By no means should he be the world champion though. I just wish he would get himself motivated so he could do some of his ladder stuff.

His only name value these days is of a washed-up, former WWF/WWE Tag Team champion that would do outrageous bumps each match. Now, he can't do those bumps. He's lost everything about him that made him worth watching, so I'd say dump him ASAP.

JEFF JARRETT: Here we go! He does not deserve to be on top for as long as he is, hell he should be down the card. He puts himself over at the expense of others, thinks he is a draw when he is not and is not that great of a wrestler anyway. Try telling that to him though. God I wish he was not in power.

It's simple: stop putting yourself over everybody, Jeff. The fans are sick of it, and I'm sure the roster is sick of it. Put AJ or Truth over 100% clean, and then watch business start to pick up as you push THEM as the top guys.

JERELLE CLARKE AND MIKEY BATTS: They should be the underdog team that Shark and D Ray get the role of. They have been booked odd so far. 2 big wins followed by 2 total squashes each time. Clarke has a hell of a cool looking finisher as well.

Don't fucking care about them. Outside of the 630, Clarke isn't impressive.

JONNY FAIRPLAY: Im not sure if he has any appeal left anymore. If TNA were set on using him they should have done it as soon as he gave the big plug on that Survivor show.

Fairplay has charisma, and does love wrestling. I won't deny either of those. He should be the manager of The Naturals, as it seems Douglas and Stevens can't talk that well.

JOHNNY SWINGER/ PAT KENNEY: I put them together as the best thing for both would be to go back together. Kenney can be good. Swinger is mediocre.

Cut 'em both loose.

KAZARIAN AND MICHAEL SHANE: They should stick around. They fit in the tag division more than the X Division and are an ok heel team.

Give them a degenerate gimmick, and tell Shane to stop being so angry in his promo's. Also...NEVER MENTION THEM AS X-DIVISION WORKERS. THEY DO NOT WORK THE X-DIVISION STYLE.

KID KASH: Probably the best heel in TNA at the moment. The only guy who can make the crowd try and hit him in TNA. A lot dont agree but I like his ring work as well. He deserved to win at least one of those matches with AJ.

His ring work is solid, but his heel schtick is DEFINITELY why I used to mark out completely for him during the 'Rush and say "KID KASH IS YOUR NEW FAVORITE WRESTLER." Push him as the uppercard heel, maybe Jarrett's buddy or maybe not. Either way, make him seem more important than he is, and give him wins over established stars.

LA PARK AND PSYCHOSIS: I would bring them back for more shows. They are recognizable and are good workers as well. I hope TNA get them back soon.

Neither are really TNA wrestlers, so I'd bring them in during special X-Division events as an attraction.

ONYX: Worthless. He looks like he can hardly move.

Meh.

RAVEN: Another cornerstone of TNA. I think he deserves a title run although I dont see it coming. I hope he is back on tv soon as I think the shows are better with Raven around. Give the guy more!

Push him back to AT LEAST the uppercard, and stick him into a feud with somebody where he can be RAVEN and not some generic heel. If he doesn't start producing the goods again, then I'll say cut him loose.

RON KILLINGS: Another guy who deserves more. He has done too much to be Monty's whipping boy. Truth could have gone on a good title run but instead he jobs to Jarrett a week later. I hope he goes back to the main event soon.

He should still be NWA World champion, in my eyes. If either he or Styles won the King of the Mountain match, the last few months would have been a whole lot more enjoyable. A Truth/Styles feud would be OFF THE CHARTS.

SABU: Good for ECW nostalga but not what he used to be. I have a feeling we may not see him again though.

Cut him loose.

SONJAY DUTT: Great worker who I would love to see have a run with the X Title. He has looked good in his recent matches and can do more yet.

He's shown me nothing in TNA, outside of the Red/Dutt Best of 3 series, to make me think he's anything more than a generic cruiser. Cut him loose or give me a reason to give a fuck about him.

SONNY SIAKI: Is not being used right at all. Can be good if given the chance.

Siaki is best in a tag team when as a cocky, prick heel. Team him with Kid Kash, maybe, and watch the entertainment increase.

TEAM JAPAN: They can stay, they can go. Not bothered really.

Only came in for those three or four weeks to do the World X-Cup. Fuck 'em. Fuck NOSAWA especially.

TEAM CANADA: Great heels. Petey is great and so is Devine (the best member in my view). Rude can be a good powerhouse. Im not sold on Eric Young. D'Amore is a good heel manager.

Petey would be better if he didn't use the Sunset Piledriver to death (I HATE HATE HATE HATE that move so much). Devine IS the best wrestler of the bunch, as he's just solid all-around. Rude is blah, and Young sucks. Either bring back Teddy Hart, or go look for better Canadian talent than Rude and Young. And yes, D'Amore is a very, VERY good heel manager.

EDIT: double post of extreme misfortune.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

ABYSS: He is one who I would keep. He has potential to be a champion in time. Now he is away from Goldylocks he can go out on his own and show what he can do like he did against AJ. Monty cant touch Abyss ability wise.

 

He is only one you would keep? Hell, Abyss should be pushed toward the main event as a over the top monster. I mean bullying the roster and bloodying people up on a weekly basis. This guy COULD mean money if they had one thought of what to do with him.

 

AJ STYLES: One of the few cornerstones TNA has. He has the ability to apeal to both casual and hardcore fans whic not many wrestlers can do. He deserved better with his title run than to have Russo help him with every match and then be made Jarretts jobber. If TNA can keep hold of AJ he will be their star.

 

I agree with you on this one. AJ should be in the position that Jarrett is in for the company right now.

 

ALEX SHELLY: Very underrated so far. He has the technical ability of half the roster combined and has not been able to show it yet. He needs to drop all the baby bear rubbish and go into business for himself. I would deffinately keep him around.

 

The most underrated person on their entire roster. Of course they had to saddle him with Goldylocks and the pointless/stupid shit they do on a weekly basis with that. But at this point......we're lucky that he even gets on consistantly.

 

ALPHA MALE MONTY BROWN: Overrated but he should be kept around. I think if Monty can improve his wrestling skills he can do well. His promos are funny. However he does not deserve the place of Jarretts pet project which he seems to have. Not ready to carry the company.

 

I agree that as much as I don't care for Monte.....he should be kept around. He just needs to be overly protected.

 

AMAZING RED: He has been a shadow of himself since returning from surgery. His Infa Red move has gone and has been replaced by a sloppy elbow drop. He is acting as a jobber at the moment and I dont know what he can offer.

 

I don't necessarily think that he is a shadow of himself considering I think it's just a case of him not being totally healthy......so if that is the case, I understand TNA not putting a lot behind him, but I've never really been nuts about him.....he does have a place there and he's good for the x-division.

 

THE NATURALS: I would keep them around but not at the level they are at now. With time they can be good as shown in the cage match with AMW, but they need to drop the southern mentality. They are not at the Tennessee indies any more.

 

They won't drop the southern stuff simply because it's a southern company.....weither you like it or not. Also, I hated the AMW cage, but I think they are definately better than AMW is and will be. The thing the Naturals have going for them is potential.......and when they peak........they could be REALLY good.

 

BG JAMES AND KONNAN: Washed up and it is time for them to go. Sure they have been motivated a bit more lately but they are still mediocre at best. BG could have a backstage interviewers role and I guess Konnan could do spanish announcing.

 

The only reason why they are there is simply because of the fact that they are mega over in Nashville. I personally hate the both of them but I wouldn't mind if they were just there as "The Truth's crew".....but we know that won't happen and they are basically taking money from a company that needs to cut corner's anyway they can.

 

CHAD COLLYER: Again underrated. Him and Shelly could have some great matches given the chance but he has been a jobber so far.

 

The elite guard is a total waste and they are wasting talent by using Collyer in it. Make him singles and you got a guy that could wrestle half the roster......and people would actually want to see it.

 

AMW: A good tag team who deserve their spots in TNA. I dont think they are the best team ever as we are supposed to believe but they need to stick around.

 

They need them.....but they are grossly overrated.

 

CHRIS SABIN: Last year I thought he may be a breakthrough star. I was wrong with that but he is still solid. He needs to be used more than he is at the moment.

 

Sabin could still be a breakout star if used correctly.......but they don't use him right and they only did during his X-title reigns.

 

CHRIS VAUGHN: Not ready for the promotion at all

 

Good if they want to use him in their training program.....but I agree that he is not ready yet to be used.

 

DALLAS: Worthless. Test eat your heart out.

 

Bodyguard = Don't mind him. Wrestler = Get him the hell off of the TV.

 

DAVID YOUNG: Has been turned into a jobber by TNA and it would be hard to take him seriously.

 

Talk about worthless........

 

DESIRE, TRINITY, GOLDY, ETC: I would keep all the women except for Goldylocks. She is not trained, cant bump and is just there for the sake of it really. The rest do no harm though.

 

GET RID OF THEM ALL.

 

D RAY 3000 & SHARK BOY: I dont like them. I know some do but D Ray is vanilla and Shark Boy is overrated.

 

Pure comedy act........so I could care less what they do with them.

 

DON HARRIS: Worthless. Keep him as security as long as he is not being paid to stand there and look tough.

 

100% correct.

 

DUSTY RHODES: He does have a place in TNA as he is very popular. I wish he had a smaller role than the one he is in now as it gets too much after a while. Can cut a good promo though.

 

Keep him out of the ring and I honestly don't care.

 

ERIK WATTS: The biggest waste of money in TNA at the moment. I have never spoke to a single person who cares about him and I think he should be out asap.

 

100% Agree

 

ELIX SKIPPER AND CHRIS DANIELS: Probably the best team in TNA at the moment. Daniels carrys the team and Skipper is ok sometimes. With Daniels commiting himself to TNA they have one of the best all round workers today. If the team runs its course its time to give Daniels a good solo run to show what he can do with the likes of Styles.

 

Probably the best team? Nope. They ARE the best team. My only problem with this is that Daniels should have been singles now for sometime.

 

HOTSTUFF HERNANDEZ: I honestly thought TNA would have done more with him as he has good ability for his size.

 

Young, so he has potential......but right now they don't need someone like him.

 

JEFF HARDY: Call me a sucker but I think TNA should keep Hardy. He has the appeal and name value. By no means should he be the world champion though. I just wish he would get himself motivated so he could do some of his ladder stuff.

 

WASTE WASTE WASTE WASTE.........did I mention he was a total WASTE?

 

JEFF JARRETT: Here we go! He does not deserve to be on top for as long as he is, hell he should be down the card. He puts himself over at the expense of others, thinks he is a draw when he is not and is not that great of a wrestler anyway. Try telling that to him though. God I wish he was not in power.

 

Doesn't realize how much better the company would be without him on top. Totally foolish how he destroys booking and constantly clusterfucks the show with himself. TNA would be better without him......that's just not going to happen though.

 

JERELLE CLARKE AND MIKEY BATTS: They should be the underdog team that Shark and D Ray get the role of. They have been booked odd so far. 2 big wins followed by 2 total squashes each time. Clarke has a hell of a cool looking finisher as well.

 

These guys might be something to lookout for as they will keep inproving. I say they use them sparringly for right now, but find the right time......and give them a good push.

 

JONNY FAIRPLAY: Im not sure if he has any appeal left anymore. If TNA were set on using him they should have done it as soon as he gave the big plug on that Survivor show.

 

The guys a bigger waste than anyone in the company's history up to this point. Get rid of em.

 

JOHNNY SWINGER/ PAT KENNEY: I put them together as the best thing for both would be to go back together. Kenney can be good. Swinger is mediocre.

 

I didn't mind them when they first came.......now though, they are totally worthless.

 

KAZARIAN AND MICHAEL SHANE: They should stick around. They fit in the tag division more than the X Division and are an ok heel team.

 

I know they serve a purpose......I just haven't figured it out yet. I personally hate them both, but I can understand why they keep them. Just keep them away from all titles.

 

KID KASH: Probably the best heel in TNA at the moment. The only guy who can make the crowd try and hit him in TNA. A lot dont agree but I like his ring work as well. He deserved to win at least one of those matches with AJ.

 

Awesome heel. Definately the best they have at it too. The only thing holding him back is his attitude. If the stuff they were doing was a work.....then why? If it wasn't......he's doing nothing but hurting himself.

 

LA PARK AND PSYCHOSIS: I would bring them back for more shows. They are recognizable and are good workers as well. I hope TNA get them back soon.

 

I agree. I always push more and more for competitors from around the world. It makes them look a lot less busch league......

 

ONYX: Worthless. He looks like he can hardly move.

 

Not bad in Wildside.......not good in TNA.

 

RAVEN: Another cornerstone of TNA. I think he deserves a title run although I dont see it coming. I hope he is back on tv soon as I think the shows are better with Raven around. Give the guy more!

 

I think they may have missed the boat on Raven. Either do something with him.....or put him on creative.

 

RON KILLINGS: Another guy who deserves more. He has done too much to be Monty's whipping boy. Truth could have gone on a good title run but instead he jobs to Jarrett a week later. I hope he goes back to the main event soon.

 

He's a main event guy.....I think that says enough

 

SABU: Good for ECW nostalga but not what he used to be. I have a feeling we may not see him again though.

 

Chalk this one up as pointless.

 

SONJAY DUTT: Great worker who I would love to see have a run with the X Title. He has looked good in his recent matches and can do more yet.

 

Great? Uhhh....that's pushing it. But I do think Sonjay is awesome and they showed promise for him after he took over for Sabu in the Sabu/Raven feud.

 

SONNY SIAKI: Is not being used right at all. Can be good if given the chance.

 

The potential is there.....they just need to change him up a little and kill off the Rock clone stuff.

 

TEAM JAPAN: They can stay, they can go. Not bothered really.

 

I LOVE Japanese wrestling.......so fuck them........they pissed me off like nothing TNA has EVER done......

 

TEAM CANADA: Great heels. Petey is great and so is Devine (the best member in my view). Rude can be a good powerhouse. Im not sold on Eric Young. D'Amore is a good heel manager.

 

I like Team Canada a lot and is probably the best thing for TNA that has come from all of the X-Cup stuff.

So, does anyone else think that one "Redneck Messiah" would be a good fit in TNA?

That would actually be a good gimmick for him.

*Soaks in all the Devine love*

 

He's like a home town hero to me.. although he isn't from my home town. *Bashes Vampiro for deciding to suck and make his town look bad*
