I don't see the point of having guys on the roster just to put over other guys.  If you want jobbers, you can bring them in independently.  Time is an issue, the less faces and names the fans have to remember, the better.

 

 

Because you need guys who you know can work an effective match and who can provide you with accurate feedback and anaylsis of young and new wrestlers as well as actually teach them how to work a match. You can't do that by bringing in new independant guys each week. This is what the WWE uses Steven Richards and Val Venis.

If you think someone like A1 can develop into something close to Val Venis, you're sadly mistaken.

I've seen David Young wrestle on the indy scene and he's a very sound wrestler. He won't be a Heavyweight champ. Probably not even a middle class champ. But if there was a TV title or something like that, he would do really well in that position. Just go back to when he would wrestle Sonny Siaki in the first year or so of TNA. I think that David Young is actually one good push away from the fans liking him. He's a good wrestler, ok on the mic and he's got a NICE finisher. He even looked a lot cooler with his old tights. I saw him and AJ Styles have an AWESOME 2 out of 3 falls match and this was back when AJ was was that in the snotty upstart heel character on TNA before he really got to be a name for the company

If it was up to me all wrestlers who fit the following criteria would be fired:

 

. Any bland wrestlers. By bland i do not mean guys who cannot give decent promos, but rather guys who look like anyone you will meet in the street who plod through pedantic, *kick punch* matches with all of their strikes looking bland.

 

. All wrestlers with gimmicks that just scream indy. Now that there doing mainstream television, acts like Shark Boy just wont work. He may be good for arena shows, but on television he will just come off as incredibly bush league.

 

. The current booking team. So they thought that 4 title changes in quick sucssesion was a good idea? Hell no! It just made future title changes seem less important, and eliminates the intangible chase factor for Raven and Rhino. Stuff like A.J Styles (the babyface) cheap shotting Christopher Daniels after he had defeated 2 wrestlers is just utterly counterproductive.

 

. Certain X Division wrestlers. The X Division is one of the main things that separates TNA from WWE, but they have too many wrestlers of the same high spot orientated style. The X Division's appeal very much lies in the high spot's, but if TNA has too many wrestlers doing it then the spots will start to lose their appeal.

 

. Certain hosses. They are a good idea in theory since they make the threat of certain wrestlers (whether they are managing them or pitted against them) seem bigger, but like the X Division situation it starts to wear thin.

 

 

TNA have a shitload of other problems that i am sure will be higlited in another thread, but if i were choosing what talent to cut that would be it.
