Question #3: Do you think Billy Corgan becoming TNA’s new President will make a difference in direction?
Jay Alletto: Absolutely. Billy is a student of the game and a true wrestling fan. I met him randomly at a PWS show in Jersey years ago and he was simply there hanging out watching the show. That was a true testament to how much he loves the business. Things are definitely going to change.
Eron Ramadanov: No, probably not. Corgan might be running things on the day-to-day basis, but Dixie Carter is still within the company and the creative team has remained the same. Honestly, TNA Wrestling has been that bad as of late. I’ve been watching more and more of the product and I actually enjoy it. Two big problems with the product right now is the atmosphere of the tapings and the lack of depth. Corgan won’t really make a big difference. The company needs money; unless Billy is going to pump in a ton of cash, I don’t see how the company will grow out of what they are currently.
Zak Fellows: It will make a difference in direction and approach in booking and decision making for the show but will it be a sustainable direction of quality? TNA has always had a problem of the shot caller making bad calls from Jeff Jarrett to Dixie Carter. To get rid of the stigma that TNA has managed to build up in alienating viewers and make it difficult for them to stick around, it will take a lot of work and time…assigning someone new to be the one who ultimately has final say is a good start but it is not an instant fix. People have started enjoying Impact Wrestling in recent weeks again but the same could be said about 2012 to 2013 and that did not end well for a lot of people at all did it?
Derek Gifford: I’m not really a TNA fan, so I wouldn’t really know what direction it could go in. I know Dixie was doing an alright job as the head of the company with Bobby Lashley winning nearly all the TNA Titles available but as I said before, I’m not really a TNA fan. If I had to guess, I would say that the company could lead to better things under better management, but we will have to wait and see, I can’t judge yet.
