As far as i was aware Dreamer was brought to TNA in a backstage capacity. He's got years of experience in major companies and he helped with the running of ECW, so its not too bad of a signing. As he's there anyways it makes sense and costs nothing to get him in on this ECW storyline.

As for the rest of TNA, D you were asking how they can bring in these stars and the ratings still fall. Booking aside, and theres plenty of problems with the booking, TNA as a business needs to change. It is run in a **** poor fashion. They are so far behind the WWE on marketing, promotion, brand awareness its unreal. They kick the most profitable parts of the company, merch and house shows, into the dust and dont give a ****. Some of the places they go and do house shows in are laughable. Someone explain to me the business stratergy of avoiding big cities at all costs?! They just dont have a clue. Hogan is the most well known man in wrestling and he does interviews where he doesnt even mention TNA! His whole job there should be getting TNA's name in as many TV interviews, magazines, newspapers etc. that is humanly possible. This is Hogans true value, not seeing him try and wrestle when hes nearly 60 and can hardly walk! Its not just one area either, they really need to completely change the way the business operates before it can start to grow. Doing 4 major PPV's a year and 8 monthly free specials seems to me to be a good move. They could probably get away with charging abit more for the ones that are shown on PPV and it would definatly make those events much more anticipated.
