The MEM is the greatest idea wrestling has had for a decade

TNA needs big names - but it doesnt need main events of old WWE star vs old WCW star

Without the MEM it would be Angle vs Booker T each week - this way you have a 'big' name in a main event, but a TNA guy as the opponent - I dont think people realise the extent this helps the TNA guys

A guy switiching on for the first time doesnt keep a damn about an AJ Styles vs Daniels fight - after all, they dont know who they are

...but A J Styles vs Nash and Daniels vs Booker T - now they KNOW people in that match, so they watch - and then they can see and be impressed by the TNA guys

I started watching TNA because Kurt Angle was there - i dint give a damn about a 'A J Styles' - but then they had a fued (which i watched for Angle) and realised - bloody hell, this Styles chap can really go

Point being - big name gets butts in seats and gives the TNA guys enough time to impress

Now TNA doesnt always do the matches right - AJ's lost against Nash at the PPV was the right result - but the wrong match, Styles should have been screwed, he should have dominated and be cruelly denied - in the end a clean pin was a mistake

TNA needs to totally reboot the X Division though - double the rooster and have the X Division title matches as just behind the Heavyweight Title - if there is an X Division title match on Impact it should always be the main event

...but what TNA really needs is money

It needs to look like it doesnt need your business - WWE looks like it would get along fine if you never watched agains, it almost screams 'we dont need you'

...and thats how big companies work - they impress you with their power, TNA looks too indie and too fragile

There must be a billionaire wrestling fan who can turn the Impact zone into some sort of Cathedral to Violence....
