Tna tried young guys and being different...and didn't get the ratings till it dropped that. Sad truth is tna needs to use the established guys to get the company noticed, once ratings are up to 2's they can be more adventurous, it's hard for them to do all that they want when they are battling just to survive

Yes rating will drop but it is a formula that will work, look the WWE during the Attitude Era. No one knew who Austin was or HBK or the Undertaker was until Vince started putting them on Tv and putting them in main even matches! If Vince had not put the World title around HBK he would have been nothing but IC champion who was upper midcarder at the best if Vince continue to use the proven talent. No Vince roll the dice stood firm when the backlash started and push through it and now you have people like Orton, Edge, Christian, CM Punk, and Jeff Hardy who are all now superstars because of the gamble Vince took back in the 90's. Don't get me wrong I am not a big fan of Vince and the WWE but I will give credit where credit is do Vince knew what it took to overcome WCW and look at where WWE is and WCW is gone.

TNA needs to take the Attitude Era formula and use it to their advantage they have a crop of awesome young talent that are ready to become major players in TNA, but they will not get that shot as long as the proven talent is doing all the main event spots and wrestling for the major titles.

   Like I said there is noting wrong with proven talent because it is good for rating and helps with the younger talent if they are used right, and I am here to say that proven talent is not helping the younger talent at all in TNA. Come on Angle vs Foley is outdated and to be honest Foley is not the wrestler he use to be, then again to quote Cornette Foley is just a glorified  stuntman who time has come and gone. Why not put Angle vs Styles or Daniels or Samoa Joe someone who is going to go out there and cause Angle to take his game to the next level, and like wise cause them to take their game to next level. That right there is what proven talent is suppose to do and they bow out of the spot and let the younger talent proven their selves.

For TNA to make it to the level of the WWE they are going to have to put the future of the promotion in the hands of the younger talent forget about the ratings and let the younger talent carry the promotion, It work for the WWE and it will work for TNA!
