This topic will be about the future of TNA Wrestling in 2011.
I have been watching TNA for about 6 years now from when the X Division was the main factor in TNA to Sting and Kurt Angle arriving to The Main Event Mafia vs Frontline Feud to Having Bischoff and Hogan arriving and taking over.
To know the future of TNA Wrestling in 2011 you got to see the pro's and cons of what happened in 2011.
Things TNA wrestling did right in 2010:
1. Turning Jeff Hardy Heel:
Now i know there was some mixed feelings about this when the turn occured at Bound For Glory and at first i didn't think it was the best idea and I was a bit skeptical of it at first but I could see that Jeff Hardy plays the heel role very well, He has a unique look with his hair and tattoo's and his Mic skills really improved and cut some really good promo most notably to the one talking about Friendship in Pro Wrestling.

2. Having A Great Tag Team Division:
One thing TNA do very well is keeping Tag Team Wrestling alive unlike WWE who give the titles to Santino and Kozlov and diminish the legacy of the Titles. TNA have some really good teams with Beer Money Inc, Generation Me, Ink Inc and The Motorcity Machine Guns. What all the teams have In-Common is each Tag Team partner work well together and the Tag Teams always work well together when there in the ring against each other. Generation Me vs Motorcity Machine Guns was awesome to watch they clicked instantly with there similar wrestling styles both teams being high fliers and pulled off some epic matches and got to have 4 PPV Matches against each other this year, personal favourite of mine was the Ultimate X at Destination X. The Highlight of Tag Team Wrestling in 2010 was the Beer Money Inc vs Motorcity Machine Guns feud from the best five of series which had team wrestle on iMPACT every week having a street fight to a Ultimate X to a 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match to close the series which was defintely a awesome match and there match at Victory Road was probably the best Tag Team Match i had seen in about 10 years. TNA solidified Tag Team Wrestling in 2010.
Things TNA Did Not Do Right in 2010:
1. Hiring Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff:
Now I dont mind Eric Bischoff and all this is basically going to be on Hogan.
Why Hire Hulk Hogan and have him take control when half the time he isnt going to be at the show/taping and instead going to be in a Hospital bed after having god knows how many back surgeries this year. I heard Hogan is making about 3 Million in his 2 year contract. Why give him that kind of money when he isnt going to be at the show or taping at all. All I say is TNA made a major stuff in bringing Hogan In TNA.
2. Attempting to Re-Create the Monday Night Wars:
A year before this was happening TNA was doing some of it's best work and feel 2009 ws infact the best year for TNA. A year later Hogan & Bischoff come in and announced TNA will be going head to head against Raw on Monday and said that iMPACT will get a 3.0 Rating. The January 4th Show got a 1.5 Rating and Raw got a 3.7 Rating with Bret Hart returning. Yes, TNA got there highest rating ever but they still got killed and I wonder what people would rather see, Hogan return to TNA for the like 50th time or Bret Hart someone who is respected in the Wrestling business make a return after not appearing on TNA for nearly 13 years. The Mondays War happened for about a month and TNA were getting killed as low to getting a 0.5 Rating. They then went back to Thursday Night which was the right decision. TNA wasn't strong enough yet to stand up to WWE and Hogan couldn't wait for it to happen and pulled the trigger way to early. It's like Hogan thinks with him in TNA people will watch it and the ratings will go up. I dont think anybody really cares about Hogan too more, He is washed up and past his prime.
3. Fortune/Immortal:
NW0 4.0, enough said.
TNA should have kept Fortune separate as I like the idea of Fortune they have some good young talent in the group and they mesh really well just putting them with Immortal bugs me. Putting them in Immortal with Kazarian, Beer Money Inc and even "AJ Styles" just make's them look like lackeys and make them look not as important.
4. Knockout's Division:
The Knockouts Division was one of the best thing happening in TNA from 2007 to 2009 and this year although it isnt bad and still way better then WWE, It's has really looked weak losing Awesome Kong, Taylor Wilde & ODB all who were important knockouts in the Division. It isn't that bad but just not as good.
5. Having a Good PPV:
TNA have had some good PPV's but the main problem they have is the undercard succeed in making the first 2 hours enjoyable to watch then the last hour with the 2 or 3 main event matches to go they are Overbooked, The matches arent enjoyable and make you feel pissed off, TNA need to fix there booking issues when it comes to the top matches because the under-card is working its nuts off for very little end product. Which is a shame, because most of the PPV 's are good it's just the top matches that ruin them.
Things TNA Can Improve in 2011?
1. Make PPV'S on the road:
I know TNA cant go on the road for iMPACT but at least take the PPV's on the road, you will have a better audience, better venue and can probably get a better fanbase out of it. Even do some Live iMPACT's on the road aswell. Not saying every week just like once or twice every 3 Months or After every PPV or something.
2. Get Rid of Hogan:
I don't think I need to explain again.
3. Push your younger talent:
TNA have done an alright job with this with Jay Lethal, Matt Morgan, Motor City Machine Guns, Beer Money Inc, The Pope & Kazarian but at the same time they have made EricYoung look bad making not relevant more then once after getting a push and other's like Orlando Jordan, Brian Kendrick, Magnus & Desmond Wolfe.
4. Push Samoa Joe.
He needs to be the Unstoppable Samoan Submission Character back in 2006 and 2007. He was Popular and Over with the fans now he's jobbing to the old guys and it's making him look bad.
5. The Knockout's Division:
Not going to say much about it's good but can be alot better like in 2007, 2008 and 2009 with Mickie James and Wynter(Katie Lea Burchill) I can see The knockouts doing alright.
I feel TNA can get better in 2011, but we can only watch and see what happens.
