202	Philip Towson	Having been to TNA house shows and enjoyed these so much better than WWE I cannot understand why so many Impact and PPVs are so bad. I think that with the undeniable quality of the wrestlers on the TNA roster compared to those on all 3 WWE rosters this company should be the leading wrestling promotion. The reason it is not cannot be put down to the extremely hard working talent who do their very best with every 'storyline' they are given. It has to come from the insane booking and writing. For more clarification watch the Booker T/Samoa Joe storyline from the last two paper views. Come on TNA you should be the best!
203	adam thompson	i preferred tna during the days where the X division was so strong with Joe, Styles, Daniels and with simple, easy to follow storylines. I can't follow the tna storylines as of late because they are just too confusing to keep up with. please keep it simple, like you were doing only 2-3 years ago. It was working, you just need to have patience! Thankyou if you have read this.
204	Saiid	TNA wtf happened to you guys, your booking sucks dicks. Fire the people that were booking matches after mid 2006. Kill the person that made AJ STYLES A LITTLE BITCH , fire MATT MORGAN, he sucks u cant have that guy come every week wining against jobber. BRING BACK THE X DIVISION , IT MADE TNA THE BEST, IT PUT TNA ON THE MAP

206	tim	The gimmick matches are ruining TNA. Also the cartoonish storylines. Too many little wrestlers. The announcers are horrible.
207	tom batchelor	use the x devision more

209	Anonymous	I have not been a die hard TNA fan like most. I was not one, that would spend money to watch them on a weekly ppv before the TV deals began. I am not one that watched them on the Fox-sports netwrok all the time, due to in part of not having the network, until before I moved from the area that had it. But I have become a fan. I still watch WWE more often, but TNA is no dout the next huge company to go tow to toe with WWE. I love the TNA stars that went there, from other companys. Like Booker, Angel, and Christain. I am aslo a big fan of sting. But for TNA to be what it is ment to be, They need to branch out in the direction of more shows, to cover talent that have. I know a TV deal for a new show is not going to happen anytime soon. But what about a free web cast? Thereare, and was stars that was not used right, or enough, then left. I have heard that TNA people laughed at Chris Harries when he was let go in WWE. But the fact is, he wasn't used right. He isn't and will not be the only one if they don't concider to give young talent a way to be invlved in TNA other then on paper, or such. To give the show, to top stars, is a good idea, but to hand it to them on a silver plater, just by walking into the company like Angel and such is crazy. I unserstand, and see why they are thoughen right into a world title hunt. But to make the shows around them in a matter of weeks, is silly. I had a real hard time watching WWE back in the day when HHH was the focal. Back when the DX was being made as a major heel when Austin was hurt. Now why would I watch TNA for the same crap thats been done before? WWE dose the same thing. I know wrestling stories are limited. That the older stories can and should be used again under the right situations, and the right time frame from the past. But TNA was buid on a new eara. A High Flying, HardCorish, Holy Shit Chant style. TNA dose have to evolve to avoid major stars getting hurt to often for doing th dangerouse stuff, but thats what made TNA where it is now. Raven, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, ect. Also the fact that TNA's Tag team division was what it was suppost to be. TNA has the same probelms WWE has. So many stars, limited time on the shows. But instead of useing that, have 4 stars in a tag team, they through single stars into a tag match,,, Where is the AMW? The Naturals? And now, they are going to split LAX? That pretty much leaves the Dudleys and Motar City Machine Guns,,, which is a redicualas team to begin with, but works non the less. Give Booker, Angel, Sting, ect time on the tv show, but make a web cast to show the talents of the other stars, and a platform to grom on. They will be needed in the future if TNA is meant to last past this stage. And bring back the Tag Teams. No crapy 80's retro gimmic, or single guys put together like "Beer Money". I want my AMW. ect....... Where is the Hart Foundation, Demolition, and such when you need them.....?
210	Braden Walker	I agree.
211	David Knight	Please cut back on storylines, focus on creating a solid in-ring product that people will pop for time and time again (and no I don't mean the trained monkey's in the impact zone). In addition to cutting back on storylines, I feel that the gimmick given to each wrestler must be consistent and people must know what to expect from them. So when their music hits you know what's coming next. It seems now any of the wrestlers could be coming out for any number of reasons.. we don't know what to expect therefore the crowd is dead silent most of the time. Remember Steve Austin? He was as predictable as sun rise but he still got an uncanny pop. You know why? Because with him, came what the fans wanted. He was the cure to all the problems with NO EXCEPTION. People grew to expect this and thus created a dynamite gimmick. One last point, use your airtime for Impact more effectively. Many promos/video packages could be cut back, merged into another form, or just put over by the announcers during their entrances thus creating space for longer matches, or an additional match etc. TNA, pay attention to your critics, and your product will be fixed so much faster. Die-hard fans like me are all too willing to tell you exactly to your face what they think is wrong which contrasts to the casual fan who will just switch channels without a peep. Sure you may not agree with every point, but you can get a general consensus from a great initiative like this petition.
212	Anonymous	I have to agree with this petition. I thought TNA was going to be the other option to WWE. Your just trying to mimick the WWE. The storylines are horrible, this is the exact reason why I do not buy Tna pay per views. The first Samoa Joe- Booker T match and the only way to get out of it is to have Sharmelle count the pin. Sorry That is terrible writing and booking. I really do hope there is a change in Tna. Losing Gail Kim is a mistake. Please try harder TNA.
213	Dan	I strongly agree with the fact that there should be less specialty matches and be more focus on in-ring writing and overall performance.
214	Tim Warner	I Think T.N.A. Wrestling Was Great In The Early Years When They Focused Mainly On Fast-Paced Chain Wrestling and Not So Much Gimmicks and Storylines. I Know Since They Got On Spike They Have To Stories To Gain More Female Viewers or What Have You But I Know T.N.A. Can Do Better Then That and I Think It's Time For Them To Take Over For Wrestling Where E.C.W. Left Off By Just Putting On Good Matches and Not Worrying About The Network.

216	Kyle Marsh	TNA! TNA! TNA!
217	Kyle Marsh	TNA! TNA! TNA!
218	Richard Avonlea	Dear TNA, How can you produce such a terrible TV show and such consistently terrible PPVs with the best talent roster in the world? Maybe the wrestlers aren't the problem. Stop burying your head in the sand and look to the creative team already. Russo, Mantel, and Jarrett have had their chance. Bring back Scott D'Amore or, ideally, bring in Paul Heyman. TNA's problems are not incurable when tackled by the right minds.
219	Shane O'Keeffe	Make TNA interesting again
220	Cedrick	I have some issues with TNA. First of all I think TNA needs to stop trying to revive legendary wrestlers into the newer superstars. I want to see Jay Lethal as himself, not Macho Man and Sharkboy not mimicking Stone Cold. I want TNA to act more like a wrestling company its suppose to be, giving fans what they want to see, new wrestlers developing into legends. Also, TNA needs to stop making washed up WWE stars championship contenders as soon as they enter the company because it is not fair to the guys who been in the company since day one. TNA should allow their home grown talent to make a name for TNA.
221	Anonymous	I hate WWE, and don't want TNA to turn into something that wrestling fans like me hate, just in an attempt to try and compete. Keep doing the things that set you apart, and be as little 'like' WWE as possible. As far as booking, I hate to say it but get rid of the old, slow talent that were old and slow even in WCW, like Kevin Nash. He is painfully horrid to watch in the ring, and completely throws off the understood 'pace' of TNA wrestling that we all know and love. Also, Taylor Wilde should have never gotten the TNA championship, especially over Kong. Wilde is terrible in the ring, she looks like a WWE diva. If anyone, it should have been Gail Kim, that girl can wrestle. However in my opinion, Kong was stripped of the title way too early. It's not often that you get a female competitor of her intimidation level, so I think it should have been treated like a 'Goldberg' type angle with a long streak of wins. Keep an emphasis on storylines, something that WWE has forgotten, and keep developing good young talent, and keeping your eyes open for when WWE cuts good talent..(good job signing Daviari).
222	Craig DeBoard	Right now, I have NO interest in the TNA product. And that's sad because I'm a huge fan. TNA to me was an alternative to what was being offered already from WWE. But for the last year to year and a half the booking and writing to me seems to be just a watered down version of WWE. TNA used to be about competition. But lately it seems its been more about soap opera. And that's great. i love WWE. i love their soap opera storylines. But what I loved about TNA was that I could get away from the soap opera storylines and watch some good solid wrestling. But TNA seems to have gotten away from that, and I really hope they'd get back to it.
223	Mark Steele	I have been extremely disappointed with the booking on TNA in recent months. I still believe that TNA has the best roster in professional wrestling, but the excessive use of gimmick matches, excessive violence and joke endings (interference) is detracting from the product. I would like to see a return to the days when the TNA talent were allowed to show their talent - as in the recent World X Cup - every week. The product is in danger of becoming "WWE in a six-sided ring". I stopped watching WWE two years ago because it was so boring.
224	Anonymous	More wrestling! Less TO THE BACK! Less Dusty finishes! More X-Division, and please stop burying MMG!
225	Anonymous	1) FIRE RUSSO 2) ??? 3) PROFIT!!!
226	Malcolm Spinedi	1. The X Dividison has been focused on less and less. This saddens me as it was the reseaon to watch TNA. 2.. The gimmick matches are getting a little ludicrious. Reverse battle royals, Terror Dome, etc. Its really bad when after 3 weeks of build up for a ppv match, and I still don't know the rules for it. Also, its seems like a I see a regular one fall match less and less, then compared to a ladder match or street fight. 3. Joe doesn't come off as a face to me anymore. Most promos he goes off mostly like either a cocky heel or a whiney heel. To be fair, I don't know if this is necessarily your fault, but something should be said to him. I'm sorry at this point, I'll still cheer for Sting over Joe. 4. Stop immediately pushing ex-WWE guys so hard right out of the get. . When you guys sign Christian (I love the character, and all but lets face it, he was a midcarder in WWE) and gets pushed immediately to the world title in less then a year. Dudleys were a great example of how to bring in the new guys, as they jobbed heavily to AMW and LAX. But ex WWE guys should not be pushed to the moon cause they came from the WWE. 5. Also, don't push TNA guys just because they start acting like ex WWE guys. Whether you know it or not, Shark boy going from Jobber to badass just cause he copies Stone Cold Steve Austin, or Petey becoming X dividsion champ by copying Steiner, gives a negative impression about your homegrown talent.
227	sarkis	Seriously, get back on being "Non stop action". What the hell are you guys doing? Your fans are chanting "boring" during a Jay Lethal/Sonjay Dutt match. Those two guys are the future of nonstop action wrestling, get it right!
228	Dennis Kristensen	First of i'd like to say that i still would choose TNA over WWE anyday but in my mind it's still on the way down. I'm a BIGGGGGG fan of the x-division but that have been cut down alot, instead TNA fills it's roster with OLD wwe/wcw talents and i'm very much against that, if i wanted them i would stick to WWE. Instead of old wwe/wcw wrestlers TNA should look at the younger ROH wrestlers for an example. TNA is pretty well know by now and there for don't need all the hasbeens. TNA have never been better then back when we had matches between daniels, styles & Joe for the x-division belt. Just my two cents.
229	kyle starks	TNA has such great talent - it's a shame to see such poor story ideas, wasted talent in bizarre match ups, characters entirely misused and confusing, often seemingly pointless story ideas. I'm a huge fan of wrestling but I can't sit through an entire show beginning to end - it's that bad. and again, it's a shame because some of the talent is simply amazing.
230	Mitchell Ramplin	the thing that annoys me the most about TNA lately is all the gimmick title matches what happened to straight forward 1 on 1 singles matches
231	Matt Smith	Enough soap opera stuff! Get back to wrestling! Don't become an immitation of WWE!
232	sean
233	Matt Pickstock	I watched TNA back in the Weekly PPV days religiously. Lately they have lost me over many of their booking decisions. I approved of them pushing talent that wasn't known, but now it seems like a WWE Reject Retirement Ground.... Come on TNA... You have the ability to do better!
234	Kyle Vaughn	I have been a wrestling fan for 20 years now and I waould love to see TNA be able to compete with the WWE because lets face it the WWE doesn't have the best writing and matches either. TNA needs to make some changes like a new championship to the mix, They also need to go back to the great X division action that put them on the map in the first place, When TNA started they had exciting matches that did not necessarily have to be hardcore and they were fast-paced and exciting and you don't see that as much.. I think they should switch Curry Man back to Christopher Daniels it was alot better character and fit good with TNA. Quit trying to form tag teams I don't wanna se Matt Morgan & Abyss, I wanna see Matt Morgan vs. Abyss. I believe Kevin Nash is in the way character wise, he is a good booker but his glory days are gone. I wanna see good hardcore matches. I think TNA doesn't thrive in Orlando either the fans are boring and thats what I do not like I mean TNA puts out better matches than WWE but the wrestlers get too much time off I mean you can't build good rivalries when people do not show up for shows every week I mean I know thats how TNA gets talent is by giving more time off and other things but you would atleast think this talent could show up for tapings. That is another thing which is huge TNA needs to be live and it hurts not to be live that is huge. I personally do not watch much WWE programming anymore as I used to love WWE. I am a fan of TNA I just believe they had the right idea at first but they have back tracked in there product the past couple years. I mean I see talent like Kip James, BG James, Kevin Nash, Rock n Rave, and Sharkboy and others who just aren't used right and I know B.G AND Kip have to be the biggest waste of money because they are never wrestling and they show up like they are there every week and I don't like that. I believe TNA has done good with Kurt Angle and A.J Styles and even Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt but they do not highlight those rivalries good enough. I like the team of Beer Money they are two great talents who know how to work. I like what TNA does with Booker T although Booker T is over rated in TNA and over rated period. I like Team 3D but let Brother Ray loose more on the microphone he can talk but let him get looser with his words. Also why isn't Christian in the main events? He is great and needs more T.V time. Samoa Joe was better when he was in the X division or atleast his matches were better but I do like his character but theres not enough hype. Quit having Matt Morgan wrestle jobbers its pathetic he can't be the next big thing in TNA if all he's doing is wrestling jobbers and tag teaming with Abyss. I just want more great matcheslike they were back from 03-06. If you want to be different do what you were doing before and quit focusing on everyone who used to be in WWE ecspecially when you have better talent with the people who weren't in WWE with the exception of Angle and Jarrett.. I think its good to mix it up. Orlando fans suck and all I want TNA to do is be able to make it war again.. TNA PLEASE GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE I PROMISE, THE WWE IS NOT A GOOD PRODUCT AND THEY ARE ALL ENTRANCE AND NO ACTION.. REMEMBER JUST BECAUSE THEY COME FROM WWE DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE TO BE CHAMPION
235	Bottom	Less gimmick matches, no more MCMG masks and no more hero-squad. The fans want good old Christopher Daniels.
236	Bottom	Less gimmick matches, no more MCMG masks and no more hero-squad. The fans want good old Christopher Daniels.

239	Hikari	Yes, we want new bookers with fresh storylines.
240	Matt	TNA should give WWE a run for its money!
241	Anonymous	I definitely agree with Angle, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles being at the top of the card. I don't see Jeff Jarrett as anything but a midcarder. Rock N Rave infection are good for nothing except getting squashed and Christy Hemme is awful and unattractive.
242	kenny	i would like to say imo tna is better then wwe to be but in a way i miss the old weekly ppv style. mostly because we dont get much of the X-Division these days. i wanna see more high flyers and less skits/promos. its starting to fall into the wwe's hole of having more skits and promos then wrestling and highflying action

250	Drew Furie	Not terribly displeased with the current booking. Was a little concerned about the over-use of the "old school" boys, (Sting, Steiner, ect.). But now things seem to be under control. Putting them all in one stable was a good move. -Should tottaly sign Steven Richards!!!
