I've decided that when 2009 starts (I'm on Christmas Eve 2008, btw), I'm going to have TNA do what WWE tried to do and failed.
I'm bringing back ECW.
So far, I've got a handful of ECW workers signed, and I'm waiting for more guys' contracts to run out with WWE. What I have so far:
2 Cold Scorpio
Al Snow
Balls Mahoney
Beulah McGillicuddy
Chris Chetti
Christian York
CW Anderson
Danny Doring
The Dudley Boyz
Johnny Swinger
Little Guido
New Jack
Nova
Perry Saturn
Rhino
Shane Douglas
Simon Diamond
Spike Dudley
Steve Corino
Terry Funk
The Blue Meanie
Tommy Dreamer
Still needs some work, but I'm thinking about doing something along these lines. Terry Funk is on the TNA Board of Directors. He'll turn heel and announce the formation of the ECW brand. His first big acquisitions will be the new TNA Tag Team Champions (who won the belts at Turning Point) Rhino and Steve Corino. They will pretty much reform the old Network stable (with Tajiri as soon as his WWE contract runs out). They'll get preferential treatment in the new ECW.
Tommy Dreamer will be hurt that his idol didn't confide in him that he was planning this, and will wind up leading the resistance against Funk. The former Team 3D will go back to their original names and turn face to align with Dreamer against the team that beat them for the TNA (now ECW) Tag Team Titles.
My interest in my TNA game was waning, but I think this should perk it back up. TNA will keep my Monday night slot because I'll want the bigger stars to be going up against RAW. ECW will get the Sunday night slot.
