TNA brand split
Let's say TNA is on the verge of creating a second weekly 2-hour show to accompany Impact, and they've asked you to divide the roster. Try
to end up with the same size roster for each show. First do this without firing/hiring anybody, then feel free to re-do it however you want. Also,
specify who the champions of each show are.
The TNA roster page consists of:
Abyss
AJ Styles
Alex Shelley
Anarquia
Angelina Love
Austin Aries
Bobby Roode
Brian Kendrick
Bully Ray
Chris Sabin
Chris Daniels
Christy Hemme
Cookie
Crimson
D'Angelo Dinero
Devon
Don West
Doug Williams
Eric Bischoff
Eric Young
Gunner
Hector Guerrero
Hernandez
Hulk Hogan
James Storm
Jeff Hardy
Jeff Jarrett
Jeremy Borash
Jesse Neal
Karen Jarrett
Kazarian
Kurt Angle
Madison Rayne
Magnus
Matt Hardy
Matt Morgan
Mickie James
Mike Tenay
Mr. Anderson
Ms. Tessmacher
Murphy
Okada
Ric Flair
Rob Terry
Rob Van Dam
Robbie E
Rosita
Samoa Joe
Sangriento
Sarita
Scott Steiner
Shannon Moore
SoCal Val
Sting
Suicide
Tara
Taz
Velvet Sky
Willie Urbina
Winter

Great idea Matte... I spent WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much time on this, but had fun. This is what I'd do...
Spanish announce team will have to pull double duty to cover both shows
Willie Urbina
Hector Guerrero
=========
TNA COLLISION
-the new "B" show, probably in the Saturday night slot.
-The goal for any male on this show is to make it to 'the big time' on Impact.
-The TV title is the 'Main title" of the secondary show, and every male wrestler is pushing for this belt with single minded purpose.
-The TV title is defended EVERY week and every PPV, truly showcasing the champion.
-Each week there will be some sort of competition to see who will be the challenger next week. (one night tournament, gauntlet match, ladder match,
battle royal, lethal lottery, etc.)
-If anyone can hold onto the TV title for 12 consecutive title defenses, they get an automatic shot at any title they want on Impact. Could be the
world title, X title, or tag with a partner of their choosing. If they win the new title, they 'jump' to Impact and it forces an automatic
tournament for the newly vacated TV title. If they lose the title match, they keep the TV title and can start another 12 week 'clock' to
earn another shot.
-I'd also make this show THE destination for women's wrestling, where you can only see great ladies matches by watching this show, or
buying a TNA PPV. (Would likely want to bring in a few more ladies to round it out, but that's not allowed in this excercise.)
Authority Figure:
Ric Flair - Just imagine the promos of him trying to motivate guys to make it, or the creative ways he could find to see who will be the next
challenger... Could be great, and give other guys a chance to hone promo skills with a legend.
Commentary:
Jeremy Borash (who will also act as ring announcer)
Don West
Ring girl:
SoCal Val
TV Title
Champ: Eric Young
Contenders:
Rob Van Dam (just think of the storytelling & history)
Crimson
Samoa Joe
D'Angelo Dinero
Bully Ray
Devon
Chris Daniels
Matt Hardy
Gunner
Scott Steiner
Murphy
Knockouts Championship
Champ: Winter
Contenders:
Angelina Love
Mickie James
Velvet Sky
Knockouts Tag Team Championship
Champs: Tara & Ms. Tessmacher
Contenders:
Rosita & Sarita
Cookie & Madison Rayne
=========
TNA IMPACT
-The "A" show, with the three traditional titles for TNA
-Clearly built up as the 'big time' show.
-Weekly 5 minute segment showing interviews of several Impact stars talking about who they are watching on Collision (with video clips), wondering who
will be the next to make it.
-Show focused on the tag titles and the x division as solid workrate and great matches
-World title will be defended only on PPV, with other Main event players all involved in personal issues and/or struggles to earn the next PPV title
shot.
Commentary:
Mike Tenay
Taz
Ring announcer:
Christy Hemme
Authority Figures:
Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff
-Heel characters, who will forever be able to threaten wrestlers with "if you don't do well enough, I'm sending you to Collision to work
your way back up."
-They could also 'recruit' guys from Collision if they want regardless of TV title status, allowing for story lines with favoritism...
World Title
Champ: Kurt Angle
Contenders:
AJ Styles
Matt Morgan
Sting
Mr. Anderson
Jeff Hardy
Abyss
Jeff Jarrett (always with Karen Jarrett)
Tag Titles
Champs: Bobby Roode & James Storm (Beer Money)
Contenders:
Hernandez & Anarquia (Mexican America)
Jesse Neal & Shannon Moore (Ink Inc)
Doug Williams & Magnus (British Invasion) with backup from Rob Terry
X Division Title
Champ: Brian Kendrick
Contenders:
Alex Shelley
Austin Aries
Chris Sabin
Brian Kendrick
Suicide
Kazarian
Robbie E
Okada
Sangriento
=========

Yep, this is a reminder why I stopped running my e-fed.  lots of hours on fun ideas, and being reminded that feedback is hard to come by.
Curious to see if anyone else comments or tossed out ideas....
"Is it too much to ask that the wrestling on my screen is fast paced, entertaining, interesting, and at least a little bit LOGICAL???"

I keep starting to do this, but then realize that it's more work than I was expecting and I stop. I've done this like three or four times
already. I'll get around to it someday...

I had the same feeling, I'm sad to say I spent like an hour plus doing that. Enjoyable though.
I'm kind of surprised that flammable didn't make a go at this one...
