Details on TNA's New Creative Direction Starting Tonight - New Talent

- At the time, TNA's plan is to focus on younger and new talent going forward. Officials have been talking a lot with young talent that have never been pushed on a national TV level. The idea is to bring in the talent and give them new gimmicks and personas, similar to what they have done with Samuel Shaw and Ethan Carter III. This week's set of Impact tapings are supposed to feature a new direction, featuring several of the new talents.

Abyss works as an agent & on TNA creative, so he's not going anywhere. Roode & Storm are still under contract for awhile. Eric is starting a second and possibly third Animal planet show, I doubt they'll let him due to cross-promotion/exposure for TNA.

Can they bring in shark boy to do a match with ey just off exposure and animal stuff? Blackfish on a poll match!

Virtually no reason to watch TNA now.

Um,,,, What youung talent? They have let them all get away.

From what I am hearing, Allot of the TNA mainstays have new inspiration not to re-sign with Dixie and reasons to run besides the cluster fuck that is TNA. Daniels and Kaz in particular are still very close to Jeff Jarrett and were said to have been upset over the years by how TNA treated the man that created the company. For what it is worth Abyss and James Bobby Roode were also huge JJ supporters. Lets see what happens with the announcement lurking.

If i ever find my old cell phone, I will get some confirmation directly from someone involved, lol

Young talent = Bobby Lashley

Him, that willow fella whoever he is and "SO UNIQUE" Sam Shaw

Things are looking up

To be fair, TNA has been utilizing a lot more newer talent as of late. Bobby Lashley aside, the majority of the wrestlers being highlighted as of late have never really been stars on a national level (Magnus, Gunner, EC3, Rockstar Spud, The BroMans, The Wolves, Samuel Shaw, Sanada, Tigre Uno).

As good as a lot of their talent has been over the years, they have been in need of freshening things up with the roster. We've seen so many of the same matches and feuds for years, that even if it's good, it gets stale after a while.

However, it would be a huge disappointment if Kaz & Daniels don't remain with TNA, as they are excellent talent that still have plenty to offer the promotion.
