Thanks to several months of decent shows that had the company making significant gains in public perception, TNA developed more than a little hubris and decided that the time was right to take the fight directly to the 1 show in town. TNA Impact became a live show that would air on Monday nights, with the first hour airing unopposed, then directly competing with Raw for the second hour.

But no, Hogan was also involved heavily in a behind-the-scenes role in TNA, and while nobody was going to let him book himself as the World Champion or anything, his influence did still lead to many decisions that helped cripple TNA in a variety of ways.

But Hogan also pushed for TNA to leave the Impact Zone and start touring, incurring massive production expenses that the company was unable to offset with ticket sales, and which also left them without a home once the experiment failed, thanks to Universal Studios giving the building to someone else in the interim. The problem was, TNA saw ratings from the original Monday Night Wars and assumed that by being an alternative to WWE, they had cornered the market on disaffected WCW fans who had stopped watching wrestling altogether when WWE bought the company, and that formed the majority of their fanbase and television viewership.

In order to compete with WWE, you have to offer a wrestling product that is somehow unique, and different from what they provide. However, after leaning on those divisions to build the company, when TNA decided to go up against WWE directly, they stopped trying to be unique and instead tried to emulate their competitors. However, the real problem was that almost without exception, whenever a former WWE Superstar came into the company, they were instantly portrayed as being far more important and better than wrestlers that had been with TNA since the beginning.

By the time TNA figured this out and turned to their homegrown stars i. Points were tracked, with a leaderboard displayed regularly during Impact, and most of the weekly programming was devoted to the Series. Many fans, over the years, have begged wrestling companies to occasionally treat their product somewhat like a legitimate sport, and the Bound For Glory series did exactly that.

Big Big Sky. Big South. This likely what many feel would be the most positive aspect. The Ultimate X match, which is a beloved favorite of many TNA fans, would likely never be had again due to the sheer dangerousness of the match.

The Lethal Lockdown cage match would be scrapped in its entirety because it would closely resemble the "Extreme Elimination Chamber" match to WWE fans whom have never seen one.

TNA has begun to tour a little but not nearly as much as WWE, which airs from a different stadium each week.

Vince would probably move Impact around as much as he does Smackdown or Raw. Actually I take that back Impact would probably become what ECW would be like with a 2 hour time slot. The six sided ring would probably be scrapped for the standard 4 corner style.

Sting would likely leave because he doesn't really like Vince because of what he did to WCW. As of now TNA lacks a drug policy which in case there are probably at least a few wrestlers there addicted to something. Who knows who it is?
