I would also put more superstars on the brand, and bring back more ECW originals. I would also expand it to 2 hours. If I were in charge of TNA, I would stop copying storylines and ideas from WWE and come up with my own. I would also improve the set they have, they have the same set for every event.

Community-asked questions
- 1. What would be your Eddie Guerrero and Undertaker dream match? (from SexySeaShark)
- A: My Eddie Guerrero dream match would be Eddie vs Chris Benoit, because they were one of the best technical wrestlers I have ever seen, and to see them lock up again would be my dream. My dream Undertaker match would be The Undertaker vs Sting, they have so many similar gimmicks and they have never wrestled each other and that would be a Hell of a match, either way 'taker would win.
Any optional comments by the interviewee I wish to become an Administrator one day.
