This could be the only way that TNA/Impact Wrestling/Global Force finally turns a profit.

In the aftermath of ECW going under and WWE acquiring WCW, there was a void in the industry for an alternative to the almighty Vince McMahon. One family, with no other options to stay in the business they dedicated their lives to, decided to fill that void by launching a new promotion full of older, established names mixed with young guys looking to get a break.

The series could document the family strife between Jerry and Jeff Jarrett, veterans like Scott Hall and Ken Shamrock realizing the twilight of their careers, and the X-Division athletes hellbent on redefining the art.

The first show alone would make for an entertaining episode: obese newcomer Cheex breaking the ropes right before going live on pay-per-view, the debut of wrestling penises The Johnsons, Toby Keith suplexing Jarrett. Nonfans would be flabbergasted to learn that the company still exists today.
