5. Build Up OVW To Persuade Some Independent Talent To Join
The fact that TNA now has an effecrive developmental territory of its own is already a massive step forward in their pursuit of WWE's spot as the most dominant wrestling organisation. However, it will be a long time before OVW reaches the level it once was as part of the WWE system, and it will be a while to meet the same stature as FCW due to the exposure that company gets through the broadcast of NXT. WWE has done impressively in this part in helping bring reasonable exposure to some of the younger talent that is coming through the ranks in the developmental leagues, and make them more familiar to smart wrestling fans when they finally make their debut on the grand stages of RAW and Smackdown. This also entices more independent stars to join, as they will have access to greater television exposure immediately despite being a part of the training territory. Whilst it will be virtually impossible for TNA to get OVW its own short television spot, it would possibly benefit the company to give it a few minutes of exposure on episodes of Impact Wrestling. For instance, after wrestlers earn a contract through the extremely long Gut Chek segments, perhap their progress could be tracked more thoroughly in OVW, and making use of their backstories to familiarise the wrestlers and knockouts with fans before they arrive on the main shows. Also, perhaps in enticement to have young, talented independent wrestlers join OVW would be occasional matches to earn a contest on Impact Wrestling during Open Fight Night. This would give the fans a greater understanding of the processes of OVW and importantly give the talent a chance to show their potential worth to the company by wrestling a match against established stars in front of a packed audience.
