With all the Logos, Features, Main Players and
Objectives in place over the TNA#Rebooted Sections, here is where everything
comes into play in this, the Big Reboot Finale. So I present to you my whole Design take on how I would Present and Restructure the big Pay-Per-View TNA Shows,
#Rebooted Style!
PPVs and
Supershows
Now at present, TNA broadcasts a total of 12
Pay-Per-View shows a year, and out of this the Big 4 PPVs are; Genesis,
Lockdown, Slammiversary and Bound for Glory.
So for this version of the PPV yearly schedule,
I’m going to keep with the Big 4, as well as add into the mix DestinationX, as
this one really captures the unique qualities of TNA. As for the rest of the
card, I’m turning the remaining PPVs into a style of Supershows, or as I’m
going to rename them; MainEvent Shows.
Now these MainEvent Shows will run with the same
formula as a PPV in terms of Title defences and longer running matches, but
with the big difference being they’ll be aired on FreeTV (with commercials) as
3 hour long Impact Specials.
The idea or argument for this Supershow concept
is in response to poor PPV sales (in all wrestling companies) and evidence of
less emphasis or attention given to marketing these smaller shows. With the new
format in place, there would be a much smoother transition between the house
shows to the specials (aired at the same TV time), giving viewers a better
chance to see the rivalry conclusions and therefore follow the developments
easier. So with more viewers able to come onboard with the weekly Impact and
MainEvent Shows, the build for the big Pay-Per-Views can be given more Time, Energy and Attention for major Advertising and Marketing.
Designs & Layouts
So before I go into more detail on the PPVs and Specials,
firstly here’re the main Logo Designs for the 2 main types of shows. And for
Design purposes, I’ve themed the PPVs in Gold and the MainEventShows in Silver,
while keeping with the full titled TNA Impact Wrestling Logo:
These colour schemes will be themed into the Posters, DVDs and PPV/MainEvent Shows, to completely give each event its own Identity and Recognition.

Rebooted TNA PPV/MainEvent Show
So to continue on with giving some Identity to
each event, I’ve added a few new Names and Themes to the MainEvent Shows. The
object here is to give each one a distinct feel and make each one more Memorable and Standout, as well as presenting the titles in a fresh and modern
style.
So with that said, here’s a Preview and rundown
of the New Year in TNA:
Booking the Shows
To add a spot of Realism to this Section, I’ve made an attempt to add the Matchups and Booking decisions. Now the whole point to this presentation really isn’t about the booking (I’ll leave that to the bigger boys), but I’ve given it some thought and tried to add some logic and reason to the lineups as far as the roster goes. (Though please Note; due to some recent changes, some matches may no longer be possible- although I’ve scheduled this for 2013, so it could definitely still happen!).

Extra Notes:
I’ve nicknamed the X-Division the X-D or X-D
Title, simply for design purposes.
I’ve given the TV-Title a more prestigious role
as in filling the gap that lies between the X-D and World Title. The idea here
is that anyone in or around these titles has the chance to compete for the
TV-Title. Plus the Title is defended frequently on house-shows (at least twice
monthly) and if held for a worthy amount of time, can give the holder a World
Title shot if traded in (much like the Money in the Bank briefcase).
So with all said and done, I hope you enjoy the
Show!

GENESIS 01.13.13 (PPV)
The Concept: The mechanics of the Genesis
Pay-Per-View will act out much the same as before, being a straightforward
event with all the Championships on the line , but with the angle of all-new
rivalries and feuds given their first big staging; A New Year and a New
Direction!
The Setup: (Following on from the end of the
years 2012 Impact Show) Since Hogan’s latest fall from grace; Exposed on record as using doctored fan-film footage in an
attempt to cause friction amongst the ranks and gain full control, with the
help of his old partner Eric Bischoff. Dixie Carter finally steps in and hands
the GM position back to Sting.
The TNA World Championship is still held by Jeff
Hardy, since beating Bobbie Roode at BFG2012. After his ill-fated attempts at
regaining the Title from Roode during last years battles, James Storm steps up
once more in his final shot at Gold.
