The fact that anyone has to go bankrupt for health care is mad

I think this list left out the most important controversy; TNA's treatment of Daffney, who sued after career ending brain injuries resulting from a dangerous spot on a PPV she was convinced to due by management at the time. Sadly, these injuries are what lead to her death. RIP Shannon Spruill.

It's the year 3127, the earth is a wasteland, mutant cockroaches have taken over and STILL TNA have somehow NOT gone out of buisness.

Dishonorable mention to the whole Tessa Blanchard saga where she got the TNA World Title after being exposed as a racist/bully, then she held the belt hostage and wound up getting fired.

Two notes:
Sting came off as a complete professional next to the troubled Hardy.
The footnote to the Angle/Jarrett love triangle is that it also marked the final televised match of Chyna's in-ring career. Sadly, it looked like the ring rust was never knocked off of her, being her sloppiest match that I have ever seen.

The burns on Austin Aries were hilarious and when that little laugh happened after I lost it 😂

[TihetrisWeathersby]

The problem with TNA is that so many people have come and gone, Creative team wise it's hard to blame any one person because they've come and gone

Dishonorable Mention:

How Dixie Carter because she chose to keep Vince Russo as a head writer, lost TNA's partnership with Spike TV.

[martialartsNerd]

Good video and all, but I think Scott D'Amore's firing should've also been on list. There was a lot of outrage of fans and wrestlers when they heard the news.

[benespinosa]

LMAO that CookieGate segment from TNA turning point 2004 always makes me laugh the visual of abyss carrying balloons is absolutely hilarious can't believe that happened 20-years ago I was just watching that PPV a few days ago that was a great show especially the main event six sides of steel match between AMW and triple X.

[tsstevensts]

10:28 *Fan:* That was BS.
*Sting:* I agree!

But why no Dixie Carter threatening to fire someone other than Russo if fans called for his termination? Whether a shoot or a work this was inexcusable.

[williamkirschenman]

I remember hearing the news with Austin Aries giving Zelina a promise ring 😂😂 I never knew it was those two.

[anthonylarosa]

I’m so glad you guys are covering companies other than wwe and AEW lately lol

[glenndonnelly]

Adam audibly cracking up whilst talking about Aries is the highlight

[gamerprincess]

Pissing off Awesome Kong is an interesting choice…

[diabeticman]

Having flashbacks to the OSW episode were they talk about Pac-Man Jones, might need to rewatch that episode now…

[lastdayonearthmysteryman]

I bet working with Pac-Man Jonas is what made Ron Killings decide to go back to WWE!

[pandavelli]

Christi Hemme was in her PRIME in TNA 😍😍

[SirAsdf]

Aries had his career set with indie bookings for the rest of his life and he threw it all away to be an utter dickcheese on national Pay Per View. Hope the six total matches he had last year were worth it.

This video was surprising as I didn't know Taylor Swift was Kurt Angle's child. Never had that on my 2024 bingo card 🤣🤣🤣🤣
