The L's of TNA

Uh-uh. HELL NO. This HAD to be intentional.

Either that, or he simply didn't realize the chair was that close to him.

But no way in HELL he was actually trying to drop dude's head on the chair.

The implication, if I remember correctly, was that Roode had tricked Sting into getting too close to the chair, so that he'd hit his head on it when he went for the Death Drop.

If I'm still remembering correctly, nobody knew what the hell was going on when it happened and thought it was completely moronic.

TNA everyone.

At Hard Justice 2006, the opening match between Johnny Devine and Eric Young was disrupted by a large cloud of smoke, which caused fans to begin chanting "YOU CAN'T SEE US!" (in reference to John Cena's catchphrase). A shot of the smoke reveals that the Impact Zone's roof was on fire (the fire was caused by the pyro which kicked off the PPV). Devine and Young worked the remainder of the match -- something both men should be commended for -- and then followed fans, other workers, and TNA staff out of the Impact Zone. As the fire department spends a half-hour extinguishing the fire, Tenay and West run down the rest of Hard Justice's card and held interviews with various wrestlers (including a possibly-high Monty Brown). A multi-team tag match was booted from the card as a result. No more pyro would be used the rest of the night, which prompted a "No more pyro!" chant.

This nikka Monty Brown really did the hook to "Stay Fly" by 3 6 at 1:35

Hulk Hogan is (Not) Coming to TNA!!!
Jeff Jarrett attacked Hulk Hogan at a press conference in Japan in October. This was supposed to lead to TNA's first ever $30 supercard PPV that had the main event of Jarrett vs. Hogan. Jarrett was supposed to go over and Hogan suddenly had mysterious "pains". The whole thing turned out to be meaningless as Hogan would not wrestle for TNA and eventually re-signed with WWE. Hogan goes on to never appear in a TNA ring until 2010. The footage of Hogan being attacked is replayed countless times and made it onto the 50 Greatest TNA Moments DVD.

• • Part of the issue with Hogan coming in goes back to Bash at the Beach 2000, where Jarrett laid down for Hogan in a worked shoot. In a speech after the match Russo came out and called Hogan "a bald son of a bytch". Hogan, despite being in on everything that night, wasn't happy and filed a real defamation of character suit that prevented the two working together. Three years later the suit still existed.
  • On top of this there was very real tension in the booking and creative team. At the time, it consisted of Jarrett, Dutch Mantell and Vince Russo. Often the three would come up with a scenario and agree with Russo's plans before waiting for Vince to leave and change all of his ideas. Russo was paranoid that Jarrett was "out to get him" and when Jarrett told him he'd been in discussions with Hogan Russo immediately saw that as a betrayal.
  • Later that month Russo made the decision to leave TNA. To take himself off television Russo had Jarrett beat him on television, Russo told him to make it look as real as possible. Russo would suffer another concussion and severe bruising.

Daddy Jarrett really about that MMA life??

Andrew "Test" Martin randomly debuted, picked up the nickname "The Punisher", went over in the main event of Hard Justice, and promptly disappeared from the company.

Martin was very likely the only guy in TNA ever fired because he was too muscular. While normally this would be one of the dumbest things ever, it made sense because Congress had put professional wrestling under a microscope regarding steroid abuse in the wake of the Benoit tragedy and Martin was a walking red flag at the time. He was told he could come back when he had lost some muscle mass. He never came back, as first he retired later in the year then died two years later.

According to a report submitted to the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released to the public in 2009, of 60 TNA wrestlers tested in January 2007 26 tested positive for drugs, 15 of those tested positive for steroids.

Would like to see the names listed on that list by Congress.

After leaving WWE, Mick Foley -- one of the nicest, most liked, and most respected personalities in the industry -- went to TNA. After TNA gave him a World Championship reign for no legitimate reason, TNA proceeded to piss Foley off to the point where he openly bashed the company on his Twitter while still under TNA contract.

"Maybe so, but two days later, I trapped The Rock under a pallet of beer kegs to win the WWE strap in an Empty Arena match a/k/a TNA house show." - Mick Foley on Twitter

Bryan Alvarez probably about to start writing "The "Rise" & Fall of TNA"... then again he may have the book already written up and just waiting for TNA to shut down. That Tito debut gonna be a good chapter to read as well as the Voodoo Kin Mafia chapters.
