Just go away, go away and join XPW and GLOW in the purgatory of joke wrestling promotions that should have never existed. Would never putting the title on Monte Brown after he got himself mega over qualify for this list, or does that fall under Jarrett holding the title hostage category? How bout building up Joe to be your unstoppable monster only to feed him to Angle almost the minute he walks in the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but we'd probably see the person with the bailout money show up at the next tapings and take Mike Bennett's "Miracle" moniker for his or her own.

mattdangerously Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 If the mysterious new benefactor is anyone other than Dixie's pop, who's desperate to keep her away from Panda Energy, or a very confused Delta Burke, who thinks she's funding her former costar's Designing Women revival, then this whole mess is going to blow up in her face. Somehow, I don't see Corgan putting up with being strung along for much longer before saying, "fuck it, I'm outta here." At some point, Vince will be the only person left still willing to buy TNA, and all he'll offer are Rosa Mendes, some unsold Stardust replica gloves, and a copy of Stephanie's workout video.

Phantom Lord Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hey, don't knock GLOW. As bad as TNA is, never in it's best moment will it get a sitcom based on it with Alison Brie. Though David McClaine has managed to bring WOW back once again so I'd say he's the winner in all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think I'd like to see TNA turned into Roller Derby. Same roster, just on skates and coherent storylines. EC3 can lead a team.

Craig H Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Can't believe they're still alive. TNA is like a patient on life support and in a coma. It's just that now they have encephalitis, hence all of Broken Matt stuff. Every now and then the people in the waiting room are called in because it looks like they're going to die, only for them to live just a little bit longer.

Eh, I never really considered Monte Brown to be main eventer material. He's the guy you have come out to do a 30-second squash right after intermission to pop the crowd. But I totally forgot to add the "Planet Jarrett vs. TNA Regular Army" feud and "Team Canada: Lead Heels" eras to my original list. I know the fat guy with the glasses who was also head booker during the Team Canada period is friends with a couple of the senior posters on here, but he was definitely not lead heel material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott D'Amore was unbearable. He's up there with Russo, Bischoff, and Vince in terms of people I wanted to see the earth open up and swallow. "X-Pac heat" should have been renamed "D'Amore heat".

Wasn't it D'Amore that booked the women's division when they were doing so well though? I didn't really like him as an onscreen guy, but thought he did pretty well behind the scenes.

Ultimo Necro Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 If this really is the end then hopefully they go out classy and the PPV ends with the Benny Hill theme video and finish with a freeze frame of the Tenay / West high 5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte had his faults, but he was getting over and he was the one homegrown guy at the time that I thought would have made sense to give a shot in the top spot. I think the overall problem of the time was that Jarrett would always El Kabong his way to victories, and instead of letting the guy he cheated get some comeuppance, they just went to the next program. If I remember correctly it was Nash who got the next title shot after Monte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Now that they've apparently had an infusion of cash from... somewhere, and the PPV looks like it is a go, I've... lost interest, really. Sorry. NFL is on. That's TNA's problem in a nutshell: they generated a fair bit of interest this week, but that interest probably won't carry over to the PPV.
