10 Moments That Made TNA Fans Quit Watching FOREVER

[@constablekennedy7705]

The Jay Lethal & Ric Flair Woo-Off was Legendary and one of the few Highlights for Me

[@RubleBubble]

I liked the Woo-off, too. That was some good comedy 😂

[@iamdevilboy5976]

It was great

[@Txveras]

Yeah i saw the thumbnail and was like Hated? Nah we loved that segment and it's one of their best to this day

[@TheWesterlyWarlock]

I think many will agree, but did Flair have to give up his perfect retirement to do so? He could have still been involved with stuff without having embarrassed himself to the point the Woo-off is probably the best thing he did during that run.

[@constablekennedy7705]

@@aiacc2aiacc2 It wasn't an awful segment, but it did not actually make any sense. Why is Jay Lethal not just being a wrestler with good personality, instead he was a total ripoff of Macho Man or Ric Flair, and did the ratings go up? did they get more PPv buys from it? No they did not

[@bwareist]

@@JackKeithley Does it have to? He was a midcard guy at the time being tested in higher more significant waters. Not everyone needs to be a main event guy used to be a box office star, some just need to be there to add depth to the roster. Besides, everything in Wrestling is borrowed in some way and Lethal wasn't too hot with the crowd before he started impersonating wrestlers.

[@ivaylo-milev]

Bischoff and Hogan ruined it for me, by the time they left everything was super sad and pathetic. The Knockouts division was perfection prior to their arrival

[@sirnetflix7162]

Actually, wrestlers actually said the six sided ring being changed was good. I forget which wrestlers, but they said that it’s way harder to wrestle in one and that the four sided ring was just more practical

Jeff Jarrett did a really good job of convincing fans to stop watching TNA. For example JJ not dropping the NWA word title to Raven in an incredibly over booked match that was also the highest sell weekly PPV hurt early NWA TNA. The fans were pissed and it really highlighted how JJ wanted to be TNA's version of WCW's Hulk Hogan or WWE's HHH even though JJ was supposed to be the baby face.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

It wasn't Hogan's decision though, but it was the wrestlers that made the choice to get rid of the six-sided ring. Wrestlers like, AJ Styles and Sting, have said that the six-sided ring wasn't good for their bodies and how the movesets worked in the ring.

[@afterglow-podcast]

@@M_11_m41n I never said anything about who made the decision. Just that it was impetus to stop watching.

[@VisualizeInside-mt2li]

It was AJ Styles leaving that personally did it for me. AJ was the promotion's biggest homegrown star and had so much if a higher ceiling to go through, as we all saw in the years to come afterward. When he left, basically anything solid left for the foundation of TNA also left. I would watch every once in a while just for giggles, but then when they got taken off Spike TV, it just wasn't worth the trouble to go out of my way to watch at all.

[@VisualizeInside-mt2li]

To add: I followed AJ into NJPW, then found fandom in a whole another place. Basically, TNA's downfall made me a NJPW fan.

That Jeff Hardy-Sting match was so unbelievable, I was in shock anyone let Hardy past the curtain. They should've just announced Jeff was medically unfit to compete and that Sting would face literally anyone else for the world title that night

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

I agree. I thought Bischoff as the guy in charge didn't think quickly on his feet. He made the same mistake when Kurt Angle was injured and he had him beat Roode in 30 seconds at Bound for Glory. At least have the fans leave home happy. Say that Sting and Jeff had an altercation backstage and there's a replacement for the title. Any lackeys from Immortal would have been OK. And Sting win it. Or have Sting attack Hardy as he is coming to the ring, throw him into the barricades, throw him into the ring, give him the corner splash and scorpion deathlock for the win. But then have his old arch nemesis Ric Flair who is in Hardy's group come in rage and demand a match with Sting. You do a 5 minutes match with Sting retaining it and everybody is happy.

[@Jawond34]

There were never going to be on the same level ass WWE and that's ok you can still be one of the greatest wrestling companies in the world. But if you wanted to be on that level why would you bring in the people that were responsible destroying WCW. It's almost like they wanted to go out of business

[@str.77]

Because those people who killed WCW did what they did to be on the same level as the WWF, by which they meant kill the WWF. They sold the same bill of goods to Dixie Carter.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

You forgot to name another thing that made people quit: When at Bound for Glory Bobby Roode lost to Kurt Angle in 30 seconds cause Hogan thought Roode "wasn't ready" and cause Angle was injured. Imagine all the people that were there and the people that bought the PPV at the time. This about sunk their PPV model. Horrible decision by Eric Bischoff. Remember that James Storm beat Angle for the title right at the next Impact tapping, right. Well at Bound for Glory, they should have had Immortal beat the living Hell out of Bobby Roode before the match. Other TNA guys come in for the save but Roode cannot wrestle and Roode tell Storm "go in my place". Storm goes in the ring, beat Angle in 30 seconds like it happened on Impact and become Champ. That would have left the fans there and at home satisfied.
