All of OG members of Main Event Mafia are now WWE Hall of Famers: Kurt Angle (2017) Sting (2016) Kevin Nash (2015 and 2020) Scott Steiner (2022) Booker T (2013 and 2019) Sharmell (2022)

[@JohnHartson20]

@@michaelpachuau3885 So I'm absolutely sure that he didn't want the Queen banned from ringside because her support was always amazing, the Melanin Beauty was always clever with her interferences for Booker and him and he liked her, so he was definitely shocked when Sting said it...

Sting is cleaning up the mess that Kurt Angle created in the Main Event Mafia. Best for business.

[@PapaLobo94]

[@kennydyas688]

Nice suit

Sting brings more order to the Main Event Mafia than Kurt Angle

[@Proj3ctX1]

This is when TNA was really good

[@jaynyce5923]

Back when TNA was great

[@ironcrosstrainingltd6482]

Sting was the man!! When he said women are banned I could here Book "Hey brother let's talk about this" 🤣😂🤣

[@Jerry-zc5qt]

Kurt's reaction to his security getting fired was like a teenager getting grounded by their parents when they had weekend plans

[@mat7083]

Imagine if his gold medals got taken away. He’d cry harder than when he won them

[@GlobalEnigma64]

Scott was the only one who approved of all of Sting’s decisions 😂😂😂😂 Man I hate they kicked Sting out. He actually had sense lol

[@painfan476]

I was waiting for Sting to start flowing..."there is indeed, the need, to succeed, well that's what we all agreed"

[@victorrosario6406]

Sting has officially impressed me. I hope this Joe thing goes somewhere.

[@angiesowers7104]

Stings awesome God bless him and his family.

[@uayfb1]

Sting is probably the only wrestler who can do a heel promo and still speak nothing but truth. He gets cheered whether as heel or face.

[@garrettcameron8553]

I think Sting was a face in the stable while the rest were heels. It creates an interesting dynamic.

[@mat7083]

Sting is neither a face nor a heel. He is the BACKBONE 🔥🚬

[@tthomaselli2]

The original Main-Event Mafia should come back and feud with Aces And 8's.; Kurt Angle, Sting, Samoa Joe, Booker T., Kevin Nash & Scott Steiner VS. Tazz, The Dudley Boyz, Ken Kennedy, Mike Knox & D.O.C.! Aces And 8's VS. The Main-Event Mafia = Pro wrestling dream-match!

miss the old TNA Impact

Me too

[@onlyone23km]

It’s back.

Sting is the greatest wrestler of all time

[@ddm2k1143]

Sting is one of the greatest ever but not the greatest. Is Sting better than Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker???

[@FightingForceSoulless]

Better than The Rock and Shawn Michaels for sure, the rest.... he is certainly a better *wrestler* than Hogan and Flair, but you know, gimmicks.... wrestling abilities are not what makes you a good wrestler.

[@victorrunciman3415]

Chris Dancy According to vince3h/Dunn, Roman Reigns is the Wrestler of all time ... what a Bunch of IMBECILES!

Chris Dancy THE ROCK HANDS DOWN

[@dickenstham5075]

Derek Mitchell Yes Sting is better than every one you listed, he was awesome in every promotion he has been in

[@alejandroaguilar8797]

I guess Scott was the only one to keep his eye on the price and to do his job in the mafia

[@shaqyardie8105]

BUNCH OF FATASSES!

He and Sting go way back, so it makes sense

[@jermainemartinezperez6458]

LOL AT THE FACE OF ANGLE AT THE END

[@hiphopdagame]

kurt looking kinda healthy here... nowadays he looks reddish and kinda swollen up(if that's how you put it... )

[@chrisbooker88]

+sKiNo that's an indication of heart trouble(let's hope not)

[@hiphopdagame]

Chris Booker damn.. hope not.. but he's a workhorse.. i hope he doesn't overwork after his recent "retirement"...

[@Necrostoner]

This looked like the point in time he was doing drugs out the ass. He just looked different.

[@round105]

Look at his face now and before this, his chin and face weren't this defined. He was taking steroids here buddy, and im sorry to put it like this but the guy ain't gonna make it to 65. He took so many pills and pain killers and steroids instead of letting his body rest we know how that ends up killing the person. To the point to where he took more than a 100 pills before matches. Hopefully I'm wrong but the way i see it is that his heart gonna kick in sooner or later. Eddie guerrero had substance abuse and before he died he was pumping steroids, and we know what happened

[@SirJoelsuf1]

I swear, the Main Event Mafia walked so The Bloodline could run. Actually, The Sopranos walked so BOTH could run really.

[@OnThe515]

Anyone else notice he starts the speech by saying that everyone's positions are secure, then proceeds to kick a total of four people out of the group.

[@Sylar0693]

Sting, TNA and the main event mafia ROCKS!!!!

Big poppa pump scott steiner needs to get on that mic

[@spinemelter2000]

Sting said everyone would keep their jobs, but why did he fire Jenna, Sharmelle, Rocco and Sally? Why does Kurt wear a rose in his shirt and a picture of a rose on the back of his wrestling suit? And why did Samoa Joe viciously beat Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash and Booker T right before joining the MEM?

Kurt Angle is like "Oh shit....."

Sting personality reminds me of John Cena

[@MWE1013]

In his blog he did put in a little hint. "I will be crossing the line soon" Think about that!!

[@jameshetfield007]

what's really cool about this moment is when you see all the WCW wrestlers and Kurt Angle from WWE and it's Sting is indirectly showing he's the boss versus McMahon treating the WCW guys during the hostile take over like pee-ons lol \m/

[@tthomaselli2]

4:21-4:25.; Did Don West really make mention of "President" Obama???... I remember watching this episode of 'TNA Impact' from beginning to end as if it was literally yesterday & I still can't believe it.

ive never in all my life hear a wrestler tell another "im gonna kill you" ive never heard that before! and ive been watching since 1984.
