Most of them seemed to be shoehorned into the main event scene, making a lot of big main event matches confusing messes. Jarrett was the perfect upper midcard guy, could do heel or face (much better as a heel unless he was in Memphis), totally believable holding a secondary title, even could carry a world title as a transitional champion, but ownership and ego put paid to that.

Brother, you had me crying with this one! In laughter! "The Mid-Card Mafia?" Priceless! And some of those matches! I mean, I'm going to be honest....Ric Flair was probably twenty years older than most of the "legends" he's wrestling. But he's in better shape! And can still take a bump! Mick can barely move. I mean, it's just sad to watch! I know he took a lot of damage in WWE and it took it's toll. BUT DON'T WRESTLE! And Nash! Jesus, that Match 19, they looked like two old hobos having a tiff about who drank the last drop of Mad Dog! Nash is using the shopping cart as a walker. And Mick gets winded after ten seconds. Just stop! I can't believe that he wrecked his career this bad, considering what a real legend he was in the days before TNA! I mean, Nash had been phoning it in since the last days of WCW, but I would expect better of Mick. I know it's fun to make fun of Hogan and Flair, but Hogan wasn't much worse than normal. And Rick....Well, he was still putting on a show. He was at least trying. You have to give the man that! WOOOOOOO!!!!!

Billy Gunn > Kevin "i barely move" Nash

[@teddibiase2932]

I love these dry readings of the matches. I'm hear it and go, thats not whats happening....hehehe thats exactly what's happening. "Sting tries to grate Foley like cheese."

[@nOT_sURE08]

Angle looks like someone at a gas station I'd have to call the cops on because he says something vaguely threatening to my wife.

[@TravisBroski]

Honestly there are some really unique/fun spots in this, but it’s unfortunate because it’s done by a Foley who shouldn’t have been wrestling at this point.

[@jerichostevens2711]

Mick Foley is a legend. Beloved.

[@paulheymanguy6625]

Again the commentary is amazing ........with that music background

[@crosscontamination5990]

I cannot describe to you how pissed i am that the audio cut off at the end

[@phatshotsgaming7578]

Just glad you’re doing ok!

[@silversoulken]

Same!

[@leonturner2598]

Absolutely. #AppreciateMentalHealth

[@tthomaselli2]

To this day, I still laugh at that running kick that Mick Foley gives Abyss around 22:39-22:43. I remember watching this episode of 'TNA Impact' with a friend of mine & his cousin & all 3 of us cracked up--not just at how weak it looked, either. We were twice as amazed that Abyss even sold for it.

[@1986jon19]

You forgot he wrestled Rocky Balbora. I remember laughing throughout.

[@gizmeksandsushi2304]

Yes! One of the funniest segments I've ever seen. Don West's over-the-top commentary just amplified it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shawnyganggang1413]

You are a SAINT for watching ALL these matches and sacrificing your mental health for our entertainment, sir.

[@tthomaselli2]

After a long & drawn out while of seeing Mick Foley bring his barbed wire baseball bat "Barbie" to the ring for all of his matches during his TNA in 2009, I was hoping for a change... I liked when Mick Foley first introduced us to "Barbie" & incorporate it in hardcore matches in the spring of 2004 when he was still under contract with WWE, but, I think "Barbie" wore out the figurative welcome by mid-2009 during Mick Foley's TNA run, in my opinion.

[@Mike-ze1by]

And dude how many bumps did he take on the damn concrete?

[@LesCritiquesduMaSQuE]

Foley was beyond washed up in TNA. Who thought it'd be a good idea to give him the belt when every other wrestler was better ?! 🤣

[@dukes1993724]

They thought it would be like 1999 all over again 😂

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

@MetalHeadJake well, whatever you think. It's hard to deny that Mick was in horrible shape and his body wasn't holding up too well either. This man has decades of abuse on him at this point. I'm surprised he was even able/cleared to compete.

[@nerdingout3560]

@MetalHeadJake lmao so foley was a better choice than angle, sting and joe just to name 3?? while i admit there are too many false finishes, superkicks and finishers in todays wrestling doesnt mean there wasnt better options for tna champ in 09. i mean hell this company also had james storm and robert roode at this time. tna was just trying to be wcw in the late 90s by pushing their biggest names on value alone and not in ring work which is what most ppl were watching tna for in its early years. also no one is saying foley isnt a legend its just no one wanted to see foley(clearly passed his prime and too damaged from years of abuse to the body) as a world champ in 2009

[@DoozieDoodle]

@MetalHeadJake I can 100% guarantee that your opinion isn't a fact. It isn't even somewhat credible.

[@naughtygawd3269]

@Doom Guy ok boomer

[@Mike-ze1by]

If he wouldn't have had this last run I think he would have a better quality of life right now.

[@SuperDaidai14]

Banning thumbtacks from an abyss Vs foley match seems like the literal complete opposite of what you should do in that situation

[@rachelknightonline]

Taking over TNA is like taking over KMart, even if you win it means nothing

[@ahmedabdulhaimuzamil2476]

It's weird see ing 60 y.o flair vs 45 y.o foley have a last man standing match like come on guys you don't have to do that

[@PerfectImperfection64]

Money talks

[@gregoryfuller9736]

They had one in wwe too at summerslam 06

[@awesomemantm2000]

Imagine they return and have another match at the next show in saudi arabia

[@vicross11]

Flair did, he was broke

[@tthomaselli2]

Markyd123- Who were you impersonating, exactly at 0:40-0:57?...

[@coopercostantino17]

I can’t help but laugh at the idea of Mick Foley wrestling for a junior heavyweight championship of any kind

[@genos_vacuum]

Oooooooooh wait I lol’ed waaaaay to hard when you said that FOLEY PROBABLY BLEEDS MORE WHEN HE PASSES FECES…wtf man. Lol 😆 C’mon joking about colon cancer here now are we lol 😂

[@jaysilva5854]

These clips show why old wrestlers should not wrestle main events. It's like watching in slow motion.

[@cradodragmire1563]

Undertaker, Chris Jericho and Shaun Michaels were good as they got old.

[@AdubsMMA]

20:13 Kevin’s “boxing technique” is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
