Similarly, Jesse Neal, while working for TNA, tweeting with excitement that he had qualified for foodstamps. Funny how TNA has claimed they don't got any money and talent has to take paycut after paycut but they just so happened to have half a million lying around for Jenna Morsaca and 35 grand a week for Hogan, Bischoff, and Brooke. Not to mention how much Christy Hemme was reportedly raking in, for as little as she contributed to the product. Even Josh Mathews has bragged about his "buckets of money". Meanwhile, their production team is constantly paid late. Priorities, man.

Dixie going through the table and getting legit injured. She isn't Mae Young, but an almost 50 year mother who had no experience in the ring, and she did this for no other reason than a cheap attempt to get mainstream publicity and the saddest part was, no one outside of wrestling (and very few in wrestling) gave a damn about it.

It's sad that Jay Lethal, right after he left, tweeted that the casual fans only recognized him for appearing in an episode of Family Feud.
RVD and Kevin Nash also got mad about walking through airports and fans asking them if they retired, not knowing of impact's existence.
TNA kills the ego in such a way, that 99% of the wrestlers that leave the company end up burying it in a shoot interview, it gets to the point where you're embarrased just to be associated with it.

Also worth mentioning was the storyline attached to it, where Bobby Roode, who had just been screwed out of part ownership of TNA in storyline by Bully Ray and had cut a promo before Lockdown which was one of the best I've heard, and beforehand reconcilled with James Storm and hugged him, was the heel. Despite defending his boss from Bully, who had spent much of the past few years in factions attempting to destroy/take over TNA. Not to mention there was that no man on women violence edict that Spike had, and Bully putting Dixie through the table was apparently one of the reasons that Spike booted TNA (the main reason being Vince Russo). And TNA named that their greatest moment on Spike.

The man who was synonymous with the name TNA leaves in an absolute cluster**** of a match. For me this was the final straw

Considering some of the s*** this company did (just look up a couple of posts above yours for a great example), her getting legit injured feels karmic. - - - - - I'll throw in things like "3-3-11" and Eric Young's WHC title win. For something often labeled as the alternative to the WWE, it's outright pathetic just how often TNA outright copies it.

I remember the 3-3-11 one getting called a parody as a counter to criticism.

This is not as bad as Candido, Sorenson or Zema, but its still really sad. For James Storm, a great wrestler with lots of charisma, being the head of an awful stable (possibly the worst in TNA history above some very strong competition). For Jeff Hardy taking a shot with a Cowbell to the back of the head and two stupid bumps in a pretty meaningless match. For Jeff Hardy being allowed to write himself off. The TNA tour of the UK despite the previous two tours, he was written off without insane bumps. And most importantly, for Jeff Hardy doing this stuff and the likelyhood he will be in a wheelchair before 40 - or worse.

Or the fact that TNA employs 2 well known drug abusers while doing nothing about it shows who utterly desperate they are.

So seeing the DA logo Im assuming that gif is recent? I could have sworn there was a similar incident like a couple years ago where Hardy was knocked off a cage like that but now that I think of it so much has happened with TNA recently a few months ago feels like years.

Are you thinking of the Swanton onto the steps? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nFzv5WaNAMHappened last year during the New York tapings.

No was definitely the falling off the cage (nearly typed couch there). I remember there being outrage over it on here, wasn't this what kayfabe took him out of overseas tapings or something?

Tommy Dreamer blubbering and thanking Dixie for not being "mean old Vince"
Any last pangs of the hardcore nature of ECW was shot dead right there. Hell, even Vince's handling of ECW was never that pathetic.
