A brief mention on The Hardy's DVD, but other than that, WWE doesn't pay the slightest bit of attention to TNA and their antics or when a guy who used to work for them shows up on Impact and delivers the "I should've been a world champion but I was held down by the company up north because they were all jealous of me!" speech. When Jeff return in 2006, wwe.com did an article where they referred to his time in tna as "fighting his demons", they didn't mentioned tna by name. Also according to them, Sting spend his tna tenure mourning WCW, he's happy people steady forgot about the last rites match and the hostage taking bird. I wonder what they're gonna say about Kurt Angle's time in tna when they induct him to the wwe hall of fame, I bet they're gonna say that he was in rehab or something. When presenting Samoa Joe, they went through his early indy and ROH days in a quite detailed manner, while his whole TNA run was just summarized as having worked with famous former WWE names such as Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, etc. without specifying exactly where he had done that.

It's not on-air during a normal wrestling show but they mention it during one of the Legends of Wrestling round table shows. I can't remember what episode it was but Ric Flair is one of the Legends and it's on the network. They're discussing a former WWE guy and they say something like "where is he now?" and someone else says "TNA". Flair then says some pretty disparaging comments about them. This was before his run there.

This was before his run there. I think they were talking about Russo. It's also not on air, but on Jericho's second book he mentioned tna and that he had a meeting with them but had no plan on signing with TNA, he just wanted leverage while negotiating with the wwe.

There was the Pre-show for WrestleMania 31 where Ric Flair mentioned that Sting was in TNA for a long time (completely destroying WWE's storyline that he just disappeared after WCW went under). He even mentioned that Booker T was there, too, and Booker, also on the panel, tried to downplay it.

I need to find the clip, but I would pop if Booker pretended he didn't knew what the f*** Flair was talking about.

What a moron, at least he said "down there", still it was cool to hear him say that while Triple H wrestled with top guys, Sting's opponents weren't up to par (Flair mentioned that sting didn't wrestled him and booker, although Sting did worked with flair). I guess the records book won't ever show the fact that Sting worked a program with EC3 and Magnus, Sting couldn't be happier about it.

Anytime there is a bad match, promo or storyline, it's a nod to TNA.

They did one accidentally at NOC. They mentioned something about Sting becoming known as The Icon. That was his TNA nickname, he never used it in WCW.
Also when Xavier Woods turned up at first he was teaming with R-Truth. They mentioned this wasn't the first time the two teamed up. That would of course be as members of Team Pacman during Truth's last few days in TNA.

They promoted Foley's 'Countdown to Lockdown" book on air, which is a sideways a reference as you can get.

When Sting made his very first appearance, JBL or Cole mentioned he is a multi-time NWA champion. One of those title runs was when TNA was still an NWA affiliate.
I also seem to remember some online interview where Triple H openly said "TNA doesn't have anyone we need."
