"Hulk Hogan is coming to TNA!" EVERY FIVE MINUTES on EVERY IMPACT for ALMOST THREE MONTHS STRAIGHT, with commentary redubbed to that effect, along with multiple showings of that stupid press conference. It was highly disrespectful to everyone else working their ass off to try to get over and entertain to have their efforts thrown under the bus so that TNA could hype their new toy for that ridiculous length of time.

Whilst I understand it would get annoying it legitimately was the biggest signing in the history of TNA and when you're paying a guy 30,000 dollars a week or whatever TNA was paying Hogan you need to at least try to get your moneys worth.

Almost three months before the guy actually makes his debut, though?

Almost three months before the guy actually makes his debut, though? I guess they were trying to make sure EVERYBODY knew about it. There were a lot of TNA announcements before that (And after) which got one weeks worth of hype and not everyone knew about it.

The GFW feud and whatever pissed Jarrett off enough to make him sell off his Stake in TNA. I wanted to see TNA and all of its intellectual property be absorbed into GFW.

I think that the partnership was gonna be longer with real ramifications, but allegedly Jarrett and Gaburick couldn't agree with the angle, so everything was dropped.

Yeah the way they handled Storm's and Aries' solo runs in 2011/12 was just mindnumbingly bad
Sometimes it's the RIGHT THING to go with the obvious results (Roode wins title at BFG11, starts feud with Storm afterwards) instead of BSing the fans for the hell of it
Imagine Sami Zayn winning by DQ against Neville at R Evolution, Owens avenging his bff by beating Neville for the title shortly afterwards, only to lose against heelturning Sami at their showdown

The way they treated Roxxi. Just awful stuff.
Roode/BFG made me stop watching for a while. You can add that to the long list of reasons why I hate Hogan.

The Kurt Angle/Samoa Joe Lockdown 2008 build up. It was so well done. A match built simply based on two guys hating each other and wanting to prove who was the best between them with little else in terms of ridiculous angles. It's also one of the few TNA Pay Per Views I actually bought on DVD. The reason why I'm angry though? It just showed you just what the company was capable of. It showed you that if they just kept things simple and built easy to follow storylines that people would watch their product. That people would pay for their product. That they could have some measure of success. But no, immediately after that it was right back to the status quo, what with Joe's horrible horrible TNA World Heavyweight title run where he was booked as a whiny babyface. It showed you that they were perfectly equipped of booking a coherent, entertaining product, yet for some reason they refused to learn from their successes and instead built on their countless failures. I agree with this as well. It like they want to be bad instead of being good. They shown time and time again that they could be great and could have lead to drawing money and selling tickets because they gotten a good reputation but it seems when something gets good, they find away to go back to being back and staying there. TNA seems to be only wanting flashes of good product. Makes no sense.

Hiring two Schutzstaffel wannabes and tacitly encouraging them to intimidate subordinates. when was that? Last year they hired the Harris twins, known neo nazis, to be in charge of the production. So the production people not only weren't getting paid, they were getting intimidated by the Harris twins

The Jeff Hardy incident. Literally every single wrong decision you could make in such a situation, they made. Sending Jeff out to the ring in that state? Check. Not having an impromptu replacement match to the end of the PPV, thereby doing at least something to make up for depriving paying customers of the match they were expecting? Check. Not firing Jeff for something that, in any realm of sanity, is fundamental career suicide? Check. They hit every checklist of stupidity and unprofessionalism with that incident, and it is still baffling that such a series of bad decisions could've possibly been made.

The GFW feud and whatever pissed Jarrett off enough to make him sell off his Stake in TNA. I wanted to see TNA and all of its intellectual property be absorbed into GFW. Jarret's return and the GFW invasion were all part of the conditions involved in Jarret's shares being bought off of him. I don't think anything pissed him off enough, he just knew the company was flagging and wanted to jump ship, but not before using their exposure to put eyes on his company. Granted, Gaburick sank that pretty hard, but things didn't quite happen in the order of "Jarret's company is buried, he sells off his stake, goes ome".

The GFW thing is the funniest thing ever. TNA advertising one of their direct competitors and not even cashing in on it on a PPV or something.

Debuting RVD, then allowing Sting to pummel him with a baseball bat for 10 minutes. Hogans fault. He missed his cue. Also sting didn't bother telling anyone he was too hurt for an actual match because douche

I honestly hoped the endgame of that storyline would've been Jarrett taking control of TNA and absorbing it into GFW. Maybe there were some legal reasons. GFW does have a fairly valid claim to be in the top 5, and despite what PWI claims, TNA is still just about 2nd place. I think JJ had to sell his WWE stock when TNA started. Maybe TNA has a no compete on him too?
