Infamous TNA moments that would never happen in WWE.

[mrbananagrabber]

Now this isn't a "TNA sux, WWE is great" thread, we all know WWE is far from perfect. But as out of touch as Vince can be, as pig headed and stubborn he can be with regards to pushing certain wrestlers and as eccentric and nuts as he can be, he still hasn't pulled half the shit that TNA is famous for.

Example? Can you ever imagine the company letting a high profile talent go off on a Twitter rant calling the fans "dumb marks." Hogan did, and TNA did nothing.

Can you imagine Vince writing an email insulting a sponsor and including the person in the e-mail (actually, I can imagine that one, but it's never happened).

And having Kurt Angle, rolling around in a wheelchair backstage but still wrestling every night? Think it's fair to say that would never happen in WWE.

Any others?

Vince would never put a segment on Raw showing him shoot confronting the locker room to call them out for not getting on board with his plans.

WWE wouldn't do the Feast or Fired concept to legitimately fire somebody on live TV without any clue it was coming.

And then zoom in on their confused and sad face for those sweet drama ratings

Although, in fairness, they wouldn't legit release someone (John Morrison) and then have their actual head of talent relations give a thumbs up "all the best in your future endeavours" speech on camera either.

Serious question, when was the last time... or last "suspected" time the WWE had a wrestler in the ring that was obviously drunk/high and they still performed?

There were some guests hosts that looked wasted, but I'm more curious about a wrestler that was supposed to wrestle.

Not just Hogan. There was ol' "Buckets of Cash" Mathews' various rants, Borash with the EC3 as Cait Jenner photoshop, Eric Young telling people to go f*** themselves if they didn't like a PPV...

Basically a lot of people in TNA make incredibly bad decisions on social media that WWE would never let fly.

WWE moving it's headquarters from Titan Towers to this...

Jeff Hardy being allowed to work at Victory Road 2011. Vince, Steph, Trips and most agents wouldn't allow that

WWE wouldn't try to ninja sneak Vince Russo into their company, unless Vince McMahon wanted to pull one last good rib.

Pretty sure Flair was flying high on more than one occasion, but he didn't wrestle it was "guest appearance promo" stuff only.

Morrison wasn't released, he chose not to renew his contract. That was just to write him out on-air and get heat on Laurinaitis doing it.

Hire on someone still under contract somewhere else without actually looking into that contract status, and then scapegoat a wrestler whose job it isn't to look into peoples' contracts.

Sting winning matches

What's Rapper Potato doing at Full Sail?

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

They wouldn't have a hostage-taking bird. A hostage-taking dog, maybe, but definitely not a bird.

Even that first bit by itself seems right. Any legitimate league or team anywhere would have a strong enough legal team to look into this stuff. Even calling this bush league is an insult to bush leagues.

The same Trips that drugged Steph to marry him? No way!
