First gave up on TNA when they had Raven drop the belt to Jarrett on an televised show right before they started their new TV deal.
Tried to come back numerous times since then. Can't stand watching matches in the 6-sided right and haven't been able to get into it.
Once AJ Styles left that was the death blow.

I've always liked the six-sided ring, But it really shined when they let X division guys use it in creative ways, Monty Brown also used to great effect with the pounce. TNA's insistence on never pushing him is what started my lack of interest in the show. Along with, as you mentioned, Jeff Jarrett going over everyone because reasons.

I was still following TNA during the Magnus reign because I liked the guy and wanted to see what the payoff would be even if most of it (especially the Sting/AJ feuds) sucked. But when he just lost the title to EY...I gave up. It just felt too forced. Nothing against EY but he had no business being at that level at that time. I had little hope TNA would ever become anything at this point but when you start doing a reenactment of what the WWE is doing, that was it.

about 1 month into the Hogan/Bischoff Era.
The show went took a real left turn that just didn't appeal to me anymore.
It went from kinda being its own thing and growing into something distinct to walking everything back to WCW circa 2001.

You can't give up when you don't even start.

In terms of them as any sort of competitiveness, when AJ left.
in terms of them as worth watching, around the time ROH got on Destination America

Started watching it regularly when they got the weekly Fox Sports show. Watched it most weeks till Hogan came in. Stopped watching but came back after Hogan left. Left again when thanks to TNA I couldn't get ROH PPV thru Dish. Started watching again recently when Eli won the world title.

When "It Happened." It was such a cheap and dangerous stunt to get attention and being TNA of course no one cared, I think it helped cement Spike ending the relationship and Dixie actually got hurt. that is pretty much the time I gave up, there was a month or three where I still tried to give them a chance, but I just couldn't watch it any more. it hit peak stupidity & nonsensical storylines where it just became in watchable.

When Samoa Joe randomly turned heel and just handed Angle the title. Made it abundantly clear their own stars would always be seen as secondary silver and they had no idea how to bring in fans at all. I put up with them making poor decisions for a long to.e because I thought "Hey this is going somewhere" but that moment robbed me of the illusion.

October 2010. The Impact after Bound for Glory. In my opinion, the single worst wrestling show ever.
I briefly came back in 2012 when Austin Ares won the belt. Then quit soon after when he dropped the belt to Jeff Hardy. Only watched the odd youtube clip since.

I followed it pretty faithfully from 2004/5 ish to somewhere around 2011/12.
There was an episode of Impact where they kept cutting to weird "shoot promo" type interviews on a handheld camera, one of which I seem to recall was in a McDonald's. It was just bizarre and achieved nothing. One of the promos was Hogan ranting on in a bleary-eyed grandpa manner about how TNA sucked and how he would fix it (he'd already been there well over a year at this point). That was my end point for watching every week, and it just declined from there.

1-4-10.
Hulk Hogan shows up with a bunch of has-beens from the 80's and 90's as TNA puts on a horrible show to start what they think will be the new Monday Night War. I knew that night that they would never be anything more than second rate.

October 14th 2010.
While I would check in from time to time afterwards, nothing killed off any hope I had for this company faster than that show. It really was a "Why am I watching this? What am I doing with my life?" experience for me.
