Does a house show count? Cause they worked Rahway, NJ, 4 years ago or so. I don't remember the wrestling being really good or really bad, but the set-up was totally cramped and someone stole my friend's chair. The autograph session involved everyone walking around ringside, and you can imagine how that went if you weren't right by the railing. AJ and Jeff Hardy were in another room, and I think only at intermission did the other wrestlers have actual tables. I just remember Velvet and JJ having them, really.
It was also the last time on record that Robbie E treated us like human beings, as the next time we saw him at an indy show was the infamous table-pushing incident (he pushed a table into my friend and knocked over her stuff, and refused to acknowledge her or apologize afterwards)

I was at the NYC show when Dixie went through a table. It was a pretty fun show live.
I went again in NYC two months later...and it was the only show I've ever left early. It sucked. It sucked really bad.

The wife and I went to Genesis 2013. It was the last traditional pay-per-view in the original Impact Zone. Seeing Jeff Hardy nearly kill himself work a ladder match live was great. On the other hand, the crowd was awful. They were more interested in putting themselves over and cheering Devon than actually paying attention to the show. Oh... And the guy in front of me in the bleachers fell asleep on my feet.
We also went to the 2013 Impact taping in Atlanta. It was fine - far from the worst show ever - but nothing too memorable.

The only part of your post that's believable is the guy falling asleep at a TNA show.

Went to a House Show in Wilkes-Barre PA in like 2010, it was an awesome show honestly. Right before the 10/10/10 stuff finally happened.
Went backstage and met a ton of the stars, D'Lo Brown escorted us back there. Someone called out "Former Euro-Intercontinental Champion!" and he responded "The Greatest!". Thought it was hilarious.
Met the Motor City Machine Guns, got to hold a Tag Title, met The Pope D'Angelo Dinero, Abyss is a very big man in person but the sweetest dude honestly, also met Velvet Sky, Shannon Moore, even talked to Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy a little bit, got pictures with them all.
Highlight of the night was after the main event street fight of Jeff Hardy vs Abyss, Jeff handed my friend a Trash Can Lid he used to hit Abyss over the head with and we took that shit home with us. That lid was stiff as hell, and it was dented. Despite all his demons, Jeff was a really cool guy, especially to my friend who was a HUGE Hardy Mark, and I guess he did not forget him when we were backstage to the event, because he walked right over (We had good seats) and just gave him it.
So yeah, plenty of bad shit with TNA as they went on, but that was always a fun show that I'll remember fondly even as TNA goes into the deepest hole of shit.

House show in I believe 2011 in Sacramento. It was very low budget, but it was still a good time.
Only thing off setting is the constant carny stuff they're yelling over the mic about "vip passes" and "backstage passes" ect

I saw an Impact taping in August 2013. It was actually pretty good, though it was during that phase when Hogan seemed a little off the rails. He announced Sting getting a title shot, even though Sting was barred from every competing for the TNA world title again. And AJ Styles did this really long shoot-ish promo that had people booing him out of the place.

I swear I saw 10 people carrying those at the house show I attended

I went to a TNA house show in 2007, the night before a PPV. It was a good show, even though everyone knew the champion would not drop the belt in the main event (because the title would be contested at the PPV.) It wasn't promoted terribly well, but about three quarters of the joint were occupied by spectators.

I went to two UK tapings in January 2013 and 2014. 2013 was pretty good as Hulk Hogan and Sting were there, plus it was cool seeing guys like Kurt Angle, RVD, Samoa Joe and Bully Ray live for the first time. Not to mention I loved Aces and Eights theme. Although TNA had pissed off UK fans by advertising Jeff Hardy until the week before the tour despite knowing that he was unable to travel.
2014 however was terrible and I decided then and there that I would never go to a TNA event again. The only highlight was a huge fight that broke out in the crowd that distracted the wrestlers in the ring and caused them to have to re-tape the ending of one of the matches.

I went to the first Impact tapings in 2006, we got 5 Sting's (none of them where Steve Borden, but one was Monty Brown), Shannon Moore also stole AJ Styles award for wrestler of the year

Once. I went to a show in Dublin back in 09.
It was my first time seeing a live wrestling show and it was really good.
I still remember the matches
Alex Shelley, Doug Williams, Eric Young in a 3way
Beautiful People vs ODB/Taylor Wilde
Samoa Joe vs Daivari in a squash
Dudleys vs Matt Morgan/Abyss
Beer Money vs Jay Lethal/Xavier Woods
Kurt Angle vs AJ Styles
Mick Foley also made an appearance

Went to a house show, pretty sure it was in 2009 or 2010, in Maine. The only time they ever came to Portland. Didn't draw real well but it was entertaining. Had a really good Kurt Angle vs Desmond Wolfe match.
