Best of the WORST of
TNA Wrestling!

 TNA
Wrestling has had many great moments and matches over it's thirteen
years of delivering Total Non-Stop Action. However, in delivering
great wrestling there's always a few unexpected bumps in the road.
What was the worst? What drove fans to stand up in unison to boo and
chant "Fire Russo"? The worst matches? The worst moments? The
storyline that left us scratching our heads? Well all of us here at
TNA-Furs went through the TNA Wrestling DVD vault and scraped the
disgusting moments at the very bottom. So sit back with barf-bags
ready as we present the garbage juice that is . . . The BEST of the
WORST of TNA Wrestling!

Scott Hall & X-Pac
- The Band of No-Shows

 We
start off our countdown with two wrestling legends; Scott Hall and
X-Pac. TNA unfortunately kept making the mistake of booking these two
individuals on the program despite them no-showing numerous times.
X-Pac was teaming with Alex Shelley for a special Chris Candido
Tournament at Unbreakable 2005
when he no-showed. However, TNA did bring him back for the Final
Resolution 2006 pay-per-view.
 Scott
Hall on the other hand was back and forth with the company. However
when Scott Hall no-showed for the six-man tag team main event at the
Turning Point 2007 due
to an alleged case of food-poisoning, it spared anger from the TNA
roster, particularly Samoa Joe who was told to cut a promo that went
way too long.
 However
both of these men were brought back in 2010 to team with Kevin Nash
and form "The Band" and they went on to win the Tag Team Titles.
But when X-Pac no-showed Lockdown 2010 that
was the end of X-Pac in TNA. Scott Hall left soon-after.

Blindfold
Cage Match

 It
was a traumatic moment when during a Ladder Match James Storm smashed
a beer bottle into Hernandez's head, however some of the glass flew
into his America's Most Wanted tag team partner Chris Harris'
eye, temporarily blinding him. Harris would be gone for months and in
the meantime James Storm proclaimed that Chris Harris was just dead
weight and he wanted to venture out on his own. Well Chris Harris
made his return to the ring in time for the Lockdown
2007
pay-per-view where they would wrestle inside the steel cage. Seems
like the perfect story . . . except for one thing. They made this
cage match a blindfold match as well.
 This
probably isn't a spoiler to most but wrestlers can see just fine
out of the blindfolds (black bags) they use and it's up to the
wrestler to pretend that they can't see. Well the whole blind
aspect went on forever and kept this from being what it should have
been, which was a violent steel cage brawl. The crowd booed this
match like crazy and chanted "Boring". What should have been an
epic fight between these two, in a huge feud between this long-time
successful tag team became a debacle. But they did have their epic
brawl in a Texas Death Match at Sacrifice
2007. But
this cage match, forget it.


#23.
Dixie
Carter Administration


 In
the later-part of 2013 TNA President Dixie Carter became the evil
over-bearing boss (obviously a page out of WWE's playbook). While I
personally was a fan of this change it did have it's bad parts.
Dixie and her administration of Magnus, Ethan Carter the Third, and
Rockstar Spud were all over the show every week to the point of where
the program became simply unwatchable for a while with their constant
domination promos (a lot of these early ones not very good) and it
affected ALL of the wrestlers on the show, so it was constant. The
other sacrifice was Magnus. Magnus won the TNA World Heavyweight
Championship at Final Resolution 2013 in
the famous "Dixieland Match" (a match gimmick I still thought
actually worked). However while Magnus tried to stand on his own feet
and be his own champion, the Dixie Administration kept getting
involved his matches, making him look like a loser of a World
Champion. Magnus would lose the title in April to Eric Young.


#22.
Black
Tie Brawl & Chain Match

 One
of many Russo/Mantell match creations. In 2008 there was a
love-triangle between Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt as they went after
SoCal Val. After Sonjay ruined their Macho Man-esque wedding at
Slammiversary 2008
a special match was made for Hard
Justice 2008, a
"Black Tie Brawl and Chain Match" This match is a Chain Match
where the two combatants are tied together by a long metal chain
while wearing tuxedos. The way to win was by pin-fall or by ripping
the tuxedo off your opponent.

This match went on forever as these two high-fliers tried to rip
each others tuxedos off. Their fancy dress shirts kept getting caught
up in the chain, so the ripped shirt kept moving whenever the chain
moved. While the match was roughly 15-minutes it felt like an
eternity as they tried to make a X-Division/violent match by this
ridiculous stipulation. The fans in the arena (including a plainly
seen AJ Lee in the front row) started booing and chanting "Boring"
and "Fire Russo" (Vince Russo's the guy who wrote for TNA
making a lot of these matches concepts). Eventually they went for a
pin-fall victory and ended the match. There was never another Black
Tie Brawl and Chain Match.


#21.
Angle/Jarrett/Karen
Love Triangle 


 Now
we go from a storyline love triangle to a real-life triangle. Kurt
Angle and his wife Karen Angle both worked in TNA. However it was
revealed in 2009 that Karen Angle and TNA Owner Jeff Jarrett were
romantically together while Karen was still married. As a result Jeff
Jarrett was stripped of his ownership of TNA and becoming simply a
wrestler while Kurt was given more power in the company. Jeff Jarrett
and Karen Angle married in July 2010.
 In
2011 TNA decided to take this real-life situation and make it into a
storyline on TV. This led to a series of down-right depressing promos
about how bad their marriage really was along along with bad skits.
In a series of matches where The Jarretts did everything they could
to get Kurt Angle out of TNA. Kurt would go on to lose a series most
of his matches and later on the storyline would also involve his
children. There were some fun moments but the story came off simply
uncomfortable and down-right depressing to watch on television. This
eventually led to a match between Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett at
Slammiversary 2011
that
even Kurt admits was not very good. Just real-life drama being turned
into a crappy storyline.


#20.
Makeover
Battle Royal

 Another
Russo/Mantell classic. At Sacrifice
2008 ten
TNA Knockouts were put in a Battle Royal for a shot at the Knockouts
Championship. Once the match comes down to a one-on-one situation
then it becomes a Ladder Match for the contract. The winner would get
the title shot and the loser would get her head shaved. The match
came down to Gail Kim and Roxxi Levaux. During the match Roxxi got a
bad gash on the top of her head before the Beautiful People came out
and helped Gail Kim win the match. As a result a bloodied Roxxi got
her head shaved in front of the crowd as they chanted "Fire Russo."
Head shavings always seem to end in a bloody fashion.


#19.
Ref
Bump

 It
was Sacrifice 2014
as
Bully Ray fought Bobby Roode in a Tables Match as one of the two
main-events of this pay-per-view. There were several moments that
made this show memorable and almost worthy of this countdown, Dixie
Carter putting Bully Ray through a Table, the Anderson/Shaw
"Committed Match" where the loser had to be sent to the nut house
. . . but there was one brief moment that tops them all.

During the Tables Match there was a spot where Bully Ray was set to
Powerbomb Bobby Roode through the table and Roode's foot was
supposed to catch the referee in the face and knock him out so he
wouldn't see Bobby go through the table. However, when Bully Ray
picked Roode, the referee came up about a foot short of his mark,
Roode's foot not even getting close to the referee. So the referee
went into quick thinking mode and suddenly stopped in his tracks and
took a wobbly step back and dropped down on his ass before being
"knocked out" in the corner of the ring. The referee made it look
like instead of being hit, he made it look like he had a brain
aneurism before falling over. The crowd laughed hysterically.
Botchamania!


#18.
Adam
"Pacman" Jones

 Pro
Football Player and corner-back of the Tennessee Titans, Adam
"Pacman" Jones signed a deal as a wrestler for TNA, particularly
as a part of a tag team. He teamed with R-Truth calling themselves
"Team Pacman" and they won the tag team titles at No
Surrender 2007.
However the Tennessee Titans put out a restraining order which barred
him from competing in the ring at all. So at Bound
for Glory 2007
TNA brought in a wrestler named Consequences Creed (now known in WWE
as Xavier Woods) before Team Pacman lost the tag team titles to AJ
Styles and Tomko, Pacman was never seen again on TNA and R-Truth left
for WWE. This idea started with a little interest (even though the
fans booed a lot at the use of Jones) but quickly fizzled out into a
bad idea. See what happens when you don't think things out?


#17.
Kurt
Angle Rejects the Hall of Fame

 It
was announced at Bound
for Glory 2013 Kurt
Angle would be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. They had a big
dinner for the occasion the night before and during the show when it
came time to give Kurt the ring, he said he didn't feel worthy of
the honor and left the ring. I figured this was for a future
storyline, possibly with his opponent later that night, Bobby Roode.
At the end of their match Kurt hit an Olympic Slam off the top rope
which knocked him out long enough for Roode to get the three-count
(which I thought was idiotic). Then Angle was put on a stretcher only
to walk out on his own accord (which made it pointless). I thought
this would lead to a story where Angle would face Roode and when he
won he would feel worthy of accepting the Hall of Fame . . . but
nope! This was done for nothing! Maybe someone out there can clarify
but I don't believe Kurt Angle ever claimed the Hall of Fame ring.
A dumb moment that still gets under my skin.


#16.
Bound
for Glory 2009 Shenanigans

 A
lot of people tell me that Bound
for Glory 2009 is
a fantastic event, even being TNA's version of Wrestlemania
X-Seven (WWE's
greatest show), and I would think the same thing if there wasn't
several different instances that left me scratching my head.


Booker
T - This was Booker T's last night in the company and he was
part of a four-team Full Metal Mayhem Match for both the TNA Tag
Team Championships and the IWGP Tag Team Championships. But early in
the match he called for the referee saying he was hurt. I still have
never seen Booker get injured, and with Booker T's reputation of
having lackluster work-ethic while he was in TNA I'm guessing this
was just a way to get out of this match since this was his last
night in the company.



Tara - During the Awesome Kong vs. ODB vs. Tara Knockouts
Championship Triple Threat Match Tara got clotheslined out of the
ring and ended up in the front row where a woman got up and
confronted Tara. Tara freaked out and left the match. She would come
back a few minutes later as if nothing happened . . . so why the
hell did Tara leave? I did my research that the woman was MMA
fighter Kim Couture and there were plans for her to face Tara in an
MMA match that fell through. But if you're like me and just
watching the show with no research it just looked like Tara left
because of a stalker or something.



Did Joe Tap? - Bobby Lashley fought Samoa Joe in a highly
anticipated Submission match but every time I see it I can't ever
see Samoa Joe tapping or submitting, just the referee quickly
signaling for the bell. And before I try to figure out what happened
they cut away to the next match.



Daffney - During the "Monster's Ball Match" between Mick
Foley and Abyss, Daffney came out to get involved when she was
shoved off the top rope and crashed through a barbed-wire board
(which was very graphic, there's also footage of her being worked
on on the DVD). She claims she got a broken arm but actually got a
concussion. This led to a lawsuit between TNA Wrestling and Daffney
that eventually settled out of court in March of 2013.


#15.
Ric
Flair - Post-Retirement

 Remember
at WWE's Wrestlemania
XXIV where
Ric Flair faced Shawn Michaels and Flair lost the Retirement Match
where he had to retire from wrestling. Also he was inducted into the
WWE Hall of Fame the night before and got a big fancy send-off and a
tearful goodbye? Ok good . . . now forget all of that noise because
he started wrestling again in TNA.
 He
first was thrown into a bloody tag team match as he tamed with AJ
Styles to take on Hulk Hogan and Abyss in March 2010 on Impact.
A very good match, one of my favorites actually, I guess that's no
big deal, one more match. Then he wrestled Jay Lethal at Victory
Road 2010
where he submitted (rather quickly I might add). Then he wrestled
Matt Morgan on Impact, then the Lethal Lockdown match at Lockdown
2011 replacing
Jeff Hardy, plus some live event matches, before having his final
match against Sting an Impact
9.15.11.
A lot of people were very critical of Flair wrestling in rather
mediocre matches and felt that really tarnished his legacy after
retiring. The match against Sting was his last match.


#14.
Aces
& 8s

 In
2012 there was an unknown group of thugs who kept attacking TNA
Wrestlers. After winning a big tag team match against Bully Ray and
Sting at Bound for
Glory 2012 they
were allowed free access into the Impact Zone after they revealed
that the leader of the Aces & 8s was Bully Ray's former tag
team partner and Television Champion, Devon. Over time, more of the
wrestlers were revealed, mostly consisting of former WWE Superstars.
Now I would stop right here, but this group was ALL OVER THE PROGRAM
as more mid-card guys and non-wrestlers were added to the group. From
Taz (commentator) to D'Lo Brown (backstage agent), and everyone in
between.


Over time people grew to hate the group and a lot say the product
suffered as wrestlers (and non-wrestlers) would constantly come down
to the ring and interrupt matches. Also it exploded into a huge
group, then some left the group, there were also feuds within the
group. It had it's mixed reviews. One positive is that it brought
Bully Ray to the main-event level and got him the TNA World
Heavyweight Championship, but at the cost of a lot of TV time and
very low ratings. Aces & 8s eventually disbanded in November
2013.


#13.
Four-Sided
Ring

 One
of the interesting parts of TNA that made them stand out from any
other promotion was the Six-Sided Ring. Fans loved it, was great for
the X-Division and high-flying style TNA built it's company on, and
made themselves a nice alternative to WWE. However in 2010 when Hulk
Hogan and Eric Bischoff came into the company they made several
changes, and at Genesis
2010 one
of their big changes was switching to a traditional 4-sided ring
(which also came as a surprise to the wrestlers as they were
uninformed until they got there). Hulk Hogan referred to the 6-sided
ring as "playground wrestling" and when the Genesis
2010 crowd
chanted "We Want Six Sides" Hogan said, "Hey, you tried it, and
it only got you so far." AJ Styles has admitted in interviews that
he hated the switch but it did become easier and safer to wrestle and
take bumps on, however this is one of the changes that alienated some
fans from the product. Hogan left TNA in October 2013. TNA
re-introduced the 6-sided ring in June 2014.


#12.
Orlando
Jordan

 Orlando
Jordan was signed to TNA Wrestling into 2010 and they gave him an
over-the-top bisexual character (playing off him being bisexual in
real life). To do this TNA had him dress up in odd sparking outfits
(or nothing but caution tape for his debut) and created a
controversial talk-show called "The O-Zone." He would talk about
sexual fantasies as he feuded with TNA Global Champion Rob Terry (who
was known for his massive physique). The segment kept going over the
top, there was even a segment where Orlando simulated cumming on
himself that was banned from being shown on Spike. Orlando would
later be teamed up with Eric Young, sporting leopard skin outfits and
sucking on lollipops. Orlando Jordan left TNA in 2011.


#11.
Willow

 From
one strange character to another. Jeff Hardy got screwed out of his
chance to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Final
Resolution 2013 due
to the actions of Dixie Carter and her administration. The next week
Jeff claimed he quit TNA. A few months later Jeff Hardy would come
back as a wrestler who dressed in all-black, wearing a white mask,
and sporting an umbrella. He started talking (and even groaning in
the ring whenever he got hit) in a crazy manor as the character
"Willow." The concept of Willow (Jeff Hardy's brainchild)
failed to bring in audiences and a lot of people found the change
idiotic. TNA was heavily criticized for taking arguably their most
popular wrestler and turning him into a completely different
character. Willow would win a few matches and would go on to team
with Abyss. The Willow character ended a few short months later.


#10.
VKM

 The
James Gang (formerly WWE's New Age Outlaws) started a revolution
against WWE for their use of D-Generation X on their program (a group
that they were a big part of back in the day). They changed their
name to the Voodoo Kin Mafia or VKM (a play on the initials of
Vincent Kennedy McMahon, owner of WWE). They went on making $100,000
challenges to WWE, doing parody skits of D-Generation X recent from
WWE (so a parody of a parody?), going to WWE live events proclaiming
TNA was invading. They eventually ended the feud when on the January
1st
2007 episode of WWE Monday
Night Raw when
there were loud chants of "TNA" during parts of their show which
McMahon refused to acknowledge. The program was also dropped due to
Triple H's injury. This program was made with good intentions, to
build TNA pride, but failed on many levels.


#9.
Nation
of Violence

 After
Samoa Joe lost the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Sting at
Bound for Glory
2008 he
was injured by an attack from the Main Event Mafia. Months later he
came back sporting special markings on his face and sporting a
machete, proclaiming he was the warrior of a larger "Nation of
Violence." My guess is this was TNA's attempt to make Samoa Joe a
bad guy but didn't work and it looked more goofy than badass,
especially for an extremely popular wrestler that was already seen as
the best badass in the company. People wanted to see him wrestle, and
not come out portraying this persona. The gimmick thankfully ended a
few months later.


#8.
Frank
Trigg

 TNA
has no problem getting into bed with MMA (mainly because of Spike)
and while I've criticized MMA involvement in the past, this one is
the worst. At No
Surrender 2008 AJ
Styles faced off against MMA Superstar Frank Trigg in an MMA
Exhibition match. While this match was short it did it's damage as
the fans in Canada started booing and chanting "Boring" and "We
Want Wrestling." The crowd did start to pick up a little when AJ
Styles started getting the edge up on Trigg but it led to a strike
that created an inadvertent low-blow, costing him the fight. The fans
finished by chanting "This Is Bullshit." We want wrestling on a
wrestling show!


#7.
Claire
Lynch

 In
2012 AJ Styles was accused by Christopher Daniels and Kazarian of
having a sexual relationship with TNA President Dixie Carter. Over a
series of weeks they got photographs that revealed that he was in
fact not with Dixie, but with someone who was a drug addict and
closely affiliated with her who had also become pregnant. The woman
was revealed to be a rather unattractive woman named Claire Lynch..
Eventually a paternity test revealed that she was not pregnant ending
the storyline. In their respective shoot Interviews Styles, Kazarian,
and Daniels revealed that the storyline was very poorly booked.
Claire Lynch was supposed to someone that was hot and was supposed to
be Dixie Carter's niece (Lynch was revealed on TV as her nanny
instead). So yeah, this storyline sucked.
 In
2014 WWE dragged it on by having it be a small ludicrous part of the
Brie Bella/Stephanie McMahon feud in which Daniel Bryan was accused
of cheating on Brie. "Claire Lynch" trended on Twitter during
Monday Night Raw
as
a result.


#6.
Homicide
Climbing Steel Asylum

 On
the infamous January 4th
2010 episode of Impact
had
a Steel Asylum Match that Homicide was supposed to win which would
lead to the big return of Jeff Hardy. Homicide tried hard to climb
the Steel Asylum but kept falling off the cage. As he kept trying to
climb out the top, the match ended in a no-contest (obviously since
Homicide couldn't get out of the cage). Homicide kept trying to
climb out and he hung up on the roof forever (on a rare LIVE
broadcast). Soon enough all of the X-Division guys started climbing
the cage before Homicide fell from the cage yet again. A moment later
Jeff Hardy's music played as he entered into the Impact Zone,
making his return to TNA after a 4-year absence. Homicide was
eventually let out of the Steel Asylum cage through one of the
structure's walls that had been opened for him by TNA staff to
continue the segment. It doesn't help that this piece of footage is
constantly brought up on countless DVDs. There was never another
Steel Asylum Match.


#5.
Electrified
Cage Match

 That
was not the only Steel Cage fail in TNA. At Lockdown
2007 LAX
was set to defend their NWA Tag Team Championships against Team 3D.
After a series of unique but very good matches on pay-per-view they
were set to blow off this feud in an "Electrified Steel Cage Match"
where 50'000 volts of electricity ran through the cage. Sounds like
a helluva an idea . . . until you actually see it. Every single time
anyone hit the cage what would happen was not brutality, but a weird
buzzing sound and the lights flickering in the arena. This match was
a mess of an already idiotic and hoaky idea (didn't help that they
were given the dark Sin Cara lighting so it was hard to see already).
Team 3D won the Tag Team Titles and there was never another
Electrified Cage Match.


#4.
Rob
Van Dam Killed?

 In
August 2010 on a special "Whole F'n Show" edition of Impact
Rob
Van Dam defended his TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a Stairway
to Janice Match (A ladder match where you climbed the ladder to get
Janice which was the name of Abyss' weapon which was a 2x4 with
nails in it . . . yeah just go with it). Later on in the night the
camera cut backstage to Rob Van Dam with his singlet shredded and his
body graphically cut up with gashes all over his body and lying in a
pool of his own blood . . . a LOT of blood. I don't think I have to
explain that the blood and whatnot is fake, but oh my Gawd they went
way way way WAY over-the-top with this. Watching this I thought Rob
Van Dam was supposed to be dead. Rob Van Dam would make his return
two months later for the Bound
for Glory 2010 pay-per-view,
but this moment was just absolutely stupid. You overdid this one
guys.


#3.
AJ
Styles and Sting Leave TNA In Same Month

 In
January 2014 the Dixie Carter Administration was running rampid on
Impact.
Sting was mad that Dixie had become the over-bearing jackass of a
boss and how Magnus had won the World Title with the help of the
Dixie Carter Administration. Sting was then forced into a Title vs.
Career match against Magnus where if Sting won he would win the World
Title but if he lost he would leave TNA. The match became a
depressing and overbooked mess as a ton of wrestlers came down to
help Magnus. Kurt Angle came out to even up the odds and clear the
ring. The referee then got inadvertently knocked out and then Sting
got taken out and lost the match. Sting never appeared on TNA again.
 AJ
Styles, after winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Bound
for Glory 2013 he
left TNA with the title. As a result Styles was stripped of the Title
and they did a tournament where Magnus became the new Champion. But
two weeks after the Sting departure Styles returned sporting the
original Title Belt and demanded an "All Or Nothing" type of
match to determine the true TNA Champion (gee, I wonder where that
idea came from). In yet another overbooked mess where tons of
wrestlers come in to beat down on AJ Styles and Magnus won the match
and became the true Champion, AJ Styles left TNA.

It bugged me so much that this was how TNA sent-off two of their
biggest superstars that had been with the company for many years. AJ
Styles went on the independent scene (his extremely successful one at
that) and Sting went on to WWE.


#2.
Sharmelle
vs. Jenna

 After
Jenna Morasca from Survivor
(who
was playing Kevin Nash's girlfriend on TV) threw in the towel
during an I Quit Match between Booker T and AJ Styles at Sacrifice
2009
which caused Booker T to lose the match. Booker T's wife Sharmelle
came down to the ring scolding Jenna for her actions. This led to a
match between the two non-wrestlers at Victory
Road 2009
with Awesome Kong and Sojournor Bolt . . . oh boy here we go.

Jenna entered the ring wearing a very revealing outfit and slowly
got in the ring over the bottom rope that showed off her ass and
asshole (in an extreme closeup) while Sharmelle came out in a
sparking blue dress that had feathery stuff on it which came off
during the match. It's no surprise that these two are not wrestlers
so the match isn't going to be very good . . . but this was awful.


They kept trying to do simple moves and failing, they would do slaps
on each other that came nowhere near to each others faces. Jenna
would take Sharmelle down and try to do a catfight spot, but none of
the crowd cared and were too busy laughing and booing at this match.
Sojournor Bolt got knocked off the apron and Awesome Kong was clearly
supposed to catch her but Bolt overshot her jump (I'm surprised she
didn't go into the crowd) and she bounced off of Kong's shoulder
before nearly landing on her head on the ground. Awesome Kong didn't
even care enough to catch her. This match finally ended when Jenna
did a weird sex-dance as she squatted down and pinned Sharmelle. Just
. . . wow. And I'm being brief to make this as painless as possible
here folks. If your into being sick to your stomach, watch this on
YouTube. You won't be disappointed.


#1.
Victory
Road 2011

 These
last two moments were the ultimate debate, but this one just barely
wins. At Victory Road
2011 Sting was set to
defend his TNA World Heavyweight Championship after recently winning
it from Jeff Hardy on Impact
3.3.11. There was some
interest in this main event (even though this and Against
All Odds 2011 were a
string on pay-per-views where none of the matches were announced
until 3 days beforehand), the video packages throughout the show were
great, the re-match was anticipated, and to be perfectly honest the
rest of the event before this was actually very good. Falls Count
Anywhere Match between Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer is one of my
favorite matches ever, Ultimate X was great, Matt Hardy and AJ Styles
stole the show in their match . . . but then the main event.

Sting came out like normal for his match then it came time for Jeff
Hardy to come out, and his music played forever. After over half the
entrance song played Jeff finally made his way out. He kinda stumbled
out to the ring, walking slowly and holding onto the posts to get
himself in the ring (honestly I didn't notice anything too
different yet when I was watching). Eric Bischoff then came out and
spoke privately to Sting before announcing this match at a No DQ.
Bischoff got punched by Sting for his troubles. Jeff Hardy then took
off his shirt and kept getting ready to throw it out to the crowd.
After about nearly a minute of shirt teasing he finally dropped his
shirt. Sting and him locked up and did a few shots in the corner
before Sting turned Jeff around and dropped him with the Scorpion
Death Drop and pinned him for the three-count. The match lasted 78
seconds.

According to interviews and shoots Jeff Hardy was found 10 minutes
before the match pilled out of his mind and unable to compete. Eric
Bischoff told Sting to "Just bring this one home" ending the
match as fast as possible. They then did highlights of the entire
show (to make up for some time) before the pay-per-view ended.


Now I don't work for TNA so I don't know what goes into
production, but I wondered why they couldn't stick someone else out
there. But they may have had no choice. As a result all the people
who purchased the pay-per-view were given a free month of TNA Video
Vault and Jeff Hardy was written out of television for the next
several months to undergo rehab. Jeff Hardy would return in October
of that year.Check out the Official TNA-Furs Page on Furaffinity - http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tna-furs
