* ''Victory Road 2009'', regarded by many as one of the worst wrestling PPVs in years, and easily the worst PPV of 2009. Utterly predictable, especially after a couple of mind-numbingly moronic backstage segments that made it PAINFULLY CLEAR the Main Event Mafia was going to win every match, poorly booked, sub-par matches boring and uneventful even by TNA standards...but what sends this show into Horrible territory is the Sharmell vs. [[Survivor|Jenna Morasca]] "[https://web.archive.org/web/20091208160837/http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9xed1_sharmell-vs-jenna-morasca-victory-r_sport match]", a bout between two women who are absolutely not wrestlers that goes on for nearly 10 excruciating minutes. The reaction from the audience says it all.
* [[Samoa Joe]]'s 2009 [[Face Heel Turn]]. Joe changed his persona from a badass Samoan Submission Machine with an Elvis haircut to a [[Wild Samoan|tribal Samoan monster]] with a penis-like tattoo on his forehead, infuriating countless fans. Fortunately, he still remained a face and was taking out the members of the Main Event Mafia (led by [[Kurt Angle]]) one by one. A lot of people hated the Main Event Mafia because it was the umpteenth clone of the nWo stable with no new twist, and most fans would like to see that angle permanently retired. That wasn't what set people over the edge, though — after Joe took out every single member of the MEM, he fought [[Kurt Angle]] in the King of the Mountain match (easily one of the worst "[[Insistent Terminology|concept matches]]" of all time) and threw the match away so Kurt could win. This was done with ''[[Shocking Swerve|no foreshadowing whatsoever!]] '''[[Shocking Swerve|And the fans were pissed!]]'''''
* TNA made the [[Sarcasm Mode|brilliant decision]] to reenact the [[Monday Night Wars]] in the first half of 2010, despite the fact that they have consistently struggled to gain a fifth of the ratings [[WWE]] gets on its worst days. This in itself was merely a poor business decision, but the angles that were run at the time were easily the worst angles in years, including the [[Badass Decay]] of Abyss reaching its low point, [[Depraved Bisexual|Orlando Jordan's bisexuality becoming an angle]], Ric Flair and Hogan's WWE Hall of Fame rings becoming [[Plot Tumor|more valuable that the actual TNA Championship]], Bubba the Love Sponge being there at all, Tag Team Championship reigns so bad they've made the title worthless, and the recreation of the nWo even though everyone involved is over the hill. Within six months, TNA had to switch back to Thursday nights, and actually lost viewers in the long run due to this decision.
