Total Nonstop Action ([[TNA]]) may be somewhat more hardcore than [[WWE]], but it certainly shares its propensity for idiotic ideas.
 
'''''Important Note #1''''': If something bad was an isolated incident or simply stupid, it was probably a [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)/Professional Wrestling|Wall Banger]]. Merely being offensive in its subject matter is not enough to justify a work as So Bad It's Horrible. Hard as it is to imagine at times, there's a market for all types of deviancy (no matter how small a niche it is). It has to ''fail to appeal even to that niche'' to qualify as this. To qualify as So Bad It's Horrible ''here'', it should have actually damaged the business in some way — i.e., hurt a wrestler's drawing value and offended real-life fans to the point that they quit watching.
 
'''''Important Note #2''''': If you're here to mention the fact that TNA isn't hardcore all the time and proceed to say that's not how [[ECW]] played (as TNA has most of the same wrestlers), please don't. Despite its name, ECW wasn't always all hardcore all the time, as evidenced by the Malenko/Guerrero matches.
Line 18:
** As for the matches themselves:
*** The FBI (consisting of [Little] Guido Mariato, Tony [Mama]Luke, and Tracy Smothers, with Sal E. Graziano) was featured in a six-man tag team match against Kid Kash, Simon Diamond, and Swinger. The ''opening'' match at a "hardcore" ECW reunion show ended in a '''dance off'''.
*** Team 3D fought Balls Mahoney (wrestling under the name "Kahoney" for this PPV) and Axl Rotten in what is one of the worst matches of the past decade, culminating in the two men fighting with ''toy lightsabers'' and treating a styrofoam head as a steel chair.
*** The match with Tommy Dreamer and [[Wrestler/Raven|Raven]] was deeply disturbing. Aside from the fact that both men are beyond out of shape, Dixie Carter (the "[[Sarcasm Mode|brains]]" of TNA) thought there would be nothing wrong with having Tommy Dreamer's young daughters in the front row for a match she knew Tommy would blade for. Never mind the whole story behind it being that Dreamer is somehow ''surprised'' when Raven turns heel "all of a sudden" before the PPV.
**** [[Mick Foley]] was the special guest referee, and brought out Mr. Socko without a trace of irony, even though at the second ECW ''One Night Stand'', he brought it out to generate boos from the ballroom [[Periphery Hatedom|because the Mutants hate Mr. Socko]]. (He was playing a heel back then.)
