So Bad It's Horrible/Professional Wrestling/TNA: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"God, this was horrible! This show didn't have a single match above two-and-a-half stars. It had one match<ref>Jenna Morasca vs. Sharmell</ref> that I gave '''[[Broke the Rating Scale|minus-five stars]]'''!"''|'''Bryan Alvarez''', on ''Victory Road '09''}}

 

* J-Woww from ''[[Jersey Shore]]'' was paid $15,000 to make a one-night appearance. Everyone hated the segment, even before it aired — but the worst part about all of this is despite the fact that many of TNA's brightest talents live in poverty, they still continually hire non-celebrities. Jenna Morasca (from ''Survivor''), Pacman Jones (on suspension from the NFL for paralyzing a man in a strip club shooting), and Christy Hemme (who gets paid six figures to do backstage interviews in TNA) all made big money while the average Knockout is lucky to get $400 a show.

* Tara lost the Knockout Title in a [[Finger-Poke of Doom]] match against Madison Rayne just three days after winning it at ''Bound For Glory''. No one, in the history of wrestling, has ever liked a Fingerpoke of Doom match in any way: it kills a title's prestige, it pisses off the audience, and it kills the momentum of whatever angle is happening at the time. Oh, and one Fingerpoke of Doom match between Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan '''''helped kill WCW.'''''

** First off, [[AJ Styles]] and Tomko grow into a first-rate tag team by backing up Christian Cage together throughout 2007. The Coalition are popular villains due to a comedic bent in their segments in which it's apparent that these guys at least really enjoy working together. AJ's career is saved from floundering and kept afloat through the influx of established name talent which started with Christian and Sting because of this team. Tomko's subtle development as a wrestler and as a character despite being a backgrounder is so popular with fans that they've started to ''chant his name'' during appearances with Christian. Styles and Tomko eventually end the aforementioned Team Pacman abomination and become Tag Team Champions at ''Bound For Glory'', TNA's biggest showcase. Yet only a month later, they not only distract Christian by coming out when he said not to, costing him a match that would've got him back in the TNA World Championship picture, but later they go and help [[Kurt Angle]] (one of Christian's sworn enemies from earlier in the year and a [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|major league airtime thief himself]] for months since his own [[Face Heel Turn]]) retain said title.

** The next few weeks see AJ trying to bring Christian's Coalition and this newly formed "Angle Alliance" together but suddenly becomes incompetent when it comes to helping Christian, with Tomko giving subtle notes that he knows creating an [[Enemy Mine]] out of thin air will fail. Heavy implications are made that [[The Vamp|Kurt's wife]] seduced and conned AJ into it all. He's eventually humiliated by losing matches that get him into reindeer and turkey suits to the tune of less than no sympathy from Kurt. Meanwhile Tomko has a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] with his "Tomko's for Tomko" speech, which Kurt (who demanded he pick a side) tries to sucker punch him for ''but Christian approves of'', then starts outright telling AJ he has to pick a side. AJ finds "help" from a bunch of guys but still can't make a decision until ''Final Resolution'' in January 2008, where he pretends to side with Christian but then turns on him...because ''[[Hot Mom|Karen]] seduced him again in a bathroom stall and told him to do it.'' How so many of the same purist [[Smart Mark|smarks]] that were clamoring for AJ to be split from Christian in the first place can look at that and ''still'' act like the Coalition is what was holding AJ back is incredible, because this took AJ Styles' character from a lovable idiot kid brother into a complete moron.
