* In 2008 & 2009, Eric Young underwent a huge amount of [[Character Development]] that saw him go from [[Comic Relief]] to the leader of the "World Elite". In 2010, he wound up regressing back to his [[Comic Relief]] role... after falling from the top rope to the outside of the ring & hitting his head. Now, think about this - the [[Chris Benoit]] murder-suicide is suspected to have happened because of the damage multiple concussions did to his brain. And TNA had one of their characters suffer a major concussion in a storyline, ''[[It Got Worse|and then continue wrestling]]'', purely so they could have a [[Comic Relief]] character, who's [[Your Mileage May Vary|comedy]] is essentially due to him being [[Too Dumb to Live]].
** He then dug through the trash and found the T.N.A. heavyweight belt that Immortal discarded and now thinks of himself as a champion thanks to encouragement from Brian "I flunked out of Jedi School" Kendrick.
** On an episode of ''[[B -Show|Xplosion]]'' where he took on Brutus Magnus, none of their history together as members of World Elite is referenced. Then again, this may fall under the [[Three Month Rule]]. But it's really jarring that Brutus didn't even mention in his pre-match interview that was he taking on his former stable mate let alone ''the leader'' of said stable.
* A more recent one that caused blood to paint many walls at is the sudden signing away of all rights of TNA by Dixie Carter. Taking away that we as the audience are supposed to believe Dixie is an intelligent businesswoman. She signed a contract without looking at it, and that's not the worse aspect. It is when Dixie's lawyer state that she signed the contract under false pretenses and could form a very legit court case, but somehow is ignored. In the same way a man was BRANDED WITH IRON!!
** Part of the stupidity came from her [http://twitter.com/TNADixie/status/27402451754 twitter] where she complains about Hulk and Eric running one company into the ground already, and they won't do it to TNA. Then why did she hire them in the first place?
Line 103:
*** And after they get the company, what do they do? When Dixie asks Hogan to say to her face that he screwed her and stole her company, '''he admits it.''' On national tv. Thereby giving Dixie's lawyer all the proof he needs to convict them of grand fraud. Less than an hour after her lawyer already said he was going to sue them for what they did. In what is looking like the fastest fraud case ever brought to court.
*** This doesn't even go in to Bischoff's fighting the case. He continues to keep mentioning how crucial it is that all the titles are held by members of Immortal. What that has to do with a fraud case is something best left for the hamster spinning the wheel in Bischoff's mind.
* Something that recently came up could be seen not only as a wallbanger but also as a [[Dethroning Moment of Suck (Darth Wiki)|Dethroning Moment of Suck]] when one considers at best how stupid it was and at worse how damaging to the wrestling business it could be, Hogan's speech on how TNA is now getting 'real' and no more 'kayfabe' and how 'nobody cares how many fake titles you've won'.
** As Hulk Hogan is being a Heel president, this is clearly supposed to be [[Punch Clock Villain|him showing his evil side.]] What makes it so, so horrible is TNA's real life habit of treating their wrestlers like crap. Even ''when they draw crowds'' they're treated like shit because Dixie and the rest of the higher-ups know they can get away with it. There's even an example in the damn speech. The "34 fake titles" part refers to 34-time tag team champions, <s>The Dudley Boyz</s> [[Writing Around Trademarks|Team 3D]], a heavy draw for TNA. Hogan had no reason to call them out: there's no storyline between them, and until this point, no backstage politics had been apparent. Now, however, he's basically called their careers worthless, completely unprovoked. (As for those who don't draw crowds, they do indeed get fired, but it's not like they're making much less than they were when they were still employed.)
** Here's a transcript:
