Top 5 worst moments in the history of TNA Impact Wrestling

It is a surprise that TNA has been around for as long as it has been in spite of Jeff Hardy and other WWE outcasts being in their ranksImpact Wrestling moved to Tuesday nights owing to its new deal with POP TV and the promotion that had been earmarked for a swift demise ever since it burst onto the scene more than a decade ago is still refusing to lie down and die.While there have been many positives in the company’s history – notably the Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe feud, the high flying X-Division and the various breaks they gave to talented wrestlers like Sting,Rob Van Dam, Booker.T ,The Hardys and the Dudleys.However, Impact Wrestling – or TNA – by which it was known earlier have been infamous for absurd storylines as well. Remember Sting’s Joker persona inspired by Heath Ledger or the notoriously confusing rules of the King of the Mountain match?Well, the lows far outweigh the highs. Here is a look at the top 5 worst moments in the promotions history.

#5 Blindfold steel cage match

A thing of beauty – no way!!!!

Yup, you heard it right. Due to the sheer absurdity of the concept, this pips the electrified steel cage match that happened between Team 3D (The Dudleys) and LAX into fifth place on this list.

A blindfold match can be used for comedic value, like how the WWE did with Santino Marella or it can feature  one person alone in the blindfold as some sort of punishment. But when both are blindfolded – well, they might end up hitting the referee instead.

The blindfold steel cage match had former partners in America’s Most Wanted – James Storm and Chris Harris fighting it out inside a steel cage with a piece of cloth covering their faces. How TNA expected both the wrestlers to have a wrestling match in these conditions is an actual mystery – but when you read the rest of the entries in the list, it might not surprise you.

The two spent most of the match trying to figure out the location of the other and two talented athletes who had just come off the split of one of the most popular tag teams in TNA history were booked to look like a couple of chumps. Hey – at least, there wasn’t anything on a pole for them to pick up!
