TNA's Worst Wrestling Sins

[Gimmick]

TNA has messed up a lot of things over the years but I think they did the most damage in 2010.

Making Hogan and Bischoff the two main guys on the roster, giving AJ Styles that Ric Flair gimmick, making factions galore, thinking they could compete with WWE by moving to Mondays, bringing in guys like Sean Morley, Hall, Nash, Waltman etc, while then either misusing or releasing the likes of Daniels, Joe, Wolfe, Styles and so many other guys.

Seriously, if 2010 wasn't such a big mess I'd probably still be watching TNA today.

Moving to Monday's was by far the worst thing they ever did imo.

Oh come on. I bet TNA really thought that they can start another Monday Night War with the WWE.

The biggest mistake they've made is keeping all the dinosaurs around as long as they did and then push them above all the guys they had who could outwork all those shells of their former selves. Their young guys (for the most part) put on great in ring performances, so why didn't they try to play on that instead of leeching off of the WWE's former talent pool?

They have made quite a few big mistakes. Trying to go head to head with WWE on Monday nights has to take the prize. Hogan and Bischoff got in Dixie's head and the mark in her really thought that they could do it when anyone outside of TNA knew that it wouldn't work. They had a good thing going on Thursdays at the time and if they had instead went live on Thursdays it may have made more of an impact.

Putting too much emphasis on old over the top wrestlers hasn't helped them either. By all means use them early on when you are trying to establish a brand but there comes a point when talent that TNA has developed should have taken over the mainevent scene. Yes you utilise big names occasionally but you don't have them completely hog the spotlight with their huge wages.

Glad to see Monty Brown mentioned here. He should have been their huge home grown star and yet they never pulled that trigger and put the title on him. He could have been the fresh face to push them forward but instead it focussed on JJ and Raven.

Not pushing the Knockouts to the max when they constantly outrated everything on the show. They should have given them their own show instead of going with TNA Reaction.
