To go from being the biggest wrestling promotion in the world for 84 consecutive weeks, to getting bought out by your bitterest rivals, takes a lot of mistakes. But such was the story of WCW. With all the screw ups and major blunders of its last couple of years, you'd think that any new company coming along in their wake would seem them as a cautionary tale. Doing absolutely anything to avoid repeating the same errors in judgement that led to AOL Time Warner taking them off television and throwing them on the wrestling scrapheap. In 2002, Jerry and Jeff Jarrett unveiled their new promotion, TNA, which they hoped would attract the millions of wrestling fans who used to watch WCW, but had since slipped away from wrestling completely. Eventually, Panda Energy took control of TNA, and Dixie Carter would come in and run the company. They're still around today, and have been in business for the last 13 years (that's almost twice as long as ECW were in business) but in only one of those years has the organisation turned a profit. With the talent at its disposal, the company should have been a lot more successful that it's proved to be. But a look at these 10 booking and business catastrophes - near identical to incidents in WCW - paints a much bleaker picture.
