10 Precise Moments TNA Was The Best Wrestling Show On Earth

7. Jeff Jarrett Bloodies Hulk Hogan In NJPW

Almost all of this went absolutely nowhere after the fact, but without knowing that at the time there was an awful lot to enjoy about Jeff Jarrett busting Hulk Hogan open with his guitar three years after their infamous Bash At The Beach worked shoot.

'The Hulkster' was barely removed from his most recent (and largely enjoyable) WWE run when he returned to New Japan Pro Wrestling for a spectacle clash with Masahiro Chono at Ultimate Crush II in October 2003. Dressed all in white to accentuate the claret he'd draw from his old WCW nemesis, 'Double J' burst in to Hogan's press conference after he'd made mention of "unfinished business" and wanting to win the NWA Heavyweight Championship.

The table was nicely set for the first ever Bound For Glory main event, but injuries to Hogan got in the way of a business relationship ever expanding beyond the odd promo or two. TNA at least had the footage and, and used it to further enhance Jeff Jarrett as their own insufferable take on Triple H.
