10 Stupidest Things That Ever Happened In TNA

10. RDV

Fancy a laugh?

If you do, TNA has you covered from the get go. In 2010, Rob Van Dam debuted for the company - he was a major acquisition at the time, but the promotion immediately f*cked things up by having Sting belt him around for five minutes with a baseball bat. There's more on that feud later.

For now, full focus goes on TNA's merch department. Those fine folks genuinely released a shirt that got Van Dam's name wrong. Seriously, examine the graphic above. That close-up from the t-shirt in question reveals that TNA's merchandise monkeys mis-printed Rob's shorthand name as "RDV".

Rob Dam Van? Sounds like a cheap knock-off from some sort of mid-90s arcade wrestling game on the SNES rather than the real deal. In fairness, TNA rectified this mistake after a few days, but just imagine the lack of faith customers had in management when they clocked that one. Someone out there has the weirdest of souvenirs.
