10 Terrible Wrestling Storylines With Great Matches

Much of the criticism aimed at TNA during its hey-day was that ex-WWE and WCW veterans were being pushed at the expense of homegrown stars like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels.

With that in mind, the birth of The Main Event Mafia - a heel stable of 40 and 50-somethings who conspired to keep their younger counterparts from reaching the top of the card - kind of made sense. They certainly wouldn't be short of boos, anyway.

The problem, however, was that there was rarely any sense that the angle was being used to put over said homegrown stars. Instead, we watched MEM hold all of the TNA gold, and then later - for some reason - Joe join their ranks after turning his back on the Frontline.

It felt like a hasty re-hash of the equally perplexing Millionaire's Club from latter-day WCW - but unlike latter-day WCW, TNA still knew how to deliver the goods inside the ring. The Lethal Lockdown encounter in 2009 is still a must-see for anyone who loves a good cage match.
