10 Weirdest TNA Main Events Ever

Before they moved to a more traditional monthly structure, TNA used to run smaller weekly pay-per-views as their main form of broadcast. 

In total, 111 of these shows were produced over a two-year stretch and they provide wrestling historians with a treasure trove of wacky matches. Take this one from the fifth edition, which was closed out by legendary performer Scott Hall against... one third of Too Cool? 

Brian Lawler, the former Brian Christopher/Grandmaster Sexay, was a fixture of early TNA thanks to his stable Next Generation. He had main-evented Weekly PPV #3 with Hall as his partner, but after they lost to the team of Jeff Jarrett and K-Krush, their partnership soured. 

The pair had a pretty standard match that mostly involved the Bad Guy battering his opponent up and down the arena before pinning him. Scott Hall was the kind of name that could have main evented any show in the world, but the same simply wasn't true for Jerry's son.

This match should definitely have been swapped out for the X-Division title clash between AJ Styles and Low Ki, which went on immediately beforehand.
