10 Worst Ever TNA Gimmicks

2. Hulk Hogan's Hall Of Fame Ring

A TNA performer trying to convince a TNA wrestler to regain his lost mojo by giving him a WWE Hall Of Fame ring, with the idea that the ring possessed supernatural powers of some sort that would transform the person wearing it and make them nearly invincible. No matter how many times you read that last paragraph, the entire thing doesn't begin to make any sense. For one, the idea of basically saying "you're not that good right now, but with the power of WWE, you can be amazing" during a TNA storyline boggles the mind with its stupidity. Hulk Hogan going through the motions during his entire TNA tenure only made things worse, and Abyss being such a one-dimensional performer was the cap to the "suck trifecta". As you can tell by many of the entries on this list, one of TNA's biggest problems through the years has been the fact that they come across as a hokey southern regional promotion from the 70's and 80's far more often than a worldwide powerhouse, and this was one of those times where they seemed to forget what decade they were in with the storylines they were putting together.
