19 WTF Moments From TNA Impact (Oct 7)

18. Matt Hardy Vacates The TNA World Title...Because Bull****

The biggest shock this week was that, after winning the TNA World Title at Sunday's Bound for Glory event, Matt Hardy announced on YouTube that he was vacating the title due to an injunction filed by EC3, where he claimed that Dixie Carter and others were colluding against him to lose the title. The injunction prevented Hardy from appearing on Impact and as such the TNA Title also, so Hardy decided to jump on the grenade so to speak, and rather than hold up the company's future, he agreed to hand the title back to TNA. If the plan was always just to take the title off him, then why on Earth did they give it to him in the first place over the far more deserving and better-suited Drew Galloway? It makes no sense at all. Of all the storyline gaffes TNA have made over the years, this is surely one of the most egregiously terrible. Even for the lax standards of wrestling logic, this is just poor.
