History Awesome / TNA

* ''October 6, 2011'': Wrestling/{{Sting}}'s DangerouslyGenreSavvy quest to get Wrestling/HulkHogan to face him at ''Bound for Glory'' and/or turn the company back over to Dixie Carter has produced several terrific moments, but none quite as gratifying as the night he finally got it done. Hogan, a week ago, had announced his "[[TenMinuteRetirement retirement]]", and on this night was making his formal "final address", giving personal tribute to Hulkamania and to the fans "on the way out". Sting never bought it for a second; he'd [[FridgeBrilliance seen this]] [[FingerPokeOfDoom play out before]]. So instead of leaving it be, he came out in a red suit and Hulkamania shirt to call question to the whole thing and then to [[EngineeredPublicConfession expose it as a lie through video footage of Hulk and Eric laughing about their elaborate hoax]]. Hogan finally [[VillainousBreakdown had his meltdown]] and got so pissed off he agreed to everything Sting had been asking for this whole time on the double. The OpenMouthInsertFoot look on Hollywood's face...the crowd rejoicing at the fact that Hulk's reign is finally ''really'' about to come to an end after he tried to play them for fools...Sting ''laughing at Hogan'' as he walked up the ramp with his music on to end the show. All freakin' '''priceless'''.

* The #FINALDELETION between Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy, involving Jeff fighting Drones (sorry, AERIAL ASSAULT ROBOTS) with a guitar, Matt having a hologram, driving over Jeff's lawn with a lawnmower and drawing shapes int it, Senor Benjamin (Matt's Hispanic housekeeper), Matt playing the violin (claiming it was given to him by close personal friend Stradivari) to summon Matt and culminating in possibly the most cinematic, gloriously crazy match ever put in tape.

* TNA starts this 2015 in Destination America with a massive battle royale with the entire roster, followed by Wrestling/KurtAngle's return to action against [[Wrestling/MontelVontaviousPorter MVP]]. It also featured [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Awesome Kong]]'s return to the promotion, staring Havok after the Knockouts Match, concluding with not one, neither two... three {{Face Heel Turn}}s of Wrestling/SamoaJoe, Wrestling/LowKi and Eric Young. Biggest Crowning Moment of Awesome of the year ever.

** The following week on July 28, Beer Money finally shut up [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Mexican]] [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste America]]. After [[TheScrappy Anarquia]] called out Beer Money in his usual grating voice from Latin hell, they came out to the ring. He continued to drone on in Spanglish, being booed all the while, until finally James Storm took the mic and told him to "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHUT. UP.]]" The crowd couldn't have been happier. After a bit of would-be [[HypocriticalHumor racist hypocritical humor]] about Mexican America cutting grass ("would-be" because they really are that bad), Storm decided to "reintroduce" Beer Money by putting Roode over as a money-making take-no-nonsense ass-kicker and listing every country American thing about himself in the long-winded catchphrase style made famous by Ric Flair and [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]]. He then promises to kick their ass not only for the fans in the Impact Zone and at home, but also the great luchadores (like [[WrestlingFamily the Guerreros]]) and all the other Hispanics effectively disgraced by Mexican America. After a bit of green card [[That70sShow Red Forman]] humor (again appropriate in this case because of the targets' character bents), Storm turns it over to Roode, who puts the cap on it with Storm's catchphrase before Beer Money's music comes back on. Mexican America was just effectively silenced in a promo AT LONG LAST.

* Taylor Wilde is full of this trope. At ''Victory Road 2008'', she gave the gargantuan Awesome Kong a freaking armdrag from the top rope, sending her across the ring. At ''Sacrifice 2009'', she gave [[Wrestling/DaffneyUnger Daffney]] a Death Valley Driver ''headfirst'' onto a trash can. And at ''Slammiversary 2009'', she dove at Daffney through a table, ''and'' threw Daffney onto a pile of thumbtacks!

* The Kurt Angle Retirement Series is this. In particular, his two matches with Wrestling/Drew Galloway The first one is a great stand out and even was the main event. There second match, while not as grand, was just as wonderful. Not only did these matches show that the aging Angle still had some gas in the tank, but cemented Galloway as a future main eventer.

* Against All Odds 2010 was D'Angelo Dinero's CMOA (Sadly among his few in the company) when he competed in the Eight Card Stud Tournament to become the number one contender to the TNA World Championship. Through the evening, Dinero had three excellent matches against Desmond Wolfe, Matt Morgan and Mr. Anderson (ANDERSON!) with him putting on a great performance in each match that culminated in Pope winning the tournament after overcoming a beating from the Band and Anderson himself. A great night for the Pope in general.

* Dec 9, 2010. Wrestling/VelvetSky TookALevelInBadass. Before their tag team match, Sarita gave her a HannibalLecture on how Velvet is dependent on her partner Wrestling/AngelinaLove to win anything, until Velvet [[ShutUpHannibal spears her]] so fast that it's like she did a ''FlashStep'', then mercilessly beats her down. However, because Angelina got the pinfall, Sarita gloated that she proved her point.

* On February 3rd 2011, after Wrestling/KevinNash and Wrestling/BookerT jumped ship to WWE (and thus thwarted [=TNA's=] attempt to reunite the Main Event Mafia), TNA pulls an AuthorsSavingThrow and ''finally'' give the fans what they've been asking for since Immortal's first night of existence, that actually made a ''lot'' more sense than their original plan would've. Wrestling/JeffHardy is in a rematch for the TNA World Championship with new champ Mr. Anderson, and the ref gets knocked out; Jeff uses the opportunity to call down Immortal and have them whale on Anderson. Per usual, Wrestling/AJStyles and the rest of Fortune came out to assist in the beating - but just before AJ lays a hand on Anderson, he pulls his punch and throws up the Fortune handsign. With that signal, Beer Money and Kazarian turn the tables on Immortal and eject them from the ring, then Robert Roode clotheslines Hardy and AJ nails the Styles Clash, effectively turning Fortune face and costing Hardy the match. AJ then spent the next segment putting his Wrestling/RicFlair-taught mic skills to work, firing up the crowd in a pretty decent Flairesque promo. The best part is that Ric was gone that night, leaving AJ to sell the angle almost entirely on his own - which he did like a champ.

* It happened! In the August 7th, 2014 Impact Wrestling tapings, behold how Bully Ray put Dixie Carter through the table with her name in it after months of failed attempts. What makes even more amazing is that the entire TNA Roster (mainly {{Faces}}), appeared in order to avoid Dixie's escape attempt. The moment was so memorable (and treated as such by TNA) that within two days, typing "dixie carter" into the YouTube search bar will result in three of the ten top related keywords being some variation of "dixie carter/table".

* ''Earl Hebner'' got one during a match involving The Beautiful People when he proved he was NotDistractedByTheSexy, but was ''smart enough'' to make out with Lacey Von Erich ''anyway'' before ejecting her from ringside.

* Dec 9, 2010. Velvet Sky TookALevelInBadass. Before their tag team match, Sarita gave her a HannibalLecture on how Velvet is dependent on her partner Angelina Love to win anything, until Velvet [[ShutUpHannibal spears her]] so fast that it's like she did a ''FlashStep'', then mercilessly beats her down. However, because Angelina got the pinfall, Sarita gloated that she proved her point.

* Mickie James got one on the April 14th episode. While Madison Rayne was arguing with her [[TheDragon Dragon]], Mickie, despite having been run over by a motorcycle and having her shoulder dislocated, comes out and delivers a very convincing WorldOfCardboardSpeech, swearing to tear every hair out of Rayne's head and beat her within an inch of her life. The real Crowning Moment Of Awesome here comes from her delivery of the speech, which made her seem to be an absolute {{Badass}} despite having her arm in a sling.

* KurtAngle's debut video. Not so much because of its content, but because in an era where every little thing gets leaked online and five or six journalists (including Dave Meltzer) are dedicated to being backstage reporters on the business, ''everyone'' was caught off-guard by it...including just about ''the entire TNA locker room.''

* ''Lockdown 2010'' got TNA an early contender for Match of the Year with the "escape-only" Steel Cage Match between KurtAngle and Mr. Anderson. It's considered to be Anderson's best match to date, and one of Kurt's finest performances (in a career filled to the brim with outstanding performances).

*** As for Bully Ray being taken care of? He tried to interfere in the Sting-Anderson title match after a ref bump, only to find himself cleared from the scene by lighting games and a ''fifth'' evil clown, which allowed Sting to get the clean win on Ken to take the title. That fifth clown? ''Number one contender KurtAngle''. Who, let's remember, was [[ContinuityNod the main guy that kept Bischoff off of Fortune's trail when they originally turned on Immortal]] [[RealLifeWritesThePlot by making the entire "]][[IronicEcho anti!Them]][[RealLifeWritesThePlot " operation look like a Main Event Mafia revival]]. Between this, the parking lot comment, the clown suit worn by Angle, and the fact that there were lighting games and a fifth clown suit in the first place, it's heavily implied Fortune got Kurt in on the big plan and/or Sting anticipated his and Bully Ray's run-ins and timed it perfectly. At the same time, he doesn't look like a hypocrite for saying earlier that night that he was interested in facing and beating either Sting or Anderson, primarily because ''he never touched Anderson''.

** Wrestling/BobbyRoode pulling the ''SummerSlam [[FleetingDemographicRule '97]]'' Wrestling/BretHart BatmanGambit on Sting and Jeff Hardy to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, except more obviously on purpose.

** The Fortune vs. Immortal match at ''Lethal Lockdown'' had it's fair share, including Daniels hitting a crossbody from the top of the cage to MattHardy and Abyss. However, the crowner has to be AJ Styles returning to help Fortune pull out the win and taking a measure of revenge on Bully Ray for taking him out. Bully Ray reacting like he just saw a ghost is the best part.

* TNA starts this 2015 in Destination America with a massive battle royale with the entire roster, followed by Wrestling/KurtAngle's return to action against Wrestling/{{MVP}}. It also featured [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Awesome Kong]]'s return to the promotion, staring Havok after the Knockouts Match, concluding with not one, neither two... three {{Face Heel Turn}}s of Wrestling/SamoaJoe, Wrestling/LowKi and Eric Young. Biggest Crowning Moment of Awesome ever!

** Categorically worse. The event would be widely panned as an effortless bust, even by paying customers who've been praising the TNA television product for the past few months. The potential awesome was wasted.
* Eric Young's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtYO684sZc4 theme]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] deserves a mention. One YouTuber even commented on it saying that it's hard NOT to bang your head to it

* A moment that is often overlooked, and if it hadn't happened may have resulted in TNA never existing, was at the very first show on June 19 2002. During a dark match before the first show, Cheex, a 400-plus pound wrestler, hit the ropes and broke them and part of the ring. Dread goes through all the backstage and onscreen because if part of the Ring was broken then they'd have to limit the action or possibly cancel the show, especially since they were doing double tapings and the X Division guys would be showcased in it and they needed the ropes. Many, including Don West, were said to have been praying for a miracle to happen or packing up their things and getting ready to leave. The Ring Crew heads out to the ring and goes to work on it, and to stall for time, they rearrange the card and have a Legends Ceremony featuring Ricky Steamboat and others first. This manages to give the crew enough time to repair the ring just as they announce the opening contest. Thanks to them, TNA managed to survive and continue on to this day.

* Destination X 2011: ''All of it.'' From [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick Brian Kendrick]] ''finally'' winning the X-Division title from Abyss, to Alex Shelly winning the Ultimate X match (doubles as a [[SugarWiki/ since he specifically stated he was fighting for his injured tag partner, Chris Sabin, in that match), to Austin Aries beating Low Ki, Zema Ion, and [[SpotMonkey Jack Evans]] and returning to the X-Division, to the intense RVD/Jerry Lynn match, and, of course, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels putting on a near-30 minute clinic to close out the show.

* The announcement that '''BOUND FOR GLORY 2014 will be taking place in Tokyo, Japan''' is this as a validation of TNA's international fanbase. Subverted when the PPV card would reveal that this meant BFG'14 would be less the flagship event for TNA's ongoing storylines and more a special showcase for TNA Wrestling in Japan in conjunction with WRESTLE-1 ala the latter's ''Kaisen: Outbreak'' show earlier in the year.

* The announcement that '''BOUND FOR GLORY 2014 will be taking place in Tokyo, Japan''' is this as a validation of TNA's international fanbase.

* [[Wrestling/{{Rhyno}} Rhino]] had a [=CMoA=] at the inaugural ''Bound for Glory'' pay-per-view in 2005. Originally, he was only booked in the Monster's Ball no-disqualification match against JeffHardy, Sabu, and Abyss. Problem was, KevinNash had complained of chest pains the night before, taking him out of the main event. It was decided at the last minute that Rhino would step up as the number one contender for JeffJarrett's NWA heavyweight title. Not only did Rhino win the Monster's Ball match, he also won a ten-man gauntlet to determine Jarrett's challenger, then defeated Jarrett himself immediately after to win the title and close the show.
** ''Bound for Glory'' was seen, in itself, as a [=CMoA=] for the entire company, as TNA weathered the loss of KevinNash from the main event quite well, and produced its most ambitiously booked (up to that point) and arguably ''best'' show to date. From top to bottom, the entire roster stepped up and delivered several [=CMoAs=]. For example:

* ''No Surrender 2006'' AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels take on the Latin American Xchange of Homicide and Hernandez looking to regain the NWA Tag Titles in the first ever Tag Team Ultimate X Match. Working together and combining their moves they take out [[TheBrute Hernandez]] with a Frog Splash Best Moonsault Ever and Spiral Tap combo. Daniels goes to get the belts but Konnan LAX's manager gets involved threatening him with a Kendo Stick should he attempt to cross the wires so what does The Fallen Angel do? He climbs to the top of the structure and leaps across and lands on the X in the center of it and unhooks the belt winning the match and the titles. This was voted as TNA's 2006 Match Of The Year.

** Even better: Bubba's last real appearance on TNA ended with MickFoley ''punching Bubba in the face.''

* If anyone ever needs proof that tag team wrestling is capable of putting on certifiable Match of the Year-worthy contests, they should look no further than the Best of 5 series between the Motor City Machineguns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) and Beer Money (Robert Roode and James Storm) for the TNA World Tag Team Championship:

* On February 3rd 2011, after KevinNash and BookerT jumped ship to WWE (and thus thwarted [=TNA's=] attempt to reunite the Main Event Mafia), TNA pulls an AuthorsSavingThrow and ''finally'' give the fans what they've been asking for since Immortal's first night of existence, that actually made a ''lot'' more sense than their original plan would've. JeffHardy is in a rematch for the TNA World Championship with new champ Mr. Anderson, and the ref gets knocked out; Jeff uses the opportunity to call down Immortal and have them whale on Anderson. Per usual, Wrestling/AJStyles and the rest of Fortune came out to assist in the beating - but just before AJ lays a hand on Anderson, he pulls his punch and throws up the Fortune handsign. With that signal, Beer Money and Kazarian turn the tables on Immortal and eject them from the ring, then Robert Roode clotheslines Hardy and AJ nails the Styles Clash, effectively turning Fortune face and costing Hardy the match. AJ then spent the next segment putting his RicFlair-taught mic skills to work, firing up the crowd in a pretty decent Flairesque promo. The best part is that Ric was gone that night, leaving AJ to sell the angle almost entirely on his own - which he did like a champ.

** The following week, it got even better. When Immortal came out to address the fans, JeffJarrett demanded Fortune to come out. Once they did, Jarrett proceeded to browbeat them about being "ungrateful nobodies", since he gave them the opportunity they needed by signing them to TNA. Beer Money's Robert Roode (someone not really known for his mic skills) snatched the mic after a minute of this and flat-out told Jarrett to [[ShutUpHannibal shut up and cut the horseshit]]. Roode then launched into an epic speech of his own, reminding everyone in Immortal that Fortune is the backbone that built TNA, yet all four of them kept on getting overlooked by the next "savior" to be brought in every few months by TNA management. This time around, they weren't about to stand by and watch their opportunity to build TNA up into something better pass them by. Essentially, the same character purpose that led Fortune to come together as heels (and administer bloody assaults to [=EV2.0=]) was carried over perfectly into the group's face turn against Immortal. Better yet, not one fan didn't go with it.

** The following week on July 28, Beer Money finally shut up [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Mexican]] [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste America]]. After [[TheScrappy Anarquia]] called out Beer Money in his usual grating voice from Latin hell, they came out to the ring. He continued to drone on in Spanglish, being booed all the while, until finally James Storm took the mic and told him to "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHUT. UP.]]" The crowd couldn't have been happier. After a bit of would-be [[HypocriticalHumor racist hypocritical humor]] about Mexican America cutting grass ("would-be" because they really are that bad), Storm decided to "reintroduce" Beer Money by putting Roode over as a money-making take-no-nonsense ass-kicker and listing every country American thing about himself in the long-winded catchphrase style made famous by RicFlair and [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]]. He then promises to kick their ass not only for the fans in the Impact Zone and at home, but also the great luchadores (like [[WrestlingFamily the Guerreros]]) and all the other Hispanics effectively disgraced by Mexican America. After a bit of green card [[That70sShow Red Forman]] humor (again appropriate in this case because of the targets' character bents), Storm turns it over to Roode, who puts the cap on it with Storm's catchphrase before Beer Money's music comes back on. Mexican America was just effectively silenced in a promo AT LONG LAST.

* Mr. Anderson gets one on the April 7th edition of ''Impact!''. He apparently makes a DealWithTheDevil with HulkHogan to be made special ref of a match between Sting and RVD. After using his position to take revenge on them both, he seemingly joins Immortal, getting paraded around by two of their members and getting boos from the crowd...then smashes one of them in the ribs with a steel pipe and gives them both a Mic Check and rubs it in Hogan's face that he played him like a fiddle. Though then again, what do you expect from making a deal with a self proclaimed [[{{CatchPhrase}} Asshole]]?

* The Network Executive that's been making Immortal's life miserable was finally revealed on May 12. Who was it? MickFoley! And he came out to put Immortal in their place and reveal he'd been the one screwing over Immortal this whole time. He also changes the show's name from ''TNA Impact'' to ''Impact Wrestling'', with the new catch slogan of "Wrestling matters again" specifically targeting Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s insistent de-emphasis on wrestling as well as Immortal's politics in TNA. But, the icing on the cake, he introduces KurtAngle's "mistress", who Angle had been saying for weeks ago would be taking Karen out. Who is it? '''''Chyna'''''. [[OhCrap The reaction of Immortal]] was absolutely ''priceless!''
** Sacrifice 2011 clinched it when Angle and {{Chyna}} put Jeff and Karen Jarrett in the ankle lock at the same time and they both tap out.
** Foley continues to prove himself a perfect ChessMaster on the May 26th edition. Hogan leaves the meeting with the Network, thinking he'd won and gotten full control of TNA while Eric thinks he's destroyed the X Division. Then, on the actual episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', Foley interupts them by coming out and revealing that was exactly what he wanted Hogan to think. After Hogan left, Foley changed the Network's minds completely and regained their favor, allowing him to revive the X Division and get the Network furious at Immortal at the same time.

* June 16, 2011: The return of Jimmy Rave, Kid Kash, and Wrestling/AustinAries. Sting assaulting Wrestling/HulkHogan in his office. Gunner pinning Mr. Anderson cleanly. KurtAngle announcing that he will compete in the Olympics again at age 43 and beating JeffJarrett in a Parking Lot Brawl to force him to move to Mexico.
* Destination X 2011: ''All of it.'' From Brian Kendrick ''finally'' winning the X-Division title from Abyss, to Alex Shelly winning the Ultimate X match (doubles as a [[SugarWiki/ since he specifically stated he was fighting for his injured tag partner, Chris Sabin, in that match), to Austin Aries beating Low Ki, Zema Ion, and [[SpotMonkey Jack Evans]] and returning to the X-Division, to the intense RVD/Jerry Lynn match, and, of course, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels putting on a near-30 minute clinic to close out the show.

* ''October 6, 2011'': Sting's DangerouslyGenreSavvy quest to get HulkHogan to face him at ''Bound for Glory'' and/or turn the company back over to Dixie Carter has produced several terrific moments, but none quite as gratifying as the night he finally got it done. Hogan, a week ago, had announced his "[[TenMinuteRetirement retirement]]", and on this night was making his formal "final address", giving personal tribute to Hulkamania and to the fans "on the way out". Sting never bought it for a second; he'd [[FridgeBrilliance seen this]] [[FingerPokeOfDoom play out before]]. So instead of leaving it be, he came out in a red suit and Hulkamania shirt to call question to the whole thing and then to [[EngineeredPublicConfession expose it as a lie through video footage of Hulk and Eric laughing about their elaborate hoax]]. Hogan finally [[VillainousBreakdown had his meltdown]] and got so pissed off he agreed to everything Sting had been asking for this whole time on the double. The OpenMouthInsertFoot look on Hollywood's face...the crowd rejoicing at the fact that Hulk's reign is finally ''really'' about to come to an end after he tried to play them for fools...Sting ''laughing at Hogan'' as he walked up the ramp with his music on to end the show. All freakin' '''priceless'''.

** Bobby Roode pulling the ''SummerSlam [[FleetingDemographicRule '97]]'' Wrestling/BretHart BatmanGambit on Sting and Jeff Hardy to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, except more obviously on purpose.

* Leading up to ''Destination X'' 2012, Austin Aries was granted a shot at Bobby Roode for the event by Wrestling/HulkHogan, on the condition that he forfeit the X Division title prior to the event. Aries agreed on the condition that every year the X-Division Champion heading into ''Destination X'' would get the same opportunity, and would hold his own in altercations with Roode heading into the event without the typical help from Hogan or Wrestling/{{Sting}} that made Roode the [[TheChessmaster cunning bastard]] [[StrawmanHasAPoint with a point]] against most of his challengers. At ''Destination X'', with the crowd solidly behind Aries, they both put on an absolute classic, with Aries, a guy who six months ago would've tried to out-cheat Roode and lose, managing to not only survive all of Roode's attempts to cheat his way to a victory (including [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat kicking out of a shot to the head with the title belt]]), but to reverse Roode's finisher into the Brain Buster for the clean victory, ending Roode's tenure as the longest reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion in the company's history. [[AwesomeMomentOfCrowning The crowd goes utterly ballistic, and Aries is crowned world heavyweight champion amidst the roars of the crowd and a sea of confetti.]] Considering the initial fears of many fans that Aries would be misused upon signing with TNA, only to culminate in a dominant reign as X Division champion and finally being pushed as the company's top star, it only makes it all the sweeter.

* At ''Bound For Glory 2012'' James Storm and Bobby Roode faced off against each other in a street fight with MMA fighter King Mo as special enforcer. With nearly a year's worth of heat built between them, the two didn't disappoint as they did everything possible to one another. Both men had [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake donned the proverbial crimson mask]] by the end of it, and when it was all said and done, after a year's worth of ups and downs, thinking he may not have it in him, and questioning himself, Storm finally gets revenge on his former best friend, the man who stabbed him in the back and cost him the world title, by giving him the [[FinishingMove Last Call]] superkick and knocking Roode out to win the match.

* Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell's ladder match at the July 11th show, highlights included a Gail applying a Figure Four leglock across the ladder and Taryn applying a Dragon Sleeper on the top of the Ladder! It ends with Gail tying Taryn's hair to the ring rope to stop her long enough to grab the contract.

* A moment that is often overlooked, and if it hadn't happened may have resulted in TNA never existing, was at the very first show on June 19 2002. During a dark match before the first show, Cheex, a 400 pound plus black man, hit the ropes and broke them and part of the ring. Dread goes through all the backstage and onscreen because if part of the Ring was broken then they'd have to limit the action or possibly cancel the show, especially since they were doing double tapings and the X Division guys would be showcased in it and they needed the ropes. Many, including Don West, were said to have been praying for a miracle to happen or packing up their things and getting ready to leave. The Ring Crew heads out to the ring and goes to work on it, and to stall for time, they rearrange the card and have a Legends Ceremony featuring Ricky Steamboat and others first. This manages to give the crew enough time to repair the ring just as they announce the opening contest. Thanks to them, TNA managed to survive and continue on to this day.

* It happened! In the August 7th, 2014 Impact Wrestling tapings, behold how Bully Ray put Dixie Carter through the table with her name in it after months of failed attempts. What makes even more amazing is that the entire TNA Roster (mainly {{Faces}}), appeared in order to avoid Dixie's escape attempt.
