All Elite Wrestling was more forever ruined when Cody's action figure came with a sledge hammer.[[note]]A lot of people think AEW was ruined when he left, as he was the only one of the original founding members that had any kind of sense for the '''business''' side of the wrestling business, and outside of CM Punk ([[RoleEndingMisdemeanor who was later fired]] and like Cody is now a top guy in WWE) really the only person in the company period.[[/note]]
** Or AEW was RUINED FOREVER when they fired Wrestling/CMPunk in September 2023, and unlike most of these situations (where people complain but still watch) this actually has had a noticeable effect on attendance and TV ratings. Though this may be less about Punk himself[[note]]Though he '''is''' a proven ratings draw, for both AEW and for WWE since his return[[/note]] and more disgust over [=AEW's=] [[TroubledProduction unprofessionalism in handling the whole situation]] (which actually first got started at least as far back as Spring of the previous year), something that has [[RunningTheAsylum become a pattern]] for them.

* Wrestling/HulkHogan joining [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] has caused many [[SmartMark smarks]] to proclaim the company was RUINED FOREVER. The fact that he and Wrestling/EricBischoff were working for the same company has only made the doomsayers even more frantic, and add to that the announcement of a 2 hour special on Monday night, and removal (then quick reinstatement) of 4-sided rings instead of the TNA's usual 6, not only did you have fans of the company crying doom, you also have WWE fans saying this proves the end is near. Of course, the ratings freefall wasn't exactly making an argument against this. Hogan and Bischoff more or less bankrupted the company, with TNA so far in debt to Anthem Sports that Anthem ended up taking control of the company. Renamed Impact Wrestling, it now gets less than 10% of the viewers it got during the [=SpikeTV=] days on a cable network most people don't know exists.

* For many wrestling fans, the question isn't if Wrestling/VinceMcMahon ruined wrestling but how many times he's done it. He's been declared the Antichrist ever since he bought the World Wrestling Federation from his father, when Wrestling/BrunoSammartino and most of the old guard accused him of making a mockery of their sport with his theatrics. Everything [=McMahon=] did with the Wrestling/{{ECW}} {{revival}} beyond the original One Night Stand PPV was accused of ruining the memories of ECW forever.
* The Wrestling/{{n|ewWorldorder}}Wo [=WolfPac=] was ruined forever by the FingerPokeOfDoom.
* Wrestling/{{FMW}} was ruined forever when Kodo Fuyuki became head booker and decided to force what he called "sports entertainment" onto the product. FMW did end up losing half its audience and going inactive for fourteen years though.

Lawsuit and departure of Billy Corgan proved TNA could still be ruined forever, as did the dismantling of the Almighty Beatdown Clan due to Hernandez's contract with Wrestling/LuchaUnderground. The name official retirement of the name TNA in favor of simply calling the company Impact Wrestling ruined Impact Wrestling forever, until Impact Wrestling was then renamed Global Force Wrestling, which forever ruined GFW until it was then named back to Impact Wrestling, returning Impact's forever ruin. Impact Wrestling then ruined itself forever by having Wrestling/TessaBlanchard become number one contender to the World Championship by defeating Brian Cage and further ruined itself forever when Blanchard defeated reigning champion Wrestling/SamiCallihan on pay per view. Impact Wrestling forever ruin became even more forever when Blanchard was then stripped of the championship belt while quarantined in Mexico.
