"Wildcat" Chris Harris' main event push in TNA. You could argue it ruined his career when they fucked it up horribly. The only thing of note he did after that was his feud with "Cowboy" James Storm (my favorite TNA match ever is their Texas Deathmatch at Sacrifice 07) but even that feud had the god awful blindfold cage match. Then, he infamously went to WWE for 2 weeks looking like he had eaten James Storm.

Jeff Jarrett as a major badass heel in WCW and TNA. Like Mike Graham said on a WWE DVD once, "He broke thousands of guitars but never drew a dime."

AJ Styles being yo-yo booked for his entire TNA run. He would be pushed to the moon as the embodiment of TNA and then he'd job out to a WWE run-off and be somebody's lackey only for him to break away and repeat the cycle over and over. AJ Styles being jobbed out and dropping the title to RVD on iMPACT and then becoming Ric Flair's bitch was the last straw for me with TNA. I haven't watched it regularly since.

I get a lot of flack by some for hating TNA, but I watched it regularly until 2010 when Hogan & Bischoff jobbed out AJ Styles to RVD and completely destroyed everything about TNA that was unique and enjoyable. I was hooked on TNA when they brought in DDP for a month back in March 2005 around when iMPACT debuted on Fox Sports Net. The storylines were usually decent and coherent, but they completely botched the main events. The matches and talent were good enough to put up with the eye-rolling you'd do when Jeff Jarrett won. Jeff Jarrett thought he was Triple H when he was really just Billy Gunn. When Hogan/Bischoff came in, they ruined all of the positives TNA had and made the negatives even worse. Pretty much everything during that era of TNA's main event was fucking brutal. Even after they left, you get stupid shit like them blatantly ripping off hot WWE acts by making Austin Aries (CM Punk Lite) and Eric Young (Daniel Bryan Lite) the World Champ. Let's not forget that completely random Chris Saban World Title reign.

I also feel that TNA ever pushing Jeff Hardy in the main event after his bullshit at Victory Road 2011 is overdone and irresponsible. He's a terrible person and an overrated wrestler who has proven repeatedly he can't be trusted in that position in a company without leadership.
