10 Best TNA Wrestling Moments

9. Formation of the Main Event Mafia

There was often criticism levelled at IMPACT’S part-time crew of ageing headliners, with some fans believing that they greedily took the focus away from the ever-grafting ‘originals’ of the promotion.

While some of the criticism was perhaps warranted, there’s no denying that when one particular group of established legends banded together it was nothing but a good thing for the company. 

After a couple of months of storyline hints, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Sting and Booker T announced the formation of the Main Event Mafia on the October 23, 2008, episode of IMPACT in a very entertaining pre-taped backstage segment.

Noting that they were out to get respect from the younger members of the roster, the Mafia soon added Scott Steiner to their ranks. 

TNA’s own spin on factions such as the Four Horsemen and Evolution, the Main Event Mafia was the brainchild of Nash.

Running roughshod over the promotion while decked out in designer suits, the Main Event Mafia were quite easily the most dominant and impressive stable in TNA history, at one point holding all the gold the promotion had to offer before disbanding at the end of 2009.
