10 Forgotten Wrestling War Moments

8. TNA's foiled flight over WWE WrestleMania 24

Though they were, in reality, always a very distant second, TNA did give WWE reason to glance over their shoulders from time to time. 

Like in the run-up to WrestleMania 24 in 2008, when Dixie Carter’s company planned to fly a plane over the Citrus Bowl advertising IMPACT on Spike TV. 

TNA had done a lot of promotion while WWE were in town for ‘Mania, but their big banner idea wouldn’t get off the ground. Literally. 

The publicity stunt never ended up happening after WWE got wind of the idea and shut it down. 

They tracked down the company that was going to fly the plane and somehow convinced them not to take off. The plane people told TNA management they couldn’t perform due to ‘weather’, even though several other businesses flew banners overhead at the Showcase of the Immortals. 

TNA were, naturally, quite peeved by their plan being foiled. So at the arena for Raw the next night, they sent a truck with a large screen showing TNA clips. WWE duly had it kicked out of the car park.
