@@michaelpachuau3885 So I'm absolutely sure that he didn't want the Queen banned from ringside because her support was always amazing, the Melanin Beauty was always clever with her interferences for Booker and him and he liked her, so he was definitely shocked when Sting said it...
All of OG members of Main Event Mafia are now WWE Hall of Famers: Kurt Angle (2017) Sting (2016) Kevin Nash (2015 and 2020) Scott Steiner (2022) Booker T (2013 and 2019) Sharmell (2022)
Back then, up until Ms. Dixie Carter decided to mess with A. J. Styles, things were really starting to look up, and TNA was gaining some traction... But, after that-When A. J. Styles left TNA, the TV Ratings began to drop off, rather quickly.
I don't think you get it. The Main Event Mafia wasn't supposed to be a face unit. They were supposed to be a Heel Unit. Sting was a Face Wrestler, for most of his career, but the other members of the Main Event Mafia were basically Heels, except for maybe Kevin Nash. That's why they eventually got rid of Sting. He ended up getting on their nerves so badly, that no one wanted him around anymore!
Sting is one of the greatest ever but not the greatest. Is Sting better than Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker???
Better than The Rock and Shawn Michaels for sure, the rest.... he is certainly a better *wrestler* than Hogan and Flair, but you know, gimmicks.... wrestling abilities are not what makes you a good wrestler.
The original Main-Event Mafia should come back and feud with Aces And 8's.; Kurt Angle, Sting, Samoa Joe, Booker T., Kevin Nash & Scott Steiner VS. Tazz, The Dudley Boyz, Ken Kennedy, Mike Knox & D.O.C.! Aces And 8's VS. The Main-Event Mafia = Pro wrestling dream-match!
I wonder what it would've been like to have seen The Aces & 8's take on the original incarnation of The Main-Event Mafia back in 2013 instead of The New Main-Event Mafia.
Wow the mafias back on the right track now Sting did a good job get rid of all distractions and make up for selfish decisions And in the immortal words of Scott Steiner 'I would only be afraid of Joe if i was dressed up like a hamburger'
Look at his face now and before this, his chin and face weren't this defined. He was taking steroids here buddy, and im sorry to put it like this but the guy ain't gonna make it to 65. He took so many pills and pain killers and steroids instead of letting his body rest we know how that ends up killing the person. To the point to where he took more than a 100 pills before matches. Hopefully I'm wrong but the way i see it is that his heart gonna kick in sooner or later. Eddie guerrero had substance abuse and before he died he was pumping steroids, and we know what happened
I remember this & I prefer this main event mafia over todays but they still good none the less, but I digress. 2009 was a great year in tna history. I started watching it in 2008 but I liked 2009 a lot more
4:21-4:25.; Did Don West really make mention of "President" Obama???... I remember watching this episode of 'TNA Impact' from beginning to end as if it was literally yesterday & I still can't believe it.
you know who i think is samoa joe's advisor. junior fatu (formerly known as Rikishi) think about these 3 things: 1-He's Samoan 2-He has teamedwith Joe in the past. 3-I can see him in tribal facepaint like Joe. just a thought
man, bring The Giant(Big Show), Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho to TNA and if Buff Daddy, Lex Luger and Bill Goldberg would return it would be like wcw all over again
what impress me was the most was that we saw the old dogs only in one segment and that was the end of it. No Kurt/Nash/Booker T (Who I still respect) in the main event and let AJ and Daniels be the main event. Great job TNA. Like the new direction
So this is the promo that announced Jenna vs Sharmell, which ended up being the worst wrestling match ever, and Samoa Joe started giving clues about what ended up being Tazz coming to TNA.
Robert Ridley The thing that sucks more is that they had fired Petey Williams, saying that they were 'short on money', but then managed to bring in those two no-talent hacks.
"Women are banned from the Mafia" SCOTT REACTION WAS HILARIOUS 😂
Scarface vader hahaha yeah scott steiner sure loves em women haha
@@serbonkers4130 i think his reaction was more an enthusiastic 'get outta here' 😁😁
@@michaelpachuau3885 : Definitely not Scott likes Sharmell!
@@JohnHartson20 and that affects what I said how? 😅

Kurts reactions and expressions looked like a kid that was getting scolded by his teacher lmao
Carlos Valdez lmaoo
He was
I mean he really was getting schooled.
Cuz he was a spoiled coward haha
Lmfao

Kurt Angle (2017)

Kevin Nash (2015 and 2020)
Scott Steiner (2022)
Booker T (2013 and 2019)

During that time I was watching TNA Impact every single week without missing a episode.
Same
Back then, up until Ms. Dixie Carter decided to mess with A. J. Styles, things were really starting to look up, and TNA was gaining some traction...
But, after that-When A. J. Styles left TNA, the TV Ratings began to drop off, rather quickly.
I love the way Sting yells "THEREFORE!!"
Sting is cleaning up the mess that Kurt Angle created in the Main Event Mafia. Best for business.
It was meant to be!!!
Wow Sting is awesome here as the patriarch.
balancer182 You can say that again. He should’ve been the leader when the Main Event Mafia since the start
Nice suit
“THEREFORE !!!!!” My new line gotta love stinger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is when TNA was really good
Kurt's reaction to his security getting fired was like a teenager getting grounded by their parents when they had weekend plans
Imagine if his gold medals got taken away. He’d cry harder than when he won them
Sting was the man!!
When he said women are banned I could here Book "Hey brother let's talk about this" 🤣😂🤣
Back when TNA was great
Scott was the only one who approved of all of Sting’s decisions 😂😂😂😂
Man I hate they kicked Sting out. He actually had sense lol
The two were buds all the way back In NWA/WCW

Sting looks good dressed up and no paint.
Sting has officially impressed me. I hope this Joe thing goes somewhere.
I was waiting for Sting to start flowing..."there is indeed, the need, to succeed, well that's what we all agreed"
Sting brings more order to the Main Event Mafia than Kurt Angle
TNA has never gotten the credit it deserved.
Young 4Ever true
Cuz it will never reach the level of WWE
@@PrinceKassad95 that's cuz wrestling is dyi g and it was at it's height when wwe was still good
PrinceKassad95 it doesn’t need to. That’s why it failed after 2012
Because the product got bad
Sting is the icon, the legend... Sting Rules 4ever!!!
Sting is the greatest wrestler of all time
Sting is one of the greatest ever but not the greatest. Is Sting better than Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker???
Better than The Rock and Shawn Michaels for sure, the rest.... he is certainly a better *wrestler* than Hogan and Flair, but you know, gimmicks.... wrestling abilities are not what makes you a good wrestler.
Chris Dancy According to vince3h/Dunn, Roman Reigns is the Wrestler of all time ... what a Bunch of IMBECILES!
Chris Dancy THE ROCK HANDS DOWN
Derek Mitchell Yes Sting is better than every one you listed, he was awesome in every promotion he has been in
back when impact was gold
I just noticed sting was never on joes hit list it was just nash booker scott and kurt
Sting was never part of the attack on Joe when they injured him.
Sting is probably the only wrestler who can do a heel promo and still speak nothing but truth. He gets cheered whether as heel or face.
I think Sting was a face in the stable while the rest were heels. It creates an interesting dynamic.
Sting is neither a face nor a heel. He is the BACKBONE 🔥🚬
The original Main-Event Mafia should come back and feud with Aces And 8's.; Kurt Angle, Sting, Samoa Joe, Booker T., Kevin Nash & Scott Steiner VS. Tazz, The Dudley Boyz, Ken Kennedy, Mike Knox & D.O.C.!
Aces And 8's VS. The Main-Event Mafia = Pro wrestling dream-match!
I guess Scott was the only one to keep his eye on the price and to do his job in the mafia
BUNCH OF FATASSES!
He and Sting go way back, so it makes sense
miss the old TNA Impact
Hell yeah I miss it
Me too
It’s back.
Stings awesome God bless him and his family.
I wonder what it would've been like to have seen The Aces & 8's take on the original incarnation of The Main-Event Mafia back in 2013 instead of The New Main-Event Mafia.
tthomaselli2 They did, back when Magnus and Lashley were part of the MEM.
He is referring to the original five:kurt, scott, booker, kevin and sting
Sting, Kurt, kevin nash, booker t and scott steiner vs team 3d, mr anderson, wes and garrett, that'd be cool
@@freddykrueger4441 I would probably put Doc in Wes place.
@@JCool123 Yh true
Sting is awesome on the mic.
Wow the mafias back on the right track now
Sting did a good job get rid of all distractions and make up for selfish decisions
And in the immortal words of Scott Steiner
'I would only be afraid of Joe if i was dressed up like a hamburger'
Kevin, after sting singled him, was like yeah my bad.
Sting was acting like he is king
i mean he was the most experienced
Amaru I guess.
@@extremeking425 booker is most experienced
WELCH sting has been wrestling since 1985 booker debuted in 1989
He is king
The MEM was awesome.
Sting was awesome!
And I had forgotten how good Sting was at cutting promos. :)
Kurt angle zoned out thinkin bout Takin another Percocet when he gets backstage 🥴
The stinger at the helm yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah \m/ Sting is gonna make the Main Event Mafia a lot more Main Event \m/
kurt is jealous of sting. cuz sting has hair.
Ha Ha Ha Ha you're probably right
Andrew Smith
Lmao
no sting is better
@Jane Terri ikr Angle is arguably a top 10 wrestler of all time sting isn't even top 15
Sting The Best in The World wrestler.
Undertaker.
wow sting is awesome on the mic and hes an awesome wrestler
All former WWE Superstars, in TNA at that point. WOAH!
Kurt’s face this whole time funny
ric far sting kevin nash kurt angle bookert tna impact
This is just like when your at the table and your dad stats sending indirect messages to you
love sting
blush
I respect Sting
Kurt Angle went and stayed in TNA
Booker T was in TNA?? ....the more you know I guess
Blue Justice z
Yeah for like 2 or 3 years
Spartic huh
Its basically where he was between 2006 and 2011.
And was legends champ
What word are we using loosely “plump” or “security guard”?
Scott, kurt and sting lookins so sharp...
I find it so funny that beside Scott you can make the main event mafia in wwe 2k 18-20 man times change
Funny how Steiner is fully supportive of Sting firing the women lol
Steiner ...He is gay
Sting looks like one of the members of kiss
the crow*
My God Sting is the man.
Say what you want about TNA from 2009-2013, at least it's not WWE: TV-PG.
I’ll go back further 2005-2012 for me
2005-2009 was their best in my opinion
Scott like I'm home free🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sting the legend, the icon 👏👏👏🐐🦂 Really enjoyed his time in TNA, Joker Sting was a highlight, thanks for the nostalgia ❤😊🫡
kurt looking kinda healthy here... nowadays he looks reddish and kinda swollen up(if that's how you put it... )
+sKiNo that's an indication of heart trouble(let's hope not)
Chris Booker damn.. hope not.. but he's a workhorse.. i hope he doesn't overwork after his recent "retirement"...
This looked like the point in time he was doing drugs out the ass. He just looked different.
Look at his face now and before this, his chin and face weren't this defined. He was taking steroids here buddy, and im sorry to put it like this but the guy ain't gonna make it to 65. He took so many pills and pain killers and steroids instead of letting his body rest we know how that ends up killing the person. To the point to where he took more than a 100 pills before matches.

Sting and mafia
Sting and Nash..they are amazing .so.....handsome
Kurt was acting like an 8 year old getting yelled at by his Mom lmao
Sting Kurt angle beef was like hulk hogan n macho man beef when they was in the nwo lol 😂 😎
I remember this & I prefer this main event mafia over todays but they still good none the less, but I digress. 2009 was a great year in tna history. I started watching it in 2008 but I liked 2009 a lot more
M.E.M are 1 of my favourite wrestling factions ever
I was watching til Samoa Joe started talking
i love how calmly mike tenay reacts to joe issuing a death threat to kurt.
He gets cheers so much that I wouldn't even know whether he was a heel or not.
Does anyone remember which TNA p.p.v this segment come on after? I'm trying to add to my TNA DVD collection.
Who I think would be in the New MEM: Samoa Joe, Magnus, Kurt Angle, Austin Aries, maybe Roode, and definitely Jeff Hardy.
Sandman doesn't quote, he just does it, which makes him better.
If Samoa Joe Said That To Me, I'd Hide In A Bank Vault.
Samoa Joe in the new MEM..It's pretty much a wrap for Aces N Eights
Kurt is flat out blistered!!🤣
4:21-4:25.; Did Don West really make mention of "President" Obama???... I remember watching this episode of 'TNA Impact' from beginning to end as if it was literally yesterday & I still can't believe it.
was there any conclusion to that nation thing?
LOL AT THE FACE OF ANGLE AT THE END
Sting was like ric flair n hulk hogan when the four horsemen n nwo was out back in the day lol 😂 😎
MEM is the shit. Hands down.
Nash with that smug look.. Saoma had a good pop in that but Sting had everyone in check
Finally Sting is in his right place....The leader of the MEM....
Would luv to see the formation of the Main Event Mafia in wwe sting angle aj roode Joe and young
Sting looks great. In a suit. WOW
The Human Suplex Machine--Taz. Raven, Shane Douglas, Taz! Will we see the Sandman, Sabu, and Rob Van Dam soon?
Sting, TNA and the main event mafia ROCKS!!!!
Sting did start until he 38 quote me on that best king icon ever he wrote the book my huggybear ❤❤❤❤❤
you know who i think is samoa joe's advisor.
junior fatu (formerly known as Rikishi)
think about these 3 things:
1-He's Samoan
2-He has teamedwith Joe in the past.
3-I can see him in tribal facepaint like Joe.
just a thought
DAMN! Sting looks good in a suit (looks better in his wrestling gear though ;))
Kurt is high i know that feeling those eyes pills
man, bring The Giant(Big Show), Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho to TNA and if Buff Daddy, Lex Luger and Bill Goldberg would return it would be like wcw all over again
If this was the nWOs third guy, i believe it would have been successful. At the same level? Maybe..This version of Sting on the mic is 🔥🔥
Funny thing, since they only work for Kurt Angle, Sting technically can't fire the guards. XD
Pro Wrestling needs Main Event Stables with all Main Eventers in it.
Big poppa pump scott steiner needs to get on that mic
In his blog he did put in a little hint.
"I will be crossing the line soon"
Think about that!!
Kurt is a little baby during this!! Funny
what impress me was the most was that we saw the old dogs only in one segment and that was the end of it.
No Kurt/Nash/Booker T (Who I still respect) in the main event and let AJ and Daniels be the main event. Great job TNA. Like the new direction

then how would YOU use them if you don't mind me asking?
I'll respond to you awnser another time since I've got to go to work.
joes face is hilarious it looks like he got ran over!
Kevin nash and booker t in TNA ?
Nash was in TNA for like 7 years...
Can anybody tell me the names of tna Main Event Mafia private security bodyguards?
Would have loved to have seen Sting bring the Mafia with A.J JOE ROODE
