Arguably the best faction in TNA/impact history. The concept of getting established legendary guys like Angle, Book, Nash, Steiner and Sting at one point was a genius idea that should have lasted a couple years with the original core. When this was around it was some of the best TV that impact has done.
The MEM - The greatest wrestling stable in history. These guys revolutionized the wrestling industry, if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have guys like Cena or Roman Reigns. Greatest wrestling faction ever.
Whats crazy was at the time I didn’t even know he was in WWE until I saw the Money in The Bank match at Wrestlemania 25 and I legitimately thought that was his return because I wasn’t watching ECW or even kept up with it. Christian is truly one of those I thought WWE never really gave a shot a to. His best solo work there was IC title runs in like 03, 04 ish and his Randy Orton feud which is crazy to think with all the time he spent there. I don’t really say that about a whole lot of people but Christian is one I think was criminally under utilized in WWE
@@head_of_the_table_roman_re5333 yes he signed back to WWE after his contract expired. Because he felt ready to full schedule again, to succeed in WWE. And he needed more money because he had a big house to pay etc
Are you thick Christian became the face of SD and ecw got two world title. He achieved everything he wanted and more had an all time feud with randy. He cemented himself as a goat he would not have been in the minor leagues . Christian said himself he was always going back to the big leagues.
The ORIGINAL Mainevent Mafia is the only Faction in Prowrestling where every member is already a former or current world CHAMPION at that time Kurt Angle 14 time World Champion 10 in WWE 4 times in TNA Kevin Nash 3 times in WCW 2times in WWE Booker T 5times in WCW Sting 12 times in WCW 3 times in TNA & SCott Steiner 1 time in WCW
Funny how the guy who got ejected is still active in wrestling while the others are just doing backroom stuff for the company they are cussing in the video. Anyways, fast forward this segment and the next one we got was ECW….. It’s.. It’s Christian.
Well that's why he got to go win tittles in the big leagues and he was able to take the bumps they gave him. Could you imagine Steiner taking those bumps?
@@alphanerd7221 Those wrestlers I mentioned drew the most buys, ratings, and brought the most attention to product. No one except the Impact Diehards cared about the x-Division.
@bradley5431 They could have done him better, but they didn't do him *that* badly. I mean, he literally made main event status in TNA. Something he never did in WWE or anywhere else.
@@aggressiveattitudeera887he never did he was a top star in WWE who before retiring had a world title match and then feuding with another top star. He is an all time great because of WWE. He is in the top ten list for most championship wins,he literally won 4 of his 7 world title in WWE
Me too. Like it was yesterday. I didn’t use internet that much back in the day so I was excited when I heard Christian was going back to the WWE but then we got….. It’s its Christian…
Just 14 months later and Kurt Angle was the only man in this segment still in TNA. True, in January of 2010, TNA did resign Scott Steiner with an intent of bringing MEM back to fight Immortal and Fortune. But, the departures of Booker T and Kevin Nash for WWE in January 2011, forced them to change their plans. This was what in end led to Fortune turning on Immortal and becoming faces literally out of nowhere.
Vince should've pushed Christian to the top on multiple occasions. He just wanted to keep holding him down for some reason. Christian deserved to be at the top more often.
@@alaooooy7Christian got his moment be grateful, Christian got everything he wanted and more. You should be happy he has an all time great career look at what happened to people like Owen or Zack Ryder.
@@aliyahhussain4553 His talent deserved much more. He definitely deserved a few WWE title reigns and never even got one. Way lesser men got way more. Why would I be grateful to Vince for giving a man half of what he deserves? Stop being silly.
They were just jealous because Christian had a successful second run in WWE, just look at kurt pathetic second run. Most of these people are irrelevant now while Christian is still going strong proving why he is an all time great.
Actually Christian took Kurt Angle spot in WWE ECW the brand was originally gonna be built around Kurt Angle than he left so when Christian came in they put the title on him until the show was over
It’s funny they attacked Christian for going back to WWE when everyone in the Main Event Mafia would eventually return to WWE themselves.
And Both Kevin Nash and Booker T returned in the same match 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hypocrites 😂
Wrestlers love capping
In Sting's case, it was different, though. He didn't go to WWE until 2014.
not everyone in the faction went to WWE because Scott Steiner actually hates WWE and the top brass don't want anything to do with him
Need more Christian Cage content! His time in TNA was golden!
He was always better than edge
@@CmjunkiegotnoballsNah he was never better then Edge but he got to shine in TNA
@@joeyskywalker1322 yes he is better than Edge
@@joeyskywalker1322He's always better than Edge.
Edge is better than him only in character.
In terms of wrestling He's way better than Edge
@@CmjunkiegotnoballsI think right now, Christian is more over than Bryan and Cole.

Nobody messing with the MAIN event mafia.
Yeahhhhhh
@@terrellhubbardRESPECT!!!!!
@@terrellhubbard Yeah, because even though they are old and broken and half of them can't wrestle the script says you can't mess with them.
You wanna be a big fish? Well tonight you sleep with The fishes!!! Mafia style... 15 years and still remember that line.
Kurt really shines in this promo
You're tired of being the big fish*
RESPECCC impact wrestling!
Literally thought about you guys as soon as I saw this posted
Can of coke!!!
RESPECCC
On the mic and in the ring Christian is still one of the absolute best! Hope he wins the AEW title soon! He's one of the greatest heels ever!
Are you serious? He is already done especially after cm junk went too aew now Bryan is in the line Adam Cole is in the line and many others
@@Cmjunkiegotnoballsoh yes cm punk who was the last wrestler aew got a million viewers for.

N.W.O, DX, Evolution says hi
Then on his return to WWE via ECW:
"It's...... Christian"

Awesome beatdown! The early days of this storyline was awesome. I like how each wrestler of the Main Event Mafia hit there finishers on Cage.
Christian should have stayed with TNA at that time. The only mistake of his career.
Weird, that sting wasn't participating in this segment.
it is him leaving to WWE?

Tonight you sleep with fishes main event mafia style...the main event mafia was awesome
If Only Nash And Booker T Never went To WWE We Could Have Main Event Mafia Vs Immortal
Sharmell is a perfect one two punch to Booker T
Rip don west from late night baseball and coin shows to a wonderful announcer
I bet WWE and Impact Wrestling ain't even beefing no more.
This aged very well
Nash should’ve had that hair in his final WWE run. Silver Fox looked wicked!
If Christian Cage stayed in TNA,I would like to see Christian Cage vs Magnus (Brutus Magnus/Nick Aldis)
TNA showed this episode in India on the day he returned to wwe ecw back in 2009
The greatest duo in tna history main event mafia
This was the last episode of Impact that was aired on my local cable TV....
Please more matches and segments from Impact from 2004- now thank you

CHRISTIAN CAGE put TNA on the map
It was already in decline when he got there and he didn't save it.
Nope Sting, Kurt Angle, and Jeff Hardy put Impact on the map.
@@thesupervader400 The X division did that. Those other guys were pretty lame in TNA most of the time.

@@thesupervader400 That is total BS.
We need a main event mafia in AEW or TNA
And all the Main Event Mafia members got in the WWE Hall of Fame from 2013-2022, including Sharmell lol.
and The Queen deserved it sooo much.
Bro I miss these days.
if it wasn't for MEM i would have forgotten that Kevin Nash and booker t at one point worked in tna
Christian Cage sleeps with the fishes! Main Event Mafia style! I remember this like it was yesterday.
I mean the promo was so delicious to hear. Too bad TNA treated Christian Cage in that way.

More M.E.M content please
Didn't even give Christian the mic. What a waste. No wonder he bailed off this sinking ship.
Impact are trolling OSW at this point.
I remember that like it was yesterday
It was yesterday……
All except Scott steiner ended up in WWE 😂😂😂
Scott make amends though he got inducted into the Hall of Fame
@@RoscoeButtocks yup never wrestled again in the wwe he is to old now
Wish I saw this MEM live
What a historical faction
How different it would’ve been if fans didn’t put together that he was the one sabotaging Jeff Hardy in 08/09 and not Matt

Impact is just helping OSW for their MEM arc at this point.
I really didn't understand MEM's theme song and I'm still wondering what is it.
Hot garbage.
What did they do to Muslim Mosley, Jewish James, Buddhist Brian, Atheist Adam, and Agnostic Aaron?
Someone in impact is an osw fan
interesting how everyone else is now off tv and careers over and yet christian is still world champion :)
What happened to this version of CC theme?
he looks like Orange Cassidy
They were just jealous because Christian had a successful second run in WWE, just look at kurt pathetic second run. Most of these people are irrelevant now while Christian is still going strong proving why he is an all time great.
Successful? It was mid at best. He was mainly in the midcard and when he finally sniffed the main event, it was a joke run
@@lilosi445 He was in the best match at WrestleMania 2 years in a row.
Actually Christian took Kurt Angle spot in WWE ECW the brand was originally gonna be built around Kurt Angle than he left so when Christian came in they put the title on him until the show was over
They all gave him their finisher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And a couple months later he won the wwecw title
Eventually they all slept with the same fishes
Imagine if they let him in he would be their father
This was basically just Writing Christian Cage off Story because he is going Back To a Underwhelming WWE Return At the Time
It's not underwhelming
They all ended up in wwe 😅
MEM 4 lyf
Nah dx was my favourite
Mem forever
Christian OUT!!!!!!
Why is the bell ringing? LOL this was such a bad company
MEM cheat everytime
M.E.M = RESPEKKKKKK.
