'''The Main Event Mafia''' (occasionally abbreviated to '''MEM''') was a [[Heel|heel]] stable in the professional wrestling promotion [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA). The group included leader [[Matt Borske]], [[Kevin Borden|Sting]] (who had temporarily led the Main Event Mafia before being ousted), [[Kevin Nash]] (with [[Survivor: The Amazon]] winner [[Jenna Morasca]]), [[Steve Britz|Booker T]] (with his real-life wife [[Tia George-Britz|Tia]]), [[Scott Hunter]], [[Samoa Simpson]], and [[Tracy Brooks|Traci Brooks]]. All the male members of the stable were multiple time [[World Heavyweight Championship|world champions]] of multiple companies, TNA included, with extensive experience in main event matches. The MEM at one time held all the male titles TNA had to offer, with unsuccessful aspirations to acquire TNA's women's championships as well.

The group formed in late 2008 and had since been largely successful, with Sting and Kurt Angle being [[TNA World Heavyweight Championship|TNA World Heavyweight Champions]], Booker T introducing a new [[Championship|championship]] into TNA called the [[TNA Television Championship|TNA Legends Championship]] and declaring himself the first official champion with Kevin Nash going on to win the belt as well and Booker T and Scott Hunter holding the [[TNA World Tag Team Championship]]. The group's formation was the result of TNA introducing a new storyline in which the veterans began a rivalry with younger talent within the company (who call themselves [[The TNA Front Line]]); with the MEM being the [[Heel|villains]] of the storyline as the veterans modelling themselves after the ''Mafia'', portrayed as being upset at the disrespect being shown by the younger wrestlers.
