The Beat Down Clan (abbreviated to BDC) is a villainous professional wrestling faction in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) led by MVP.
History
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
Formation
On March 9, 2014, at Lockdown, MVP gained total control of wrestling operations in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as his team defeated Team Dixie. On the May 8th edition of Impact Wrestling, after telling TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eric Young how "proud" he was of him, MVP attacked Young and announced himself as the #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, turning Heel in the process. However, TNA announced on Friday that due a torn meniscus, MVP was deemed medically unfit to compete, removing him from the match in the process. According to PWInsider, the original plans were to crown MVP as champion. On the May 12 episode of Impact Wrestling, Lashley made his return after running out to the aid of Young, but instead hitting Young with a spear, and allying himself along with MVP and Kenny King, thus also turning heel form a, then nameless, group.
Championship success
The group then spent the following month feuding with Young over the title with Lashley earning a chance at Slammiversary XII in triple threat match also involving Austin Aries, but failing to win the title after Young pinned Aries. On the June 19th episode of Impact Wrestling, MVP and King helped Lashley win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Young, but firing Earl Hebner in the process. On June 26 episode of Impact Wrestling, MVP was relieved of his duties as Director of wrestling operations by Earl Sullivan Armstrong, Board of Directors Representative as he attempted to fire Bobby Roode, and MVP's replacement as Executive Director of Wrestling Operations was revealed to be Kurt Angle. The group specifically MVP then began to feud with Angle over this decision with both sides trading victories.
Lashley on the other hand defended his title successfully against the likes of Eric Young, Jeff Hardy, Austin Aries and Bobby Roode. On September 18, 2014, at the tapings for the October 28 edition of Impact Wrestling, Lashley lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Roode. Lashley regained the championship on January 7, 2015 with the help of MVP and King, but also from new members Samoa Joe and Low Ki as well as the turn and betrayal of Roode by his friend Eric Young. On the following night's tapings of the January 16, 2015 episode of Impact Wrestling, Low Ki defeated Austin Aries to win the TNA X Division Championship, which he lost the previous night. Later that night, Lashley refused to become apart of this new group and decided to leave, but was attacked by the other members and with MVP saying that the title belongs to the BDC.
