10 Things TNA Wants You To Forget About Abyss

TNA's long serving star has had a chequered history.

Abyss is one of TNA's biggest, and longest-tenured stars; in fact, he and James Storm are the only wrestlers still on the roster that appeared on their very first show back in 2002. It€™s been a long, bumpy road since then, and most of the company€™s early stars like AJ Styles, Ron Killings, Alex Shelley, Petey Williams and even Jeff Jarrett have left for greener pastures, but the Monster appears to be in for the long haul. He€™s a real foundational figure, and his presence has been a constant, even as regime and roster changes have rocked the promotion. His loyalty is pretty puzzling, given some of the startlingly bad angles and matches TNA has stuck him in over the years. He€™s been both jilted lover and psychotic stalker, both innocent victim and malevolent beast. He€™s been through more contrived family drama than anyone in wrestling not named €œMcMahon€, and he€™s apparently TNA€™s go-to guy to introduce irredeemably goofy gimmick matches and regrettable characters. He€™s had about as many alignment changes as Kane, and even less luck in world title convention. In short, Abyss has been through a lot, and this list compiles some of the strangest, most nonsensical, and disappointing moments in his otherwise storied career.
