10 Forgotten TNA Appearances By Ex-WWE Stars

10. Paul Bearer

The late great Paul Bearer left such an indelible legacy as The Undertaker (and later Kane's) manager/father/goodness-knows-what that even the sight of him working anywhere else after his 1991 WWE debut looks like it occurred in another timeline.

This particular stint with Total Non-Stop Action during the organisation's relatively early days has the added weirdness of falling between a very quiet WWE release in 2002 and his epic return alongside 'The Deadman' at WrestleMania XX in 2004, suggesting that he selected a fate involving being sealed in cement rather than staying the course with the wacky weekly-pay-per-view era of TNA.

Going by Percy Pringle III as he'd done pre-WWE, he debuted as many did at the time - as a cliffhanger character from the past that stood to potentially shift the landscape of the organisation forever. That didn't really happen for the mortician. After a remarkably uneventful run during a time where just about everything on the shows was eventful, Pringle departed in 2003 and began preparing for his aforementioned 'Show Of Shows' return.
