10 TNA Rejects Doing Pretty Well For Themselves Elsewhere
Whilst the cream always rises to the top, TNA didn't quite see things that way.
As the walls close in on what was once the second largest wrestling promotion in the western world, the eulogies will begin to ring louder than ever. Eulogising TNA? Well that isn't anything that's strictly new, but with reports of multi-million dollar debt and everybody suing everybody about everything, it would seem as though reports of TNA's demise have been, well, accurate this time.
How will TNA be remembered? I like to think that it'll be remembered as a company that initially tried to give smaller competitors a showcase, the company that pushed women's wrestling in the mainstream when the industry leader was more interested in the other T and A, or even the company that almost gave the impression of being legitimate competition for WWE.
Of course, I'd like to think that, but the truth is it is more likely to be remembered for the bad decision as opposed to the good. TNA has had a huge amount of wonderful talent come through its doors, and for every individual it did justice to (EC3, Rockstar Spud, Magnus) there are countless it simply failed to get the most out of.
A number of these have gone on to great success elsewhere in the professional wrestling world, rubbing the egg ever deeper in the faces of TNA and its booking team. Here are 10 such pro grapplers.
