10 Wrestlers Who Did Their Best Work In TNA/IMPACT

10. Mr Anderson

MISTERRRRR ANNNNDDERRRRSSSONNNNNN...... ANNNNNNDERSONNNN wasn't quite as catchy as Mr Kennedy unless you were a major Matrix fan. Luckily for Mr Mic Check, everything else wrestling-related went much better for him in the house that Jarrett built. Treated as a main event prospect right out the gate (like seemingly all former WWE stars at the time), Anderson enjoyed the best matches of his career with Kurt Angle in 2010 and held the world title twice in 2011.

Once viewed as a future megastar by top WWE brass, a miserable cocktail of injuries, foot-in-mouth syndrome whenever PEDs came up in interviews, and dropping Randy Orton led to his downfall and release. While TNA kept him in a prominent spot on their roster throughout his initial run with them, he was never given the ball to completely run with.

Both of Anderson's world title reigns lasted a month before dropping them back to Jeff Hardy and Sting, respectively (apparently face paint is Anderson's kryptonite). The other flaw in his booking concerned his constant heel and face turns, causing him to come across as a regular-sized Big Show.

While Anderson's time in TNA wasn't exactly Ric Flair in 1989, it was a more effective showcase of his talents and credibility than WWE ever gave him.
