10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Better In TNA

Vince McMahon never quite got the Raven character. When Scott Levy came back to WWE after years away, the boss is rumored to have remarked “Who the f**k hired Johnny Polo?”, which was his old cartoonish character in the company. It’s a shame if the boss didn’t see the man’s fantastic work in ECW and WCW as Raven.
In WWE, he was given a decent push upon his debut, and received a mid-card match at WrestleMania 17 against Kane and The Big Show, but after that was painfully underused. He spent most of his run as a jobber, and was a complete non-factor in The Invasion angle. After being relegated to appearing on Sunday Night Heat only, he was finally released.
A mere two days after being let go by WWE he showed up in TNA, and was put in a top program with Jeff Jarrett. It was great to see the old Raven back again, as the man was rejuvenated, and free to be himself. A couple of years later, he finally became a world champion again, something that Vince would have never gifted him with.
Now, not all of Raven’s work in TNA was great. Serotonin was another attempt at a Flock-like stable, and the EV 2.0 run wasn’t good for anyone. But overall, the man fared much better there, and it’s a too bad that he never got that one big push on the main stage he deserved.
