12 TNA Talents Unfairly Held Back

By Andrew Soucek /

8. Low Ki

What He Was/Is: Another one of the stars of the X-Division in the early years of the company, as well as one-third of one of the company€™s greatest tag teams in Triple X. After leaving for a few years, he's currently the X-Division Champion, but only because Samoa Joe was injured and had to forfeit the title. What He Should Have Been: A main-eventer. There is no one like Low Ki in all of wrestling. His offense is brutally realistic, he has a distinct aura about him, and he has perhaps the most unique voice in the business! Granted, Ki isn€™t the easiest guy to work with behind-the-scenes in wrestling, but perhaps his poor push in the major companies has something to do with that. WWE doesn€™t employ a lot of shorter men, because they€™re often still stuck in the 1980s mentality of muscle bound monsters. And when they do have shorter guys (Daniel Bryan) they€™re endlessly mocked on-air for it. TNA could have pushed Ki as a giant killer. He looks like he legitimately could be. Instead, they went with the €œexpendable mid-carder€ route. Well, that€™s one way to push a wrestler. Probably not the best way, but a way.
