10 Best TNA Wrestlers Who Didn't Win Gold
3. Monty Brown
Monty Brown really shouldn't be on this list. It is often brought up when discussing TNA and their inability to pull the trigger on certain individuals on their roster, but never has a ball been missed as terribly and as woefully as the botching of Monty Brown.
When TNA began, it was a land of old veterans and upstarts, with not much in the way of organic heavyweight stars in the middle. Monty Brown was their one hope, a ridiculously charismatic man with a big pop finisher and seemingly no ceiling. The crowd were desperate for him to become their world champion.
As it transpired, TNA felt the right thing to do was to turn him heel and align him with the champion, Jeff Jarrett. This was quite clearly the wrong thing to do.
