10 Most Confusing WWE Castoffs That TNA Signed

4. Test

Test was only over in WWE for a brief amount of time. That was during his storyline with Stephanie McMahon. That was likely due to it being a fun angle more than anything, because after that, Test never caught on, but the company sure as hell tried.

His run with Stacy Keibler and The Un-Americans and T & A failed to endear him to fans and he was let go. He later re-emerged with an even bigger push (and an ungodly ridiculous, impossible to legally obtain physique) in ECW in 2006. After a Wellness Policy violation, he left the company and TNA scooped him up a few months later.

Instead of treating him like a mid-card guy like he was in WWE, and perhaps letting him work his way up the card, he was immediately promoted as a BIG DEAL in TNA and was teamed up with Sting and Abyss in his first and only match.

In one of TNA’s most self-aware moments, they realized they couldn’t keep Test on the roster as his body was a gigantic red flag to the government that the wrestling industry wasn’t regulated in the least. They let him go, and he never returned as sadly he passed away a couple years later.

Still, it's a wonder that they ever signed him in the first place due to so many big problems staring them in the face.
