No one else but Jeff Jarrett could close out this list. He’s easily the most over-pushed talent in TNA history, and in the decades to come it’s going to be hard for anyone to unseat him on this throne.

Jeff started the company with his dad, longtime promoter Jerry Jarrett, and it seemed the entire thing was a vanity project. Now Double J was a great mid-card heel in the WWF, but he just didn’t have the talent to be a top star. In WCW, they tried to make him Heavyweight Championship material, and while he was pushed as one, the fans didn’t buy it. TNA would finally fix all that, or so the idea seemed to be.

Jarrett was the top star for years, holding the World Title more often than not, and either aligning himself with, or facing every former top WCW and WWF star that came in. DDP, Sting, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Gail Kim, Rhino, Kurt Angle...it didn't matter who. If they had name value, bah' gawd they were going to be involved with Jarrett!

Eventually Jeff did tone it down a little on himself, but you can only imagine how many fans he turned off by promoting himself as the center of the TNA universe for so long.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
