10 Most Over-Pushed TNA Wrestlers Ever

4. Crimson

When people think of great wrestling undefeated streaks, they think of Goldberg’s and The Undertaker’s. Most people likely don’t remember Crimson having one...if they remember who he was.

Crimson was brought in as the “little” brother of Amazing Red...thus the Crimson name. Ugh. His first match was against Jeff Jarrett and he dominated the contest. He was given a high-profile role in the company, and was featured in tag matches with Kurt Angle.

Somebody absolutely loved this guy, and put him over Abyss and Samoa Joe, and had him lead the standings for a shot at the TNA title before his character was injured. Eventually, he was no longer pushed as a top star, but still remained undefeated, until after 470 days when James Storm beat him.

Crimson was in over his head. He was an okay wrestler, but for starters, he didn’t look anything like a monstrous, unstoppable wrestler. He looked more like a swimmer than anything.

It’s actually a bit of a shame, though, that the company let him go when they did, as when he dropped the undefeated streak that no one cared about, he was actually a pretty good heel.

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
