10 Most Over-Pushed TNA Wrestlers Ever

3. Rob Terry

Rob Terry wasn’t always over-pushed, for most of his run in TNA, he was largely cast as a harmless bodyguard type figure. It wasn’t a bad spot for him to be in while he learned how to wrestle, except that he never learned how to wrestle!

That didn’t stop management from suddenly giving him a huge, Goldberg-like push during the Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff era. Maybe you can forgive them, as perhaps when they joined the company they had never actually watched the show and just gave Terry air-time because of his physique.

He ended up winning the Global Championship, and in some incredibly frustrating television to watch, he squashed his actually talented former stablemates Douglas Williams and Magnus. He then joined Team Hogan for a Lethal Lockdown match to continue his rise near the top.

Somehow, the new management team realized the dude just couldn’t wrestle and finally pulled the plug on his massive push.

What took them 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
