10 TNA Characters You Totally Don't Remember

You're forgiven for not remembering these people.

TNA has seen nowhere near the popularity that WWE has enjoyed since 2002, but they’ve still delivered a few memorable characters during the course of their existence. Talent like A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe and "Broken" Matt Hardy have given us some great memories, but there have been quite a few names that are largely forgotten.

Perhaps it’s not hard to see why. If you watch the first TNA pay-per-views from the Nashville playgrounds, and compare it to a modern Impact, the shows look absolutely nothing alike. Besides the higher budget, and less reliance on aged WCW and WWE stars, there’s also far less goofy gimmicks.

At least in some ways, TNA has matured a bit (though not enough to get rid of the immature company name), and have gotten rid of some of their most outlandish and offensive acts over the years. Because of that, a few wrestlers were only there for a brief amount of time before leaving, never to be seen or heard from again.

Oftentimes, forgetting these men and women is in our best interest, but they still deserve a shout out for their contributions to the company, however little they may have been.

Here are 10 gone, but not forgotten TNA characters. Wait...no, they are both gone and forgotten. Still, let's talk about them.

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
