We may be witnessing the final days of TNA. WWE’s largest stateside competitor over the years could very well be meeting their final deletion at any moment.

It wasn’t too long ago that WWE wanted nothing to do with TNA wrestlers. Guys like Bobby Roode, Eric Young and A.J. Styles didn’t get their shot in the company until they were nearing their 40. Thankfully that’s changed just in time for TNA's demise!

While it's unfortunate for the men and women who would be losing their jobs, there are a few wrestlers who may end up better off if the company went under. WWE could have nearly anybody they want from TNA, and could choose to place them in NXT or on the main roster to boost interest in the current product, as well as add depth to the troubled brand split rosters.

But who would be the best talent to pick up?

Now, a couple of notes here before we begin. Gail Kim isn't listed, as she likely wouldn’t be welcomed back for throwing herself out of a battle royal in her last WWE run. Aron Rex was just released by them, so they aren't likely to offer him a deal either. And Cody Rhodes left WWE on his own accord, so he’ll likely continue doing what he’s doing on the indy scene. Otherwise, everyone else is in play.

Now, let’s take a look at the 10 TNA wrestlers who would make the biggest impact in WWE.

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
