1. Gail Kim

While she may have gotten her start in WWE, make no mistake that Gail Kim has always been better off in TNA. Following a forgettable WWE run, she migrated to TNA, where she helped institute the Knockouts division and bring women's wrestling to heights not reached in North America for some time, in an iconic rivalry with Awesome Kong.

Just as she was hitting her stride in TNA, WWE took notice of her improvement and rehired her in late 2008. But her second stint was worse than her first, not once holding championship gold. And to think she was there for nearly three years before she got fed up with her position in the company and quit in August 2011.

It didn't take her long at all to resurface in TNA mere months later, quickly regaining the Knockouts Championship and reclaiming the top spot in the division. Five years have passed and she remains at the top of her game in TNA, a five-time Knockouts champion and a soon-to-be TNA Hall of Famer.

Those clamoring for another run for her in the 'E should remember how badly they botched her first two, and should just realize she is and always has been better off without them.
