10 Wrestlers TNA/IMPACT Should've Pushed Harder

The Jannetty of America's Most Wanted deserved a hell of a lot more than TNA ever gave him. AMW were the kings of TNA's tag division for years, rocking the house time and time again with excellent, high octane bouts and blood feuds. By '07, it was clear that Chris Harris and James Storm were both brimming with singles star potential.

Assigned the babyface role in their inevitable split, 'Wildcat' was a sympathetic figure out for revenge after Storm shattered a beer bottle in his eye. Barring that bizarre bag-on-head cage match at Lockdown '07, the feud was a hit and showcased great intensity and conviction from both men.

Sadly for Harris, his babyface role was dumped soon after. Instead, his schtick was to walk around complaining that he'd been overlooked and misused by TNA management (which, to anyone with eyes, was plain to see). The new persona, unsurprisingly, failed to launch, making his vindicating, feud-ending victory over James Storm in their rivalry a few months earlier pointless.

As it stands in 2022, Harris is arguably better known as the doomed meme that was Braden Walker in WWE's awful reboot (read: butchery) of ECW. Following a couple of bland matches in an ill-fitting singlet, 'Wildcat' faded into obscurity, never reaching even the most middling of highs during his brief returns to TNA in the years after.

One viewing of his queasily brutal Texas Death match victory over James Storm at Sacrifice '07 will tell you Chris Harris could've been a somebody in the Impact Zone.
