Not a day goes by that you don't go on social media and come across wrestling fans somewhere talking about those who have come and gone in WWE who didn't reach their full potential. And while I often think of those too, many often forget that TNA Wrestling has also had a lot of talented performers to work for them over the years, who also were not used to the best of their in ring abilities.

Many of these talented performers either worked their way from the very bottom of TNA's ranks, had been some of the best performers in Ring of Honor history, or had even previously shown great potential in WWE. Despite having all the attributes that have the makings of a great career in 'Dixie Land', these few were never given the opportunity to scratch the TNA surface.

So here are 10 Wrestlers Underutilized in TNA Wrestling.

10. Sonny Siaki

Sonny Siaki was not only a part of the very first TNA show on June 19, 2002, but also wrestled the very first match in company history, as he teamed up with Jimmy Yang and Jorge Estrada as the Flying Elvis trio, where they defeated Jerry Lynn, Low Ki, and AJ Styles in an action packed tag team match.

After just two weeks, Sonny departed the group, showing early promise as a cocky heel. Siaki would go on to win the X Division Championship and briefly feud with some of TNA's top talent as a part of Vince Russo's Sports Entertainment Extreme stable. Siaki would spend the remainder of his career in the mid card, often not involved in storylines.

Siaki parted ways with TNA in 2005 and retired from professional wrestling in 2008, after a three year stint in WWE's developmental territory.
