10 WWE Superstars That TNA Unsuccessfully Tried To Sign
4. Shelton Benjamin
But while Carlito may have had no interest in a move to TNA, the same cannot quite be said for Shelton Benjamin.
The Gold Standard, who created a hatful of memories in a number of ladder matches while on WWE’s payroll, recently opened up about his discussions with the company, noting that both parties were eager to do business.
Unfortunately though, he tells of how they were unable to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement in a series of highly articulate tweets.
As disappointed as he sounds though, he’s still got plenty of work on the table in Asia with New Japan Pro Wrestling and back in the US with Global Force Wrestling. Considering how respectfully and fondly Benjamin spoke of TNA though, don’t be surprised if this one eventually comes to fruition at some point later down the line.
