20 Worst Wrestlers In TNA History

17. Randy Savage

Let's take nothing away from the legendary Macho Man Randy Savage: he was one of the greatest workers of all-time and had countless epic feuds and matches throughout his illustrious career. A bonafide legend of the highest calibre, some fans refused to recognise WWE's Hall of Fame until Savage was put in it in 2015. When Savage turned up in TNA in 2004, however, it was clear that his best years were very far behind him.

Savage was a great worker as late as 1997/8, when he had a series of excellent bouts with the likes of DDP and Bret Hart. After that it was clear the years of injuries and wear-and-tear had broken him down beyond repair. Savage's TNA run was a disaster. He not only refused to do anything other than throw a few punches during the end of his scheduled six-man tag mach at the Turning Point PPV but he also demanded to win the Heavyweight Title in his second match. Oh, and he also nearly had a backstage fight with Hulk Hogan, who was visiting with friends.

Wearing all-black, body-concealing attire and sporting a huge beard, Savage was virtually unrecognisable from his WWE or even later WCW days. Watching him lumber around the ring and reading about his backstage behaviour at the time was just sad.
