20 Worst Wrestlers In TNA History

14. Black Reign

His career might be coming to a close now, but Dustin 'Goldust' Runnels has done a damn good job of leaving a positive lasting impression before hanging up his blonde wig and aureate tights for good. It really has been refreshing to see a guy of Dustin's age see out his remaining years with so much dignity in tact.

Of course, just a few short years ago in TNA, Runnels was an overweight, uncoordinated mess, stinking out the joint as Goldust rip-off 'Black Reign'. He wore a black and silver suit, black wig, and carried around a pet rat. Oh, the rat was re-named Terri by Kaz, in a reference to Goldust's ex-wife and former WWE diva Terri Runnels. Nobody cared. The gimmick sucked, his performances sucked, and the feuds with the likes of Rellik (Hey, that's 'Killer' spelled backwards!') sucked too.

Runnels/Reign really outstayed their welcome, eventually leaving the company in April 2008. About six months later, Goldust found himself back in WWE. I cannot for one second believe Vince and co. hired him again based on his half-baked performances in TNA.
