There have been a lot of wrestlers both male and female that either left WWE because they wanted to or that WWE fired due to the fact that "creative had nothing for them." Those performers needed a place to work, so a lot of them ended up in TNA because they've been the second biggest promotion for the last decade. If you wanted to see Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Ken Anderson (Kennedy), MVP, Bobby Lashley and others then you watched TNA. The problem is that TNA would bring this guys in, assume that everybody knows them from WWE and then just present them as the same thing as their WWE personas. When a WWE fan sees something like that they want to turn it off after a while because They have had PPVs in TNA where more than half the matches feature former WWE performers. Sure, there have been TNA only guys like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, James Storm, Abyss, Christopher Daniels, Eric Young and others, but have any of them really made TNA a bigger company? No. They bring in ex-WWE stars, hope that their names from WWE will draw people in and then that hurts their own stars. In 2015 they're probably going to bring in Alberto Del Rio under some different name and portray him as this huge star. He was a huge star in WWE because they pushed him that way, but most WWE fans don't even care that he's gone. A lot of fans lost interest in him on his way out of the company.
