The former Mr Kennedy had huge support in both Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff upon all of them arriving in TNA in 2010, but his title reigns came too little and late to make the most of the reflected glory from his WWE run.

The company were often excellent at building heel groups, but routinely failed to find the right babyfaces to run through them. Anderson's win over Jeff Hardy in early-2011 was supposed to be just this, but went down poorly enough that he was a heel himself by the time he snared it for the second time six months later.
