It's such an inspiration that Dustin got through the Black Reign period to return as Goldust, clearly in great shape and motivated, with awesome in-ring performances and continued on through his post-WWE career in AEW to this day.

It's true. Seeing Dustin today in his 50's busting out Destroyers effortlessly, looking in as good of physical condition as he did in the 90's, thank the gods he's still with us. Going back to Black Reign is just an icky experience now. Seeing Dustin, the worst shape of his life, in the worst mental space he's ever been in, going through the crap he was going through, trying to play Goldust as a monster heel is just the most depressing thing. Impact/TNA can do creepy characters. Abyss, Judas Messias, Father James Mitchell, Rosemary, Su Yung, all spinechilling characters. But Black Reign wasn't scary. It was sad. It was very, very sad

Well in the intro they mention someone who may have just been disappointing. For Booker you could tell he was just phoning it in hence it may have felt like a flop knowing how much better it could’ve been if he had ever bothered to truly try. In a sense I think they’re saying look at how well he did not even trying what could things have been if he had actually given a damn

Honorable mention Tyson Tomko. Though this was TNA’s fault. He came back in as Christian’s problem solver, but he gain so much momentum to the point that he was the most over guy on the roster, more than both Angle and Christian. So what does TNA do? Turn him heel and become Kurt Angle’s bodyguard. His momentum died over night and it killed his career. His last appearance I recall was Christian calling him a bitch in a promo. Fitting.

That would require Cultaholic to say something positive about TNA/Impact, without the backhandedness so not likely to happen. Agreed though, Christian Cage and Kurt Angle would 100% be the clear 1 and 2 I think. Team 3D, Rhino, Gail Kim, EC3, and Bobby Lashley (before his WWE championship reign) would probably make that list too. Maybe with some more recent names like Deonna Purrazzo, Sami Callihan, and Big Cass. Although maybe way too early to include Cass/Morrissey, but the dude has been LEGIT since his debut, which I would have never imagined.

2010 was the peak of "Hey, instead of using the current talent we have. Let's bring-in a whole bunch of old guys and push them" mentality TNA had at that point. It didn't help that they developed the fascination of bringing-in every single name that gotten released by WWE around that time as well. All for a pointless ratings war with Monday Night Raw that did nothing for them.

No former WWE superstar ever flopped in TNA like Ric Flair did. Most of people on this list were not in TNA long enough to even try to make something. Flair was there for full two years and except for the very start as mentor to AJ Styles, Kazarian and Beer Money, everything else is best to be totally forgotten. Flair himself has said many times that he regretted signing with TNA and that he didn't have a single positive memory about it.

7:21 = Anybody else here forgot that that team ever existed? Seriously The Bashams were massively forgettable & generic looking. Even when they were recruited into JBL's stable they were barely noticeable. If not for this countdown, I would never have even remembered them.

The worst thing to me about Orlando Jordan's bisexual gimmick was that he was hoping that it would help other bisexual people come out, and be comfortable with themselves. All the while, everybody at TNA was treating him like a freak. Cause, well, he was acting like one. The gimmick was a 90s caricature without any actual sex. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually caused several bisexuals to stay in the closet for longer because of how bad it was.

If Prince Iaukea (The Artist managed by Paisley/Sharmell) had gone to impact wrestling, he would have been known as Burger King the second. The first being Jerry The King Lawler. And imagine Prince Iaukea and Sharmell together again but this time with King Booker in impact wrestling.

I think Orlando Jordan's bi gimmick was about ten years too soon. With the current crop of artists out there like Little Nas X and Sam Smith doing what their doing. His gimmick would have fit right in.

I Was actually at Dustin Rhodes first appearance in the Meadowlands Arena in NJ back in 89. Also making his 1st appearance was HHH one was wrestling as Terror Rising. I only got tickets because I thought it was Dusty Rhodes. Dustin really got screwed over, hated Golddust. HHH he got to screw The Bosses daughter. Stephanie McMan after Macho Man deflowered her.

What a dumb comment, its wrestling, wrestlers can go wherever they want, almost every major wwe star of the last decade came from other companies, mostly roh but also impact. In fact i think joe and aj alone even wwe and impact out wwe would have sucked without them.

@@michaelwoods3141 that's true, but that's not what I meant in my comment. What I was saying was that TNA was a good alternative for people who didn't like the WWE product and still want to watch wrestling, it's just after a while it felt like TNA was trying to artificially grow itself by trying to sign up anyone who was in WWE for a cup of coffee instead of focusing on its homegrown Talent like AJ or Joe.

@@reygonzalez4719 People have this weird recollection of TNA. NWA-TNA days had a hell of a lot more random WWE, WCW, and ECW wrestlers showing up out of nowhere, on top of Jeff Jarrett constantly in the main event scene. Even Hogan era had some way better stuff than back then, although the bad was definitely REALLY BAD. 2012 alone had Bobby Roode, James Storm, Jeff Hardy, Austin Aries, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, and Sting in a stacked main event/upper card scene. As opposed to Jeff Jarrett running through everybody? Then the rest of the card still had names Like Bad Influence/SCU, Zema Ion, Kenny King, Samoa Joe, Magnus, RVD, Chris Sabin, Gunner, and EC3. Impact today since 2018 have been putting on way better overall PPVs than TNA back in the day, honestly. Back then, PPVs were kinda hit and miss overall with the only redeeming matches usually being the X Division. But nowadays the PPVs are good top to bottom.
