Not a day goes by that you don't go on social media and come across wrestling fans somewhere talking about those who have come and gone in WWE and didn't reach their full potential. And while I often think of those too, many often forget that Impact Wrestling has also had a lot of talented performers to work for them over the years, who also were not used to the best of their in-ring abilities.

Many of these talented performers either worked their way from the very bottom of Impact's ranks, had been some of the best performers in Ring of Honor history, or had even previously shown great potential in WWE.

Despite having all the attributes that have the makings of a great career in 'Dixie Land', these few were never given the opportunity to scratch the Impact surface.

So here are 10 wrestlers that were wasted by the former TNA Wrestling.


#10 Tyrus

One of these had a great run, the other, not so much...

Former WWE and Impact star, Brodus Clay, who performed for Impact under the name Tyrus, joined the then TNA Wrestling in 2014, shortly after he was released from WWE.

Tyrus was used as a bodyguard for his entire first run with Impact, first with EC3, then Matt Hardy, Eli Drake, and finally, Bruce Prichard. The former 'Funkasaures' announced last August that he had requested and received his release from Impact Wrestling because the company wasn't treating him right, however, he returned to Impact Wrestling on the latest set of tapings.

Let's hope they can put him to better use this time around.
