5 TNA stars whose departure could kill Impact Wrestling
TNA Wrestling, or IMPACT Wrestling, as they are more commonly known these days, is a company that has seen every peak and every pit that a roller coaster can offer. They were a once thriving underground operation, running shows out of the famous Nashville Fairgrounds. This was when the company was seeing its very best in-ring action and the cult following was almost bursting at the seams.
Then something happened and the once surging promotion decided they wanted to jump into the world they were not ready for. Instead of growing off of the success they were enjoying, TNA decided they wanted to be seen as a company who could possibly rival Vince McMahon and his juggernaut WWE. Unfortunately for TNA, they were not at all prepared for that journey.
TNA has gone through leaders, top talent, storylines and everything else that is operated under a professional wrestling umbrella. They have struggled through the Dixie Carter leadership, tested the waters with a rock-star and have now gone back to the drawing board by inserting the original face of the company back into the picture, which is, of course, Jeff Jarrett. Since arriving, Jarrett has certainly taken the bull by the horns, so-to-speak and has shown the world that he wants his company to be taken seriously.
To his credit, Jeff has already made huge strides in the right direction, primarily by going after and signing hot, new talent. As it stands, Impact has already added mega-star names such as Alberto el Patron, top free agent Matt Sydal and one of the best heavyweights of the past decade in the indie scene, Jax Dane, now known as Wilcox in the Veterans of War tag team. Needless to say, the talent pool is growing and that has always been an issue with TNA.
Along with all of the recent changes, the most significant change has been the partnership with Anthem Sports, which is the company who essentially took over and provided the financial backing needed to salvage Impact Wrestling.
So, when you look at the current TNA roster, there are several big names at the top of the roster. The company is going to have to depend on all of these guys sticking around, in order to make the new overhauling a success. But, the “what if’s” still remain. One of those “what if’s” involves the top talent.
When looking at the main eventers, here is a list of the 5 names who would cripple the promotion, if they were to depart the company. Here’s a look at 5 TNA Stars whose departure would kill Impact Wrestling.
#5 Moose
Since arriving in TNA, Moose has not only captured the hearts of the fanbase, but he has also gained the respect of an entire locker room. His size, presence and overall natural athleticism are simply unmatched. Moose has brought a new energy to the company that they have needed for quite some time.
As the two-time and current TNA Impact Grand Champion, this 6’5”, 300-pound monster is ready to move up and compete for TNA’s top prize, which would be the Impact World Championship.
