So since a lot of our TNA original favourites (and even ex WWE stars who were in TNA at one time) have gone either back to the WWE, NXT, ROH or just plain old retired, it leaves a very thin roster for the stars of Impact Wrestling.
So what Indy stars out there would you like TNA to snag up?? I am including ROH in that list too, since technically they are an Indy fed still.
Personally, I would love if Joey Ryan went back to TNA. Or if Adam Cole and Matt Taven went there to join Bennett and Maria. There are also two wrestlers I have seen in Paragon Pro Wrestling named Chamberlain and Hammerstone, which would make for a good tag team right now in TNA.

Moose, but he's fine in ROH, really.
Still, for as short as his career has been he has been quite impressive.

None. There is really no point in a young guy going to TNA. Its a place with a very low ceiling.
Basically they're better off only coming to TNA for a little while or not at all.

Being realistic I would say the top names to get from the indy scene would be Hero,Ciampa and War Machine.I know that Hero and Ciampa or totally free and clear to sign and I don't believe that War Machine are under contact right now with ROH because I don't remember them announcing that they resigned like O'Riley,Fish,Moose,Strong...ect over the last few months.

Hero, Sydal, Cole, Nese, MCMG....there are several, but some of these people have left TNA or were let go by TNA.

Jimmy havoc
Rey Mysterio jr
Motor city machine guns
(This one will likely NEVER happen)
Scott Steiner
I know I've gone for 'older' wrestlers
But that's because TNA have already got younger names that (done right) these picks could put over

You mean someone new coming in and getting the hot shot treatment and winning a belt. Then disappearing for 3-6 months and then announcing they are parted ways ?? No thanks, I could not recommend anyone enough to NOT go to tna. Any future wrestling talents need to avoid it like the plague. If aj styles can make more money and get more over going back to roh and japan, anyone else should be able to do the same just on a smaller scale. |

Plus a Mysterio/Hardy match up would draw pretty damn well for a main event caliber match up and if done right could bring some of those WWE eyes and fans over to the product. |

AJ Styles was the franchise of TNA. He was the man. People knew of him. Not just from his TNA run, but his initial run with ROH from 2002 - 2006 as well. So of course when he left TNA and hit up the indy feds that he would do well. Some new guy who is going from indy event to indy event trying to make more than $40 a weekend when it cost them $140 for gas, food and such is gonna jump at the chance to join a place like TNA Impact. |

Any indie wrestler that I'd want to get signed somewhere, I'd want to go to NXT or Lucha Underground and not TNA honestly. So, none? I guess. I watch TNA but there's definitely greener pastures.

Some of you guys are really dumb. If you are a pro wrestler, and the #2 company in American pro wrestling, that has a weekly TV show, wants to hire you to work for them, you would say no because you're butthurt it's not the WWE/NXT? The TNA hate is making some of you very stupid. Are the indies or ROH or sitting in the corner pouting really that much better?

Any wrestler would jump to the chance to be on TV and gain more national exposure. Some of you guys are really dumb.

I guess it's just cool to hate on TNA. TNA has had like 7 great IMPACT's in a row. Now, I've crticized TNA before, but I am drunk and will admit I was wrong and it was a neckbeard thing to I've been wrong about so much, like Nash being cancer to wrestling. That was silly. Nash is awesome, I watched his matches and promos. Funny as hell. Oh well, live and learn, you know? Lashley for Champ! |

If that's in regards to MY post, then you completely misrepresented what I said which was that I personally would want to see wrestlers go to NXT or Lucha Underground before TNA. Never said anything at all in regards to turning them down. That said, I also know how TNA does business. The national television exposure should do wonders for these guys' careers, but TNA's management are bungholes in regards to letting them get indie bookings if they are signed with them. And with what TNA is paying them, most are going to need that to supplement their income. So, yes, it would give me pause as a wrestler before signing with them, unless I could get a sweet deal that let me take my own bookings still. |
