Why does wwe wrestlers go to tna

Plus, because wrestling is pre-determined, and thanks to a high level of parity and talent on the roster, things were always interesting, as people moved up and down on a weekly basis, and things stayed tight right up until the final show, trying to make the Top 4. It was a unique and enjoyable yearly event that truly set TNA apart.

And then, for no reason, they just stopped doing it. WCW only showed a profit for two years of its entire existence, and those profits were wiped out almost instantly when the company started going downhill. WWE is the exception, not the rule, and it took ruthless business practices, getting into the PPV market before anyone else knew how lucrative it was going to be, and about sixteen other factors, including an incredible amount of luck, to get to where it is today.

And when Dixie Carter was suddenly forced to make her vanity side project profitable on its own, the fact that the company actually had no real ways to make any money became a huge issue. And when TNA tried to run live events outside of the Impact Zone, they booked arenas far too large to fill with their actual fanbase, making the shows money losers instead of revenue generators.

To be fair, their international shows actually did quite well, but those were only a handful of events every year. Unfortunately, those same people were regularly driven away by a single factor that scuttled every single attempt at a deal: Dixie Carter. The problem was, any sale of TNA always came with a caveat that would see Carter retain a role in the company, and given that her actions had regularly put the company into bad financial positions, anyone attempting to buy the company almost certainly did not want her having input into how it was run.

In addition, Carter had transitioned into an on-screen role that she reportedly did not want to give up without a fight. However, rather than stay small, develop their own homegrown talent along with a mix of veterans from WWE and the independent scene, create a loyal fanbase in a dedicated territory, and absorb some early losses in what would be a long and difficult journey towards even moderate success, TNA tried to have everything right away.

Unfortunately, everyone makes mistakes. Stephen Randle is an avid wrestling and film fan. He's been writing about WWE, movies, and video games for Goliath since Drew McIntyre was the Chosen One. After jumping ship to TNA, Drew has achieved, what many believe to be his true potential. Making his debut as a face, Austin quickly turned heel and has since been a regular feature of NXT programming.

However, TNA noticed his potential and signed him. Joe is another one of those superstars that made his way to the top through the Indies. For a pound man, Joe is surprisingly agile and devastating.

Joe has become an integral part of the NXT roster and is locked in a bitter rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura. However, he always looked uncomfortable in the babyface persona and was deemed average in the ring at best. His most memorable match in the company was the WrestleMania 23 clash with Umaga in the Battle of the Billionaires where he represented Donald Trump. He found a new heel gimmick, improved his wrestling style and has since dominated the TNA landscape.

New User posted their first comment. Log in. RVD is always incredibly popular, wherever he goes and his in-ring work has always spoken for itself. In a company that really thrives on allowing its talent to put together amazing matches, it is no surprise that RVD is one of TNA's greatest stars.

He's worked in the main event scene and built up other names around him, which is all you can ask for from a veteran in the locker room.

It is acceptable to have forgotten the fact that Matt Morgan is a former WWE Superstar, as his time with the company wasn't that memorable. He was a monster in the ring but also cut some fantastic promos along the way, putting together a decent career. People were shocked when WWE decided to release Mr. Kennedy, as he was seen as someone who had real potential to be a main event star. He was an excellent signing for the company, and as Mr. Anderson, he really thrived with TNA.

Getting the chance to compete in the main event scene, Mr. Anderson brought all of his charisma and passion to create some amazing moments. However, in TNA, he was an amazing arrogant heel that was presented as a top star. His work with Rockstar Spud and Dixie Carter created moments that will always be remembered in TNA, as he helped the company during some of its tougher years.
