Why do people keep on saying that some of the wrestlers in TNA are WWE rejects when they are not?

Question

Here are some examples

Christian Cage- How is he reject when he turned a higher money offer from WWE to go to TNA. He chose to go to TNA on his own terms because he was sick with the way WWE was using him. When Christian faced Batista on RAW once for the world title more people cheered for Christian. Christian was also more entertaining on the mic than Cena and that's when Cena started to get booed.

Kurt Angle- He was promoted as WWE's best wrestler and they offered him a five year contract to stay when he recovered from his serious injuries but he turned the offer down.

Rhino- WWE did not make the most out of a former ECW world champion when ECW was actually good. Last year he was offered a contract to sign for the new ECW but he turned it down.

Team 3D/dudley boyz- arguably the greatest tag team in wrestling history. WWE were so dumb to release these two. Its ironic how WWE need them now.

VKM- these two were part of the successful DX during the attitude era and were the exciting new age outlaws. WWE gave stupid gay gimmicks to Billy in his last years in the company.

Gail kim- Her release was so stupid. She is a good wrestler, athletic and beautiful. All what WWE wants are models that will pose for playboy that can't even wrestle. 'cough' ashley 'cough' candice

TNA have their own stars like aj styles, chris daniels, abyss, samoa joe, LAX and much more

Basically WWE does not make the most out of its wrestlers that's why it's starting to suck now. Expect RVD to sign for TNA this year. Chris Jericho has also rated TNA highly and he even sang his rock song for one of their ppvs last year. If Jericho ever returns to wrestling expect him to join TNA

To Russel G- The average don't suceed in TNA its the good wrestlers. The true talent in WWE like carlito, jeff etc. are underrated in favour of bodybuilders with poor mic skills like lashley and Batista

Answer 1

people buy vinces propoganda.
wwe pushes talentless losers and steroid freaks.

Cage is an example of what he could have been doing all along if he wasnt held back.

Angle was injury prone but definitely not a reject. He is the best wrestler in the business. The same people that call him a reject cheered for him last year as ecw and smackdown champ

Dudleys are the most sucessful, most dominant tag team in wrestling history.

Ron Killings was in wwe for a little while but they didnt use him well and he did great in tna

Rhino was a vicious, successful ecw world champ, but they never gave him a chance in wwe.

Gail/Christy- they can out wrestle 90% of the women wwe has.

Or look at shannon moore. He was only in tna 2 months and he was about to be a breakout star and the x-division champ, now look where he is in wwe.

wwe actually looks like they're trying to get some of that "reject" tna talent.
Rhino refused a contract.
AJ styles has 4 times

They signed Jeff Hardy back from TNA once they helped him get his act back together
they signed sabu from tna
they resigned Shannon Moore
they signed Kazarian (and then didnt use him and dumped him)
and they just signed monty brown and cassidy riley (tna's 2 worst members, congratulations vince)

Once they get RVD and Y2J they will be huge

Answer 2

^ Actually Grand Master Sexay is Jerry "The King" Lawler's son Brian, not A.J. Styles. ^


First off, the only person you listed that ISN'T a WWE Reject is Christian basically because he rejected the WWE, not the other way around.

Angle wanted time away from wrestling and said he'd persue MMA, which was a lie in order to get a release from the WWE.

Rhino..... well I don't have to say anything about Rhino because he was never really THAT good in the ring.

The Dudleyz basically screwed themselves by failing as solo wrestlers. The WWE was overcrowded with tag teams at the time of their release and it was a well known fact that they wanted huge figures to be added to your pay.

Gail Kim was a great female wrestler but she had NO character and thats what the WWE is all about. It was sad that she couldn't cut a promo to save her life but it happens.

Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg were made famous by DX, they weren't even close to being as popular without them, so they can keep talking like they're big men because the truth is obvious.\

I'm not bashing the TNA product at all but they just don't have the same characters that exist in the WWE. There are tons of TNA talent that would go nowhere in the WWE and there is too much proof existing to say the opposite. All the WWE talent that jumped ship have succeeded in some way, shape, or form because they're great in the ring as well as the mic. Plus there's so much more marketability for the average WWE Superstar as opposed to the TNA Wrestler.

It all comes down to what you enjoy watching when it comes to wrestling. If you like deepish storylines, great characters, and a couple matches per show, and top notch production values then WWE is your product of choice. If you like innovation in the ring, not so much depth behind characters and storylines, a place where the most average can succeed, quite a few matches squeezed into the show, and seeing some of the older (somewhat washed up) wrestlers then TNA is your product.

Answer 3

The people who call them rejects are just upset that they left the WWE, before I started watching TNA I was so upset that christian left, and I thought that Kurt Angle made the biggest mistake of his life, yet now that I watch TNA I understand that Kurt is getting the Main event cards and the matches he deserves and Christian is an amazing heel and just recently picked up the NWA title, something the WWE would never do because they would prefer to have some talentless bodybuilders as their heavyweight champions. The people who bad mouth TNA have never seen TNA, and I should know because I used to be one of those people who hated TNA.

Smokey - The dudley boys ripped up a WWE contract at a TNA house show, The WWE offered Christian so much more money than TNA but he still left, Kurt Angle begged for a release from his contract, keep acting like an ignorant fool, but those are the facts.

Answer 4

have to agree there with you.christian is getting a proper push on tna then he ever got over on wwe & i guess hell get the belt at some stage.
kurt left by mutual agreement as he needed time off for his injuries.
rhyno was hopelessly under-used.after the hardcore belt was discontinued that was the end for him.
3D going was a mistake for sure.with all the injuries on wwe & coming up to wmania vince must wish they were back.

Answer 5

The Hardy boyz were rejects but they came back
Christian
Jericho
Kevin Nash
Kurt Angle was fired by the WWE
so was Rhino
The Dudleyz are never going to be close to the Road Warriors and they are rejects

Answer 6

Company jealousy.

Answer 7

actually i thought aj styles was grand master sexxy when he was in wwe if im right he was in the wwe

Answer 8

i really don't care what people say.tna is a very good hour of wrestling.they use their talent right.and they have a very good show to prove it.

Answer 9

Are you kidding me! If they had the chance to go back to wwe they would take it, but wwe doesnt want them and thats why there rejects.TNA SUCKS

Answer 10

Because they are
