The best of the best in TNA are former WWE stars like Kurt Angle, Christian Cage, Tomko, Scott Steiner, Rhino, etc.
Somoa Joe is tight too but wasn't in WWE
Who else thinks that TNA is only worth watching because of former WWE stars?

TNA is tight because they chose to push a lot of these guys whereas WWE held most of them back except for Kurt Angle.

Actually, what first attracted me to TNA was the stars that I had heard of, but hadn't really had a chance to see often, that being AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Petey Williams remains my favorite TNA wrestler. To respond to some of the comments on here, WWE had Angle and Christian and they did nothing but hold Christian back. AJ Styles would NOT be a hit in WWE, they would limit his move set and he's too small for Vince's liking. I don't remember Samoa Joe ever being in ECW, he didn't start wrestling until 1999, ECW for all intents and purposes ended on January 7th, 2001. Saying that Edge should go to TNA because his "story" has been played out is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while, Edge is the top heel in wrestling today, period. Abyss would probably be jobbed out in WWE, he's too much like Kane and look at whats been done to him. WCW was not short lived, it lasted for 13 years. Big ups (did I just really say that?) to BKW and Adam C for proving not everyone who answered this question has some type of mental disease, people need to stop homering it and thinking their favorite promotion can do nothing wrong, every company in the world recruits people from other companies if they think they will help them out. It happens in football and every other sport, it happens in wrestling. Where do you think Triple H, Steve Austin, Mick Foley, the Undertaker came from? Other companies.

TNA is a joke and Vince Russo is a joke.
They have gold mines in AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, but Christian Cage, Jeff Jarrett and Abyss are the World Title contenders?
They completely buried Joe when Angle came in after a long undefeated streak (that also dated back to ROH), and if you've ever watched the ROH triple threat between AJ Styles, Christopher Danielson and Samoa Joe, you'd know that he is probably the best "big man" to ever wrestle.
The storylines are recycled crap from the low days of WCW, most of the wrestlers are old and unrelatable, and some of the amazing talent they do have is being completly underutilized.
TNA had so much potential and they've completly blown it. I'm not even sure if they can fix it before it's too late.

TNA is going to be short lived I can tell you that much look at WCW that was short lived so I think IMO that it will be short lived also...
Do I think TNA is only tight because of former WWE stars Heck yea I do and it is a shame that they could not find any wrestlers of their own they had to steal the ones from the WWE kind of sounds like what Eric Bischoff did to the WWF at the time when they took off.............

So true. TNA had to lure a way the former WWE stars just so that they could compete against WWE. I like to refer to TNA as the grave yard where has-been WWE stars go to fade out.
I mean, come on. TNA is basically a re-vamped WCW of this century. Heck, it's spelled out by what they call their world title, The NWA World Championship. In my opinion, not real original.

FYI, all of TNA's Wrestlers are not ex-WWE wrestlers.
There are a lot of TNA Wrestlers that have never set foot in WWE & don't plan to either.
Also TNA doesn't have to lure WWE talent away. WWE talent wants to come to TNA because it is better than WWE.
WWE now has Marcus Cor Von aka Monty Brown & they didn't want him til after he worked for TNA!
WWE also has Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Trinity, Sabu, Sandman, Cassidy Riley, Alexis Laree AKA Mickie James, & others that they didn't want til after they worked for TNA!
TNA has lots of wrestlers who have never worked for WWE - Sting, Abyss, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, & many more who would rather wrestle than being in stupid BS storylines in WWE!
TNA didn't have to lure Christian Cage away from WWE!
Christian wanted to come to TNA! His passion for wrestling has been renewed since coming to TNA!

1st, TNA is where old run down, no more appeal WWE wrestlers go to kill their career.
2nd, if AJ Styles were to come to wwe he would be a hit.
3rd, Samoa Joe used to be in the original ECW (not wwe brand). He was there only briefly before it closed.
He went to Japan to get more experience.
4th, now I wish Edge and Chavo would go to TNA, their stories are old and wayyyyyy played out.
