Angle was actually a main eventer in the WWE before he went to TNA. ECW was built around him when it started. Booker was also a main eventer in the WWE and the last King of the Ring. Christian was one of the few on Raw that could cut a decent promo. The Dudleyz were a top tag team in the WWE until WWE creative decided to split them up then ruined their singles push with lame angles. The same goes with Gunn and The Road Dogg. So why call them "rejects?" I am sure that the WWE would gladly welcome any of them back in the future. If Hogan can come back to the WWE, then anyone can.

Angle, Booker, and Christian were not fired. They quit. Angle asked for his release because he felt creative did not have a plan for him and he was burnt out. Booker flat refused to come back after he was suspended, even after the WWE tried to persuade him (and Ric Flair) to come back, per Jim Ross' blog that he writes on wwe.com. Christian's contract expired and he also felt that the WWE did not have anything to offer him.
The Dudleyz were let go, but not because they were bad, but because the WWE had a shortage of tag teams for them to feud with.

actually, i have been known to answer some of my questions referring to the wwe superstars who have since left wwe to sign with tna as rejects. actually, i haven't seen anybody else refer to them as that, but i get what you are saying. when i say it, i don't mean any disrespect to the superstars because what you have mentioned above is true. i would actually like to see alot of them return to wwe. wwe truly needs most, if not all, of these guys. i would personally have christian and the dudleyz come back immediately because christian was cool and the dudleyz could really be the top tag team in the wwe if they came back, i don't watch tna often enough to see how they are doing there. but, like i said, i don't mean any disrespect when i say "wwe rejects", i just use it to either point out a certain group, because everyone will know who i am talking about, and i guess i would just say that i am a little pissed off that they are no longer in the wwe, considering that i don't watch tna that often and i don't get to see them like i would if they were on raw or smackdown or even ecw. sorry for such a long explaination.

I don't know but Kurt Angle was WWE's top guy before he left and now people are calling him a has been.........WTF.
Most of the former WWE guys in TNA have still got a lot to give and weren't pushed properly in WWE so TNA is definitely the answer.

They call them rejects because TNA always ends up with people who were fired from WWE.. it's just kind of a mean name for them
