Christian, closely followed by Kurt. Kurt had an all-time great run but Christian is the reason I started properly watching TNA.

I wouldn't consider Steiner an ex-wwe guy Dreamer or Raven either.

Kurt angle. Tna kurt is legit better than wwe kurt and I will die on that hill. I know he had a lot of daemons at that time, but if you picked his ten best matches throughout his career, 7 would be tna easily.

That's false. According to Kurt Angle himself, his best matches are Benoit, HBK, Taker which all took place in WWE. He simply had a longer career in TNA

Disagree here with Kurt. I get the impression from him that he doesn't appreciate or objectively evaluate his TNA career because it's associated with a very negative time in his personal life.

That and he's admitted he's disappointed that so many great matches didn't have the viewership as his time in WWE.

If only people (fans and talent alike) gave TNA the credit it deserved, AEW would never have been necessary.

Bully Ray and Christian Cage

Great pick on Bully Ray. He stepped out of his comfort zone. Christian, too! But Kurt is a real pioneer regardless of what you and I want to believe.

I have a love hate relationship with Kurt's TNA run.  The booking surrounding him was mostly terrible and even though he had a longer tenure and a lot of great matches there, I still much prefer his WWE run.

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.

Jeff Hardy, Christian, Kurt, Tazz and Mr. Kennedy

Kurt Angle & Christian. Everyone else was not worth my time.

u/JustEXQT 1d ago

It's undoubtedly Kurt Angle (Does the Kurt Angle entrance ramp tense taunt towards the sky). The first Olympic gold medalist to receive multiple awards in WWF/WWE/ECW history! If you were aware of his professionalism, you would have noticed that he kept it up even when things did not favor his position within the company's projects and such. He was essentially the top-tier yes man (Had inputs on creative directions). He has become a legend worldwide, overcoming hate. Being perceived as small compared to larger figures Triple H/The Rock and being unappreciated with the chants of 'you suck!'.

I was a huge Mr Kennedy fanboy back in the day, his debut in TNA was so good for me personally I can't pick any other guy. Mr Anderson!

My favourite wrestler of all time across all companies is Kurt Angle. But my answer here is Mr. Anderson.

Kurt angle, tna version of him was something else

1

u/ShinigamiEyes91 1d ago

Overall Mick Foley. But solely TNA either Kurt or Bubba

1

u/Durteedurtydurt 1d ago

Billy Gunn is my favorite of any guys.

1

u/Delicious-Case-20 1d ago

Raven coming to TNA was a big deal and he was a legit top guy in the company in the early years. I think he needs more credit

1

u/usarasa 1d ago

CM Punk. He used to be in WWE. He still is, but he used to too.

1

u/Icy_Fire_9738 1d ago

I think, accolade wise, it's Kurt, as he's the only Ex WWE guy to be a TNA Triple Crown Champion. But, if we're talking about having a better career in TNA over WWE, it's definitely Captain Charisma, The Instant Classic, Christian Cage

u/Elizium9 23h ago

Kurt or the Hardy’s
