I can praise TNA all I want, but there is no doubt that they misuse some of their workers. Lots of them actually have talent, the sad part is most of them end up quitting because they know they have no future with the company and they'll probably end up being a mid-carder for life. Here are a few examples of this:
Jimmy Rave: He was impressive in ROH, but instead, TNA stuck him in a tag team with Lance Rock and all they do is job every week. Why don't they just break this team up or give them a serious gimmick so they can really show of their talent? And I said their because...
Lance "Rock": Lance Hoyt is talented too. I think he has a unique wrestling style, he isn't just another big man like we usually see in WWE. Hoyt brings an innovative offensive style and I think he deserves a good push. His gimmick makes him look like a joke.
The Motor City Machine Guns: Shelley and Sabin are being de-pushed because they don't want to blade which is fine...but...that was 8 months ago. Don't you think its time to forgive and forget? The Guns are awesome, and its not because they can do a bunch of flips. They actually work as one cohesive unit, something a lot of tag teams seem to forget. TNA needs to give them a second chance, and let them get a good push in the tag team division. Or at the very least, break them up and push both as singles competitors.
Christopher "Curry Man" Daniels: Enough! I have had enough of the Curry Man gimmick! I'm not asking to give Daniels an 11 month title reign, but please, bring back the Fallen Angel. I loved Curry Man for the first 2-4 months that we saw him but now the gimmick is old. I feel bad for Daniels, he can cut a great promo and he can go in the ring yet he never really got a chance in the main event.
Johnny Devine: Yes, its outdated. But still, I really liked Johnny Devine as a wrestler and I think its a shame that they let him go. The X-Division needs more wrestlers, all they needed to do was give Devine a better gimmick, or at least give him some kind of character, and he would have been good. His role as Team 3D's associate was ok up until he just randomly came out to help them in matches, but was nowhere to be found when 3D came out on iMPACT! every week for a match or promo.
Kaz: I have only this to say. The Suicide gimmick = epic fail. Bring back Kaz and let him kick some ass in the X-Division again
Raisha Saeed: Its not that Saeed isn't getting a push, its just that her gimmick is absolutely horrible. She can't do an arab accent to save her life, its actually embarrassing to watch. TNA needs to take that stupid burka off her and let her come out as Cheerleader Melissa.
The Beautiful People: They are pimped all over iMPACT! but they seem to never win. If you aren't going to push them, then save some TV time for people that you actually intend to push.
Kevin Nash: Get him out of the ring, give Don West his own little "Deal of the day" web show, and have Nash replace West as color commentator. Nash has the voice for it, and he's funny. He could add a lot to the on air presentation and it would be much better than seeing him bore me to death in the ring
So there are a few guys/girls that I feel can be used better in TNA. I think the product as a whole has been hot lately, and I've definitely enjoyed it. There is still room for improvement however, and the perfect way to do that is try and utilize your talent better. I hope TNA does this to at least one or two of the people I listed above in the near future.
What do you guys think? Do you have anyone to add/take away from my list?
