i know right? this guy is an idiot.. hardy was losing flare at the time, he had drug problems his house burned down, the first of which led to his dismissal from wwe in the first place and while jeff isn't the best wrestler he has a massive following, cult-like. signing jeff was arguably the best decision tna ever made, and their worst decision? letting aj go.... regardless though tna was gaining popularity in late 2003, and the signing of jeff in early 2004 pushed them to the top.
Because he was the topface of WWE besides Cena, and although he started good in TNA, he barely did better after his incident, now you can argue that because of the Broken gimmick but the popularity goes more for Matt.
Martin St Clare He turned down a pretty big deal, as well. I think they wanted him to work with Kane and The Undertaker. His recent Decay stuff has been good.
Martin St Clare He deserves so much more , but he couldve joined wwe in 2014 and wouldve been great , but now its not too late , but we have no idea how he is still sticking with TNA lmao
***** He's too loyal. Honestly, his Joseph Parks character was really good because it showed that he could do two types of gimmicks in WWE. I believe Stone Cold said that one time.
I think Hardy's work with immortal (despite my distaste towards the group) was some of his best in his career. At least he had a real character that wasn't "look at me i'm so popular and I used to be considered extreme".
As much as I'm a Hogan fan, i believe he was sent to destroy TNA. TNA was gaining some good momentum at the time & there was a lot of buzz about hogan joining. As part of management, he was given a bit of creative control so he decided to eliminate the octagon/hexagon (whichever it was) & recycle old bits with Bishoff, Sting, Nash & Flair while refusing to assist in putting over guys like matt morgan. I could be full of shit but it seemed like an awful coincidence that he suddenly returned to WWE after TNA fell under the radar.
NO! He is the Roman Reigns of WhatCulture. We don't like him, we don't want him and we will let WhatCulture know that every single fucking time they let this piece of uncultured ass do a voice-over. SO NO!
Mustafa Martin The narrator left out how Booker won the world title but it didn’t count since the ref was napping and Sharmell made the 3 count lol. 🤦♀️
I agree disagree with most of this. TNA's knockout division of 08-11 ish was really good and was years ahead of any 'divas revolution' other companies seem so proud of now
Uh, the list is pretty accurate, but what in the holy hell is Mickie James doing on here? She and Gail Kim WERE the Knockouts division, and they were way better utilized there than in WWE where they were just fed to Trish and Lita. And Mickie wanted to be a country singer, thus the gimmick. Saying she was wasted in TNA is just not true. If you wanted to pick a Knockout who wasn't used well, pick Victoria/Tara, though injuries helped that along.
MistaTwigz Oh, I didn't say she shouldn't be on a TNA wasted talent list, just not one titled 10 Biggest Signings. The list she's on will take at least 3 hours to cover everyone though. Man, have they wasted so much talent.
Daffney is my pick...she was awesome in the ring (and a sweetheart outside of it) and could have EASILY had a few KO title reigns...but the company screwed her over time and again.
I was hoping #1 on this list was going to be Kazuchika Okada. They seriously wasted him. Update: I noticed the title is Big TNA signings, so nevermind. But still, my point still stands haha
Okada was sent to TNA during their talent exchange agreement. He was never signed to a contract with TNA, he was representing NJPW during his time there and was only in the U.S. to gain experience.
@miles claxtion production atleast he had run as tna world tag team champions with hernadez in tna. wwe i remember he was wasted with stuter gimmick jim cornette talks about morgan being wasted in wwe in shoot for who's slamming who podcast.
@j beanie got all those old tna ppv dvds from 2010 when tna was pushing matt morgan vs jeff hardy for tna world title in 2010. he had better run in tna then wwe. wwe had gave him stutter gimmick where he was doing jobs to mexico-cools i enjoy super crazy in ecw juvi psychosis in old wcw. morgan was wasted in wwe. tna he atleast had run tna tag champion with herandez in 2010. push towards tna world title match in 2010.
I think RVD was wasted in TNA. I mean yeah, he got a massive push during the first few months of his run but because of Hogan and Bischoff hogging the spotlight and creative having him vacate the world title, things went downhill for Rob as he eventually got downgraded to mid card status.
Jeff is one of their biggest stars of all time. Hes someone who could go in the TNA Hall of Fame! Bar AJ Styles i dont think there were many wrestlers more recieved their whole time with the company
uh, maybe the TNA warrior mirror angle don't exist because that was fucking WCW. And didn't taker do the same thing? Hogan and Bischoff had a hell of a lot more to do with WCW beating wwf for all those weeks and becoming a powerhouse than they did with it failing. Without them, it would have never been in the position to lose 60 mil
Mainly just people being assholes because 'it's not Simon or Adam' Personally, I find the change in speaking nice. It's somewhat softer and sounds like someone reading off some good knowledge to people.
BROTHER NERO He said 'it's not as much of a money maker as the original Jeff Hardy Babyface run idea could have been' which at the time is completely true. Jeff Hardy had just left the WWE as one of, if not the most popular, baby face on the roster. They'd have made a mint if he'd been a baby face.
***** He doesn't have as much Charisma, but the hate for him is idiotic. He's not bad at all. He's not as Charismatic, but the more you do videos, the better he gets
The problem I have with this video is you guys are complaining when TNA originals are underused and complaining when ex-WWE stars are underused....make up your minds...
i don't get why TNA get's so much hate i mean yeah it hasn't had the best story lines and it's had some pretty shitty ones but so has WWE it's the same with every wrestling company every one is gonna have some bad story lines or wasted talent. also i've watched both WWE and TNA along with other promotions and they both had wasted talent but some of the stuff i've seen in TNA has been enjoyable at least i found it enjoyable
innocent smith The cool thing to do is TNA jokes. Besides that, if it wasn't for 12 year olds liking John Cena's boring promos, unicorn horns, and the E taking all of the talented wrestlers, they'd be a laughing stock.
It's the huge amounts of bad decisions, wasted opportunities and poor treatment of their talent under Dixie Carter that does it. I'm both surprised and happy that TNA are still around.
"not really a big money making act" the Broken Matt Hardy stuff is literally the only reason I've watched TNA in the last decade, as I know it is for a lot of people.
K. Malik Shabazz Austin nah Broken Hardy has been around for a year where they average 300,000 viewers. TNA used to always be over 1 million viewers during a lot of these guys' runs.
You could say Awesome Kong was a waste given that her first stint had an unfortunate abrupt ending (Bubba the Love Sponge), and her second run was killed right as she was given a brand new role leading the Dollhouse (Reby Hardy).
Jeff Hardy becoming The Antichrist was actually one of the best things he ever did. Which makes his relapse at Victory Road all the more disheartening.
With Jeff Hardy being there to get Matt's story over has seriously helped TNA. Only youtube skits, but it all helps the company. even only TH-cam it gets in revenue. personally I wasn't watching TNA because it was poor quality but the Hardy's have done something here. I don't watch WWE these days (I'm a former fan) but I watch TNA now because of the Hardy's. I doubt i'm the only one
A really good moment of Booker T in TNA: Chet Lemon and Black Snow taking over the commentary booth. Elapsed thinking time, 1/2 a second. Sure, it only lasted the one day, but it was absolute gold. No company in history has put on better commentary for a show.
Disclaimer: I paused the video right after he said he couldn't think of anything, and before the screencap of Chet Lemon and Black Snow popped up. Mah bad.
Even though my favourite is Blampied, Andrew, Simon and Jack are pretty good too. King Ross is annoying but thats pretty much him playing character. The only one that lacks personality is Paccitti.
The one person who I DON'T think was wasted in TNA was Scott Steiner. He should've been world champ way more often! He is the embodiment of TNA, dammit. Good list!
I didn't mind Don West either. Sure, when TNA first started, coming right off the death of WCW, I kinda thought 'oh, great, another Mark Madden!' :p But no, Madden was infinitely worse. Don's enthusiasm was kinda fun, and he seemed like a genuinely good guy you could just sit around and shoot the breeze with.
DDP - They did put Page against a younger guy in Monty Brown, who did go over him a couple times. Matt Morgan - First off, he's a "big signing"? Secondly, how was he a mid-carder for most of his run? He got a solid upper-card feud with Abyss (that he won), and after the whole Angle & MEM story was presented as a strong upper midcard and constantly got impressive wins. He also had a feud with Jeff Hardy & Immortal over the World title, which clearly should qualify as a big feud. Taz - What else was there to do with him besides join commentary? He felt awkward and out of place as a manager for Joe (plus Joe didn't need a manager), and there wasn't anyone else on the roster he would fit in with. I can't even see a reason for signing him. Kevin Nash - I didn't even get the point you were trying to make here. But Nash was already past his prime by the time he joined TNA and primarily was used in angles with either bigger names (that could draw in casuals as, like you said, he was popular with them) or younger guys that he put over (Monty Brown again). He had the Paparazzi Productions angle afterwards which helped out the whole X-Division and gave them more focus and personality (and had he not gotten injured, there were plans to have him put over guys like Sabin). After that, he wasn't put in a "boring singles act", he started a story/alliance with Angle & Joe that also gave Joe some desperately needed direction and led to him getting the world title. His matches with Joe had plenty of build-up and I'm not sure how you can say otherwise. Just everything said here is wrong. Mickie James - She was still very over with the cowgirl act, and they did have her give the rub to a few home grown women there. Mick Foley - He really wasn't a "goofy" commissioner, he took the role fairly seriously. You're also completely ignoring his heel turns when they let him run with more of an "insane" gimmick and gave some really entertaining stuff, and when he put over Abyss in a long storyline. Booker T - "It's really hard to think of a really good moment with Booker T in TNA" ...except for his feud with AJ Styles. Outside of that, they gave him plenty of stuff that could have been good if he tried (feuds with Roode & Joe, teaming with Steiner, creating a championship), but like you said, he was mentally checked out. So how did TNA waste him? Jeff Hardy - His first run saw him get a decent push and feuds, but he screwed over himself due to drugs and no-showing events. His second run saw him pushed basically as a god who rarely lost (and pretty much always in some screwy way when he did lose). They then gave him the chance to play a character he was clearly invested in with his heel run, but he screwed over himself again due to drugs and Victory Road. Even after that, they still brought him back (When he should have been fired) and still pushed him like an unbeatable god, got several world title matches with Roode (where they tried to showcase Jeff as being much better) until finally giving him another title run as a face. After getting screwed (because they weren't letting him lose clean obviously), he still got constant screen time until they again let him try his own ideas (Willow) that were awful. Then they stopped Willow but brought his brother in to please him, had them run over the tag division until he screwed that up by injuring his leg. They still pushed him hard, giving him a feud with EC3 when he couldn't even wrestle, until letting him & Matt showcase their Broken stuff and win the titles, killing Decay's momentum in the process. They've given Jeff Hardy literally everything they could. It's not TNA's fault Jeff keeps screwing up. It's only their fault they didn't fire him years ago. Ric Flair - What were they supposed to do with him? He was barely coherent on the mic by 2010, so using him in a manager role was a mistake. Getting him in-ring was a terrible idea, but it arguably could have drawn some interest and make guys like Jay Lethal better. Another one who it was a mistake to sign. Overall, the only person on the list you have any real argument for is Hogan, and that was probably more on him being an egomaniac than TNA's creative. There is plenty of people in TNA who were wasted potential that you could make a list on (D'Angelo Dinero, Young Bucks, Magnus, & Alex Shelley come to mind), but actually present what happened and not spew nonsense just to make the company sound bad.
Oh look. Another hate TNA video. When most of these shouldn't even be on this list. Nash, Booker T, Mickie James, Mick Foley, Jeff Hardy all had great TNA careers and shouldn't be on this list.
DJVm4GOD1 Yeaaa this list is just an excuse to shit on TNA most of these people had great runs...so much so that people for a long time complained that TNA was putting old guys over their homegrown talent too much so yea this list is stupid
Word this video is stupid Nash Booker T Mick Foley Jeff hardy did good in TNA ok Booker T or Nash wasn't World Champion in TNA but the Legends Championship was close to it higher than some intercontinental title The Legends title had Booker T Kevin Nash material the Main Event Mafia was powerful than ever I don't know if it was better than the NWO but it was way better than Evolution they trying to put TNA outta business just like they did WCW why because they know it's far better than the WWE.
Bill Smith Yes! Black Machismo was the fuckin shit! I still have a soft spot for Veda Scott in her Miss Elizabeth role. Jay Lethal is just the man and Nash helped him shine, nothing else to say about it.
I have another one for the list: Nigel McGuinness. Guy comes in from ROH via WWE (He was offered a contract that was then rescinded) and kicks off a great feud with Kurt Angle. Then Hogan and crew arrive and he gets lost in the shuffle, moved down the card and eventually released because he had hepatitis. Bit of a rough break for the guy, he could have been huge.
only because Bellator had most of the contract... they were there because spike wanted to advertise a show that was on like directly after TNA yet TNA had to pay for the pleasure to do so
He doesn't have Adam's humor and impeccable delivery (who does), or Ross' humor or even Simon's ...likeability or whatever the fuck Simon has. It's not b/c Andrew is American it's that he doesn't make me laugh or think. Probably still better than Jack tho...Jack tries way too hard to be funny and fails miserably and draws everything out too much.
Booker and Roode had pretty good chemistry and their angles w/Sharmell and Traci Brooks got surprisingly great heat. I hate Russo angles but theirs was solid. Roode "accidentally" hitting Sharmell was also the precursor to the Jericho/HBK angle the next year
Good video. Not that he had quite the same star power, so I'm not surprised he didn't make the list, but they gave Rhyno a huge push when he started with the company...and then in months later, he wasn't really even a mid-carder, just kind of there when they needed someone in a three- or four-man team clearly meant to be "the ex-ECW guys" or something.
This list didn't make any sense to be honest. The guys who did win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship you said were wasted because they didn't put over younger talent and the guys who put over younger talent you said were wasted because they didn't get a push. Disliked...
yeah but still could have made something out of him look at tanahashi he fought aj and still had great matches, nagata the same thing underused in tna hope they go out of biz so we can see the rise of roh and gfw. plus can't forget abouts chikara.
I actually liked Heel Jeff Hardy and Broken Brother Nero..
Same here! But at the same time, I'm glad that they're back in WWE.
Hardy was big for TNA Wtf are u talking about
Agreed. Brother Nero and Willow and just JEFF. he'll always be awesome (when he's sober/functional)
Besides feuding with Styles, who cared?
It's an Andrew video, what did you expect?
Jeff Hardy IS TNA! (I mean before Matt was broken)
I think it's about his past days before the broken storyline and without counting willow
Clicks on video
Hears Andrew
Continues to watch video like a normal person & not overreact like a fucking maniac
HYDROGALACTIC DUDE I don't get these people. I seriously have no preference over whose talking, it's all the same.
I assume it's because he's american. and not from the UK.
There's no way you can put Jeff on this list and expect people to take it seriously.
A wild Slapnuts appears!
Jeff Hardy? COMPLETELY wasted in TNA? You can't be serious.
i know right? this guy is an idiot.. hardy was losing flare at the time, he had drug problems his house burned down, the first of which led to his dismissal from wwe in the first place and while jeff isn't the best wrestler he has a massive following, cult-like. signing jeff was arguably the best decision tna ever made, and their worst decision? letting aj go.... regardless though tna was gaining popularity in late 2003, and the signing of jeff in early 2004 pushed them to the top.
You have the best point ever. He is my favorite superstar. This guy was one of my favorite youtubers. Now he’s on my least favorite youtubers list.
AlexanderMac99 what does victory road gotta do with his time in TNA? He was on drugs and he was used very well
@Native Sca-Rasta andJeff was indeed wasted on that night, so his name belongs on the list.
@@wolvie1973 ha
TNA is an example of what happens if you put more attention on talent from other companies over home grown talent. *Cough cough WCPW cough*
Brother Nero, I knew you'd come
Right, A completely new indie promotion without their own developmental program should do that. What home grown talent do they have? Adam Blampied?
I mean Simon is training to be a wrestler
Goldbergs son?
David Harding similar to how Vince McMahon is out of touch with reality & cant let go of the past & is a cancer in his own company.
How the fuck is Jeff Hardy on this list? The Hardyz are the only reasons why TNA is still going
Of course, The Hardyz in WWF was the best babyface tag team ever
I grew up with The Hardyz, i broke many bones imitating them haha
Jeff Hardy's original TNA run was bad. This was before he went back to WWE.
He was always the best part of TNA
Because he was the topface of WWE besides Cena, and although he started good in TNA, he barely did better after his incident, now you can argue that because of the Broken gimmick but the popularity goes more for Matt.
Matt only made the Broken gimmick because he was sick of Jeff getting all the attention..i love the Hardyz
its like Andrew is the roman reigns of whatculture. everyone just hates him lol
He's not a good narrator
He's not a bad narrator
He's THE narrator
he got the lyrics right
Purerasslin
He read them as if he was just talking, it's up to us to get the reference.
where are you 2013 lots of people are liking roman
Jack Carr it was more so a joke than anything. I personally like reigns but man those boos whenever he comes out lol
Abyss is a wasted talent. That shit they had him do with Hulk was fucking garbage.
Martin St Clare He turned down a pretty big deal, as well. I think they wanted him to work with Kane and The Undertaker. His recent Decay stuff has been good.
Wow , that match could've been fucking amazing
Martin St Clare He's loyal.
Martin St Clare He deserves so much more , but he couldve joined wwe in 2014 and wouldve been great , but now its not too late , but we have no idea how he is still sticking with TNA lmao
***** He's too loyal. Honestly, his Joseph Parks character was really good because it showed that he could do two types of gimmicks in WWE. I believe Stone Cold said that one time.
I think Hardy's work with immortal (despite my distaste towards the group) was some of his best in his career. At least he had a real character that wasn't "look at me i'm so popular and I used to be considered extreme".
*Cue the people bitching about Andrew*
He isn't that bad, he has gotten better, of course he isn't no Adam or Simon. He is decent though
Kenney Kenner You can defend Andrew all you want, but it does not make him suck any less balls.
can we just be honest with ourselves? he's the worst. jack the jobber is better.
Kenney Kenner not as bad as Kenny though...
cant outcheck the soucek
Kenney Kenner he says teyg match. TEYG. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT JABRONI SHIT
As much as I'm a Hogan fan, i believe he was sent to destroy TNA. TNA was gaining some good momentum at the time & there was a lot of buzz about hogan joining. As part of management, he was given a bit of creative control so he decided to eliminate the octagon/hexagon (whichever it was) & recycle old bits with Bishoff, Sting, Nash & Flair while refusing to assist in putting over guys like matt morgan. I could be full of shit but it seemed like an awful coincidence that he suddenly returned to WWE after TNA fell under the radar.
People say that about his run in WCW as well.
Makes sense.
DaveyLeeRiot TNA is dieing anyway
Junior Sanchez yeah
DaveyLeeRiot didn't we all say the same about WCW?
Moral of the video: TNA screwed Alex Shelley.
Sunday Dreamland poor Shelly
Sunday Dreamland Could have been a massive star. So sad.
Sunday Dreamland Shelly is a douche .-.
Travante Mora
How? I've never seen him act like a douche?
Sunday Dreamland Hes notorious for blowing off kids and refusing to commune with any fans. Hes also known to have a bad attitude back stage.
Jeff hardy was a hill star in TNA wrestling , are you kidding me
Andrew is trying but can we just give him a while to find himself
Rather than just instantly criticising him
NO!
He is the Roman Reigns of WhatCulture.
We don't like him, we don't want him and we will let WhatCulture know that every single fucking time they let this piece of uncultured ass do a voice-over.
SO NO!
Adham Saeid Im sorry you must have this comment section confused with one that isn't full of crybaby bitches
Adham Saeid Yeah I know, wtf is all this hate about. Such picky people, I enjoyed this video, nothing wrong with it
Dmact1000 If you liked this video, you are sad, sad, sad little man.
They're giving you free entertainment
Deal with it
He's not on extra so stop being children
And get a life
Andrew isn't bad, at all. I honestly *don't* get the hate on him.
Fierro pariente He's not British,plain and simple.
Yup, unfortunately that's why.
TheBlueChaos - PlayStation Content thats really discriminatory
Andrew_12 He's not lying though, most people here just don't like him because he doesn't have a British accent. And that's just stupid.
THATBOY VLOGS no Kenny doesn't have a character either and people don't... Oh wait, that's right. FUCK KENNY
Bookers fued with AJ styles was great. His role in the Main Event Mafia was money. He was gone in 2 years anyway and I loved it.
Mustafa Martin The narrator left out how Booker won the world title but it didn’t count since the ref was napping and Sharmell made the 3 count lol. 🤦♀️
I agree disagree with most of this. TNA's knockout division of 08-11 ish was really good and was years ahead of any 'divas revolution' other companies seem so proud of now
When you remember that no matter how good Ric Flair is he stole his character from the original Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers.
Uh, the list is pretty accurate, but what in the holy hell is Mickie James doing on here? She and Gail Kim WERE the Knockouts division, and they were way better utilized there than in WWE where they were just fed to Trish and Lita. And Mickie wanted to be a country singer, thus the gimmick. Saying she was wasted in TNA is just not true. If you wanted to pick a Knockout who wasn't used well, pick Victoria/Tara, though injuries helped that along.
Daffney.
MistaTwigz
I wouldn't call her a big enough star to be on this list. They didn't use her very well though, that is true.
Scott Smart Well I mean they ruined her career with unnecessarily dangerous spots, so I think it evens out.
MistaTwigz
Oh, I didn't say she shouldn't be on a TNA wasted talent list, just not one titled 10 Biggest Signings. The list she's on will take at least 3 hours to cover everyone though. Man, have they wasted so much talent.
An awesome kong
Daffney is my pick...she was awesome in the ring (and a sweetheart outside of it) and could have EASILY had a few KO title reigns...but the company screwed her over time and again.
Michael Burmeister She had a great ass too.
i like her too i thought if someone can play sister abrigil in the wyatt family it be her i think she fits that gimmick well.
Either Daffney or Rosemary could play Sister Abigail.
true dale.i wish death lol.
WWE just hired Crazy Mary Dobson. Perhaps she could be Sister Abigail. It would suit her
I was hoping #1 on this list was going to be Kazuchika Okada. They seriously wasted him.
Update: I noticed the title is Big TNA signings, so nevermind. But still, my point still stands haha
What are you talking about? There were no big plans for him there anyway. NJPW sent him to TNA for development. That's it.
Okada was sent to TNA during their talent exchange agreement. He was never signed to a contract with TNA, he was representing NJPW during his time there and was only in the U.S. to gain experience.
MrDefarr I shat on the carpet. Hope my mom doesn't notice. TNA did nothing for him. That's why NJPW ended their working relationship with TNA.
Macho Man Randy Savage should have been on the list.
he wasted his own time there. by being drunk during his appearance
I could say the same thing with Jeff Hardy being drugged up on Victory Road :P
Randy had nothing left when he went there
If Morgan is considered wasted in TNA, what should we have to say about his WWE run?
The Wrestling Enthusiast TNA use Morgan better than wwe
He was really over when he stood up for Ken Anderson, when they force him to fight with a concussion.
@miles claxtion production atleast he had run as tna world tag team champions with hernadez in tna. wwe i remember he was wasted with stuter gimmick jim cornette talks about morgan being wasted in wwe in shoot for who's slamming who podcast.
@j beanie got all those old tna ppv dvds from 2010 when tna was pushing matt morgan vs jeff hardy for tna world title in 2010. he had better run in tna then wwe. wwe had gave him stutter gimmick where he was doing jobs to mexico-cools i enjoy super crazy in ecw juvi psychosis in old wcw. morgan was wasted in wwe. tna he atleast had run tna tag champion with herandez in 2010. push towards tna world title match in 2010.
Jeff hardy wasn't wasted, TNA gave him the chances he wasted them himself
I think RVD was wasted in TNA. I mean yeah, he got a massive push during the first few months of his run but because of Hogan and Bischoff hogging the spotlight and creative having him vacate the world title, things went downhill for Rob as he eventually got downgraded to mid card status.
Agreed.
He was going to be used to put other guys over regardless, as it should be.
rvd just wanted to go on a vacation as the champ, so they took the belt off him and he never got his spot back.
true
All 3 of their old asses should've been there in the first place
Jeff is one of their biggest stars of all time. Hes someone who could go in the TNA Hall of Fame! Bar AJ Styles i dont think there were many wrestlers more recieved their whole time with the company
uh, maybe the TNA warrior mirror angle don't exist because that was fucking WCW. And didn't taker do the same thing? Hogan and Bischoff had a hell of a lot more to do with WCW beating wwf for all those weeks and becoming a powerhouse than they did with it failing. Without them, it would have never been in the position to lose 60 mil
Stu Pidasso yeah that was the joke. he was saying that TNA just rehashed old wcw storylines.
Yeah but they got so big and didn't do the right things once there like create new talent. They just used it as a gravy train until it was empty.
Is there something wrong with Andrew? Or is the comments just full of kids?
Mainly just people being assholes because 'it's not Simon or Adam' Personally, I find the change in speaking nice. It's somewhat softer and sounds like someone reading off some good knowledge to people.
It's full of Blampied fanboys, Andrew is *NOT* bad, at all. He's good.
BROTHER NERO He said 'it's not as much of a money maker as the original Jeff Hardy Babyface run idea could have been' which at the time is completely true. Jeff Hardy had just left the WWE as one of, if not the most popular, baby face on the roster. They'd have made a mint if he'd been a baby face.
***** He doesn't have as much Charisma, but the hate for him is idiotic. He's not bad at all. He's not as Charismatic, but the more you do videos, the better he gets
***** That's fine. I mean the ones that are blatantly hate filled and not actually critique like yours is
The problem I have with this video is you guys are complaining when TNA originals are underused and complaining when ex-WWE stars are underused....make up your minds...
I hugely respect both Sting and Ric Flair, but that 'who aged worse match' joke was really funny. :D
-Tomko
-Kazuchika Okada
-Hiroshi Tanahashi
-Hogan
-Nigel McGuinness
-Matt Morgan
-Rob Van Dam
-MVP
-Kenny King
-Sean Waltman
*sees title*
*Assumes no 1 is Jeff Hardy at Victory Road*
Adam Miles Nope. It's Ric Flair
"Wasted" get it
Glad to see you guys doing more TNA coverage can you please do 10 Best TNA Matches?
Andrew from what culture.....You just made the list!!!
2:55 that look on Angle's face LOL
i don't get why TNA get's so much hate i mean yeah it hasn't had the best story lines and it's had some pretty shitty ones but so has WWE it's the same with every wrestling company every one is gonna have some bad story lines or wasted talent. also i've watched both WWE and TNA along with other promotions and they both had wasted talent but some of the stuff i've seen in TNA has been enjoyable at least i found it enjoyable
innocent smith The cool thing to do is TNA jokes. Besides that, if it wasn't for 12 year olds liking John Cena's boring promos, unicorn horns, and the E taking all of the talented wrestlers, they'd be a laughing stock.
Yeah I agree wwe is kinda awful now a days
wow
It's the huge amounts of bad decisions, wasted opportunities and poor treatment of their talent under Dixie Carter that does it. I'm both surprised and happy that TNA are still around.
yeah from what i've seen lately from WWE i'd say TNA is better and seems to be trying to improve
"As a 2 year version of No Holds Barred" That made me laugh...
"not really a big money making act" the Broken Matt Hardy stuff is literally the only reason I've watched TNA in the last decade, as I know it is for a lot of people.
K. Malik Shabazz Austin nah Broken Hardy has been around for a year where they average 300,000 viewers. TNA used to always be over 1 million viewers during a lot of these guys' runs.
0:39
woohoo! Andrew's first good joke! really nice to see him improving on the mic.
You could say Awesome Kong was a waste given that her first stint had an unfortunate abrupt ending (Bubba the Love Sponge), and her second run was killed right as she was given a brand new role leading the Dollhouse (Reby Hardy).
Jeff Hardy becoming The Antichrist was actually one of the best things he ever did. Which makes his relapse at Victory Road all the more disheartening.

Oh. No hate. It's all love, baby.
With Jeff Hardy being there to get Matt's story over has seriously helped TNA. Only youtube skits, but it all helps the company. even only TH-cam it gets in revenue. personally I wasn't watching TNA because it was poor quality but the Hardy's have done something here. I don't watch WWE these days (I'm a former fan) but I watch TNA now because of the Hardy's. I doubt i'm the only one
what the heck jeff hardy was awesome in tna
Jessie Brown not in hiz las 3 yearz
I really like Jeff Hardy’s willow character. It was very entertaining and Jeff looked like he was enjoying the character
most probably because he developed the character himself and if im not mistaken he tried it but outside tna.
Ahhhh the youtube comment section never fails to bring me my daily dose of stupid repetitive and cringeworty comments
Didn't even realize DDP had ever been in TNA. That alone makes him the #1 waste by TNA in my book...
We can pretty much say this title about 90% of all talent ever signed by TNA... :)
CEWIIH You're joking right? Half the current WWE/NXT roster is former TNA talent...
Agree, this may be the defining problem with TNA, however, WWE has it too now.
for some reason the only thing I really remember about booker t in TNA is him destroying Xavier Woods (then consequences creed) in a stretcher match
I guess you can say these wrestlers didn't make an IMPACT to TNA .badumm tsssst.
A really good moment of Booker T in TNA: Chet Lemon and Black Snow taking over the commentary booth. Elapsed thinking time, 1/2 a second.
Sure, it only lasted the one day, but it was absolute gold. No company in history has put on better commentary for a show.
Disclaimer: I paused the video right after he said he couldn't think of anything, and before the screencap of Chet Lemon and Black Snow popped up. Mah bad.
That moment when u take a big sigh because Adam blampied's voice doesn't come on
Correction: Because Andrew's voice comes on
A sigh of relief you mean.
i prefer simon he is best talent what culture.
I don't care how much they paid Ric Flair, it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT FOR THAT JAY LETHAL SEGMENT
Agree with most, certainly not the Jeff hardy one though.
This might be unpopular opinion I think TNA did better with Jeff hardy than wwe did
Even though my favourite is Blampied, Andrew, Simon and Jack are pretty good too. King Ross is annoying but thats pretty much him playing character. The only one that lacks personality is Paccitti.
I found the mirror clip, poor job in fact checking.
I saw the amount of dislikes and I immediately assumed it was Andrew 😂
Me too, and unfortunately I was right
lool
Top 10 completely wasted Whatculture signings.. No.1 Andrew..
savage
DDP was TNA champ briefly, in between multi episode one day tapings and a PPV. He defended the belt at a NWA house show in Lake Charles,LA early '05.
The one person who I DON'T think was wasted in TNA was Scott Steiner. He should've been world champ way more often! He is the embodiment of TNA, dammit.
Good list!
I didn't mind Don West either. Sure, when TNA first started, coming right off the death of WCW, I kinda thought 'oh, great, another Mark Madden!' :p But no, Madden was infinitely worse. Don's enthusiasm was kinda fun, and he seemed like a genuinely good guy you could just sit around and shoot the breeze with.
The Broken Universe isn't a money making idea?
Are you dense?
I agree the broken universe was an awesome idea
DDP - They did put Page against a younger guy in Monty Brown, who did go over him a couple times.
Matt Morgan - First off, he's a "big signing"? Secondly, how was he a mid-carder for most of his run? He got a solid upper-card feud with Abyss (that he won), and after the whole Angle & MEM story was presented as a strong upper midcard and constantly got impressive wins. He also had a feud with Jeff Hardy & Immortal over the World title, which clearly should qualify as a big feud.
Taz - What else was there to do with him besides join commentary? He felt awkward and out of place as a manager for Joe (plus Joe didn't need a manager), and there wasn't anyone else on the roster he would fit in with. I can't even see a reason for signing him.
Kevin Nash - I didn't even get the point you were trying to make here. But Nash was already past his prime by the time he joined TNA and primarily was used in angles with either bigger names (that could draw in casuals as, like you said, he was popular with them) or younger guys that he put over (Monty Brown again). He had the Paparazzi Productions angle afterwards which helped out the whole X-Division and gave them more focus and personality (and had he not gotten injured, there were plans to have him put over guys like Sabin). After that, he wasn't put in a "boring singles act", he started a story/alliance with Angle & Joe that also gave Joe some desperately needed direction and led to him getting the world title. His matches with Joe had plenty of build-up and I'm not sure how you can say otherwise. Just everything said here is wrong.
Mickie James - She was still very over with the cowgirl act, and they did have her give the rub to a few home grown women there.
Mick Foley - He really wasn't a "goofy" commissioner, he took the role fairly seriously. You're also completely ignoring his heel turns when they let him run with more of an "insane" gimmick and gave some really entertaining stuff, and when he put over Abyss in a long storyline.
Booker T - "It's really hard to think of a really good moment with Booker T in TNA" ...except for his feud with AJ Styles. Outside of that, they gave him plenty of stuff that could have been good if he tried (feuds with Roode & Joe, teaming with Steiner, creating a championship), but like you said, he was mentally checked out. So how did TNA waste him?
Jeff Hardy - His first run saw him get a decent push and feuds, but he screwed over himself due to drugs and no-showing events. His second run saw him pushed basically as a god who rarely lost (and pretty much always in some screwy way when he did lose). They then gave him the chance to play a character he was clearly invested in with his heel run, but he screwed over himself again due to drugs and Victory Road. Even after that, they still brought him back (When he should have been fired) and still pushed him like an unbeatable god, got several world title matches with Roode (where they tried to showcase Jeff as being much better) until finally giving him another title run as a face. After getting screwed (because they weren't letting him lose clean obviously), he still got constant screen time until they again let him try his own ideas (Willow) that were awful. Then they stopped Willow but brought his brother in to please him, had them run over the tag division until he screwed that up by injuring his leg. They still pushed him hard, giving him a feud with EC3 when he couldn't even wrestle, until letting him & Matt showcase their Broken stuff and win the titles, killing Decay's momentum in the process. They've given Jeff Hardy literally everything they could. It's not TNA's fault Jeff keeps screwing up. It's only their fault they didn't fire him years ago.
Ric Flair - What were they supposed to do with him? He was barely coherent on the mic by 2010, so using him in a manager role was a mistake. Getting him in-ring was a terrible idea, but it arguably could have drawn some interest and make guys like Jay Lethal better. Another one who it was a mistake to sign.
Overall, the only person on the list you have any real argument for is Hogan, and that was probably more on him being an egomaniac than TNA's creative. There is plenty of people in TNA who were wasted potential that you could make a list on (D'Angelo Dinero, Young Bucks, Magnus, & Alex Shelley come to mind), but actually present what happened and not spew nonsense just to make the company sound bad.
Stephanie Summers Thank you the TNA bashing is so stupid
Oh look. Another hate TNA video. When most of these shouldn't even be on this list. Nash, Booker T, Mickie James, Mick Foley, Jeff Hardy all had great TNA careers and shouldn't be on this list.
DJVm4GOD1 Yeaaa this list is just an excuse to shit on TNA most of these people had great runs...so much so that people for a long time complained that TNA was putting old guys over their homegrown talent too much so yea this list is stupid
Word this video is stupid Nash Booker T Mick Foley Jeff hardy did good in TNA ok Booker T or Nash wasn't World Champion in TNA but the Legends Championship was close to it higher than some intercontinental title The Legends title had Booker T Kevin Nash material the Main Event Mafia was powerful than ever I don't know if it was better than the NWO but it was way better than Evolution they trying to put TNA outta business just like they did WCW why because they know it's far better than the WWE.
to be honest. that Ric Flair and Jay lethal promo was hilarious. One of the greatest promos ever
Who else is going to look up "TNA ultimate warrior mirror" after this video?
6:20 - "Management didn't give him anything really exciting to do". Shows Chet Lemon and Black Snow about a minute later.
Heel Mickey James was great.
1996 - 2001 were the best years of professional wrestling. That time will never return, fortunately I am old enough and lived back then.
Bullcrap. Without Nash, we would never have those magnificent Jay Lethal impressions.
Bill Smith Yes! Black Machismo was the fuckin shit! I still have a soft spot for Veda Scott in her Miss Elizabeth role. Jay Lethal is just the man and Nash helped him shine, nothing else to say about it.
I have another one for the list: Nigel McGuinness. Guy comes in from ROH via WWE (He was offered a contract that was then rescinded) and kicks off a great feud with Kurt Angle. Then Hogan and crew arrive and he gets lost in the shuffle, moved down the card and eventually released because he had hepatitis. Bit of a rough break for the guy, he could have been huge.
Rampage Jackson and King Mo should have been on the list.
Yeah, them over Jeff Hardy.
I don't think they're anywhere near as expensive as the others on this list
only because Bellator had most of the contract... they were there because spike wanted to advertise a show that was on like directly after TNA yet TNA had to pay for the pleasure to do so
what about Tito Ortiz the August 1 Warning that was perhaps the biggest letdown in tna.
Jeff Hardy has been a World Champion in TNA, Jackson and Mo didn't wrestle a single match to my knowledge.
As someone who stutters, just gotta say you can never lose a stutter but you can learn to control it
Andrew is WhatCulture's worst narrator
It's because he's American isn't it?
I'm sure people like to point to that, but I think it's because his opinions are stupid.
Simon is underrated
He doesn't have Adam's humor and impeccable delivery (who does), or Ross' humor or even Simon's ...likeability or whatever the fuck Simon has. It's not b/c Andrew is American it's that he doesn't make me laugh or think. Probably still better than Jack tho...Jack tries way too hard to be funny and fails miserably and draws everything out too much.
Foley vs ric flair match in tna was incredible
you missed Chyna, Macho Man, and CM Punk...
Trump Plaza cm punk was there?
@@TJzWayyy yep around late 2002 to early 2003
i forgot this was even WhatCulture 😂😂
Hardy was big for TNA I disagree.
flair vs Foley on an episode of impact was bloody as hell, and one of the most memorable things I think both flair and Foley did there in TNA.
There's no logical reason to hate Andrew.
Two words for why all of them floundered: VINCE RUSSO. He's the one thing that they ALL have in common
Matt Morgan....Big Signing.....how are these used in the same sentence?
Booker and Roode had pretty good chemistry and their angles w/Sharmell and Traci Brooks got surprisingly great heat. I hate Russo angles but theirs was solid. Roode "accidentally" hitting Sharmell was also the precursor to the Jericho/HBK angle the next year
sounds like you Wikipedia searched these guys and read off that .
actually a pretty solid list with well explained reasons. well done Andrew!
Actually Andrew is not bad. I like him. It really is the Roman Reigns of Whatculture. I feel sorry for him.
Geill Jin so true
And I like roman. He just deserves better treatment from the fans
Matt Morgan seriously could of been big in TNA
6:58 Jeff was so stoned rocks were softer than him
BROTHER NERO probably pills
jeff hardy was not a waste the sportster I agree with you a lot but this time I did not
Seth Rollins fan who is the sportster
Good video. Not that he had quite the same star power, so I'm not surprised he didn't make the list, but they gave Rhyno a huge push when he started with the company...and then in months later, he wasn't really even a mid-carder, just kind of there when they needed someone in a three- or four-man team clearly meant to be "the ex-ECW guys" or something.
Wow a guy at WhatCulture that isn't British.
Kevin Luper suprise they made him sound like a numpty with at least half the shit he said.
Best Andrew video so far. Well done sir.
I rather have no commentary than have andrew
They didn't waste Jeff Hardy, he wasted himself. I can never understand the people who support that guy.
This list didn't make any sense to be honest. The guys who did win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship you said were wasted because they didn't put over younger talent and the guys who put over younger talent you said were wasted because they didn't get a push. Disliked...
i agree
this guy is getting better.
whatculture really doesn't like TNA
not all of them
i can agree to that
Taz's claim to fame isn't being the human suplex machine. It's being an Oompa Loompa in Botchamania.
where is okada kazukchika he was only featured in one good match against alex shelley never to be seen again. plus where is rikishi or scott hall.
Sleaze Crew Okada was there for a talent trade. That's why.
yeah but still could have made something out of him look at tanahashi he fought aj and still had great matches, nagata the same thing underused in tna hope they go out of biz so we can see the rise of roh and gfw. plus can't forget abouts chikara.
"The Broken Universe is goofy fun, but not really a big, moneymaking act."
Oh Andrew, you naive soul.
