He hardly even wrestles. His main power is in storylines and backstage stuff. His impact is mainly from the mic and age isn't a factor in that. He's supposedly putting Joe over later this year anyway.

Scott Steiner - 45
The guy can still go and is a genius on the mic. Again, he's hardly ever won in TNA and is mostly putting guys over.

Kip James - 44
Why he's mentioned I don't know.

Booker T - 43
Booker T is in TNA to help the young talent. He's already given Roode a big boost and rumour has it he'll be putting over Joe soon. Also, he's still awesome in the ring.

Jeff Jarrett - 41
Hasn't been on TV for an age. Again, why is he on the list?

Kurt Angle - 39
Angle is the only one who you could make a case against. However, TNA need someone to take them mainstream and Angle is the best for that job. He's the biggest name they have so having him on top is the smartest move.

Dustin Rhodes - 39
B.G. James - 38
Why are these two mentioned?

What you don't seem to understand is that the best way to get someone credible is to have them go over name guys. If you asked a casual WWE fan who'd never seen TNA who Joe was they'd shrug. If you then told them he's beaten some of those names listed above, they'd take him seriously and see him as credible. Names like Styles and Daniels won't impress new fans, and with a growing product, that's ultimately what they need. Look at what TNA is doing with the likes of Joe, Styles, Roode and even guys like Lethal and Kaz.
