Top 5 TNA Wrestlers All Time?

In random order:
- Kurt Angle
- AJ Styles
- Christian
- Christopher Daniels
- Jerry Lynn

Edit: Initially i picked Desmond Wolf as #5, but decided to replace him with Jerry Lynn, while Desmond is an amazing talent, only his first 4 months were memorable enough.

Its a tough question as it depends how you look at it. If it wasn't for the likes of Sting, Jeff Jarrett and the other various big names TNA wouldn't be where it is today. Then you have the likes of Daniels, Joe, AJ, Abyss and Sabin who have stuck around and provide the best matches but without the bigger names would they have been able to take TNA to the next level, I'm not so sure. So I guess Kurt Angle probably is the best of both worlds

1) AJ Styles = Without a doubt. The guy that was there from the beginning and through the highs and lows was a top class performer.

2) Jeff Jarrett = Doesn't always get enough credit, but not only is Jeff a very solid worker, but he helped establish the company, both in front of and behind the camera.

3) James Storm = Best tag team wrestler in the company's history and a hell of a singles wrestler when given the chance.

4) Bobby Roode = Old school in the best sense of the word. He is just a great classic heel with an in ring style & presence that is timeless.

5) Kurt Angle = For all the Ex-WWE/WCW/ECW guys that come in, you could accuse a good number of them of half assing it in TNA. Kurt Angle? Not a chance. Say what you will about him, but the guy gives his all.

On what ranking? Overall impact and legacy in TNA?

1. AJ Styles
2. Kurt Angle
3. Jeff Jarrett
4. Samoa Joe
5. Sting

Actual in-ring work? Too tough to call.

1. Kurt Angle
2. Christian
3. Austin Aries
4. AJ Styles
5. Robert Roode

1) AJ Styles
2) Samoa Joe
3) Kurt Angle
4) Bobby Roode
5) Austin Aries

1. AJ Styles
2. Samoa Joe
3. Christopher Daniels

Those 3 stand above the rest, imo. They've been there for a long time, and seldom do they do bad matches.

Also great, in no particular order:
Robert Roode (can't ask for a better heel, except for the one below perhaps)
Bully Ray (possibly the best heel in recent history)
Christian Cage (basically the only heavyweight wrestler I miss)
Sting (Declining, but still deserves respect)
Kurt Angle (Not a huge Angle-fan, but can't argue with his work)
A bunch of X-division guys, Amazing Red, Petey Williams to name 2
Austin Aries (If he had been in TNA longer, would probably make it into the numbered wrestler at the top)

But as for doing a top 5, hell, that's hard. So I refuse

I think a top 10 is probably easier

1. AJ Styles - Self explanatory really. Best TNA homegrown star and has been involved in some of my favourite matches in wrestling history.

2. Kurt Angle - From bursting onto the scene and having his feud with Joe to the end of MEM, Angle was TNA's focal point. He pulled it off perfectly. He's been involved in some of TNA's highest profile feuds and made for some great television. He's also played his part in elevating the younger talent extremely well.

3. Samoa Joe - Don't think many can doubt his undefeated streak was a great angle. He's had some epic matches over the years; kind of a shame he tailed off after losing the title in 2008 though I think that's as much his fault as it was TNAs.

4. Bobby Roode - Best and longest World Championship reign in company history. The guy plays the role of the franchise player absolutely perfectly. Add that to the fact that he was part of arguably the best tag team in TNA history and you have yourself an easy number 4.

5. Sting - I think a lot of the IWC don't like giving Sting credit for what he's done but I for one love having him about. Say what you want about him hogging the spotlight but he's definitely helped pave the way for younger talent and given TNA much needed exposure. He's also been in some of TNA's more interesting feuds with the likes of Angle and Hogan.

6. James Storm - Beer Money and AMW were 2 exceptional tag teams and I don't know many wrestlers who can say they were part of 2 teams of that calibre. He helped build the tag division and it definitely suffered once he moved into singles competition.

7. Jeff Jarrett - Founded the company and gave the heavyweight division credibility at a time when it desperately needed it. Without him at the time TNA would have been essentially solely reliant on the X Division.

8. Bully Ray - Team 3D were a great addition to the tag division and we got to see them in some good matches/feuds. However, it's remarkable how much he's shone as a singles wrestler. I remember when he split with Devon he said "I'm the Shawn Michaels and you're the Marty Janetty of this group..." I didn't actually think it'd turn out to be true!

9. Christopher Daniels - X Division stallwart who waned a bit around 2008-12 but he's come back better than ever and is part of the best tag team going today. I think it'd be a shame if he ended his career without a World Title reign.

10. Chris Sabin - X Division pioneer who competed in the first ever Ultimate X. He was one of TNA's best highfliers before his 2 injuries. MCMG were my personal favourite tag team; they had incredible chemistry together. I do think putting the World Title on him was a bit undeserved but nonetheless on his accomplishments prior, Sabin's my number 10.

Honourable mentions: Austin Aries, Chris Harris, Raven, Jerry Lynn, Christian Cage, Abyss

In terms of greatest catalog of matches.

It's the trifecta of AJ, Daniels and Joe
I'd then have Lynn, with a tossup between Abyss, Christian, Roode, Sabin and Angle for that last spot.

1 Aj styles
2 Kurt Angle
3 Jeff jarrett
4 Samoa Joe
5 Raven
