After attending my first ever professional wrestling event, which happened to be TNA Slammiversary, some thoughts of what TNA says and what TNA does popped into my mind. It really seems that TNA likes to contradict itself on a constant basis.
TNA loves to tout its “homegrown” stars’ horns, notably AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniels, etc.
However, what do the “homegrown” stars have to look forward to?
There have been four world-title holders since it became the TNA World Heavyweight Championship on June 17th, 2007. The four champions are Mick Foley, Sting, Samoa Joe, and the newly re-crowned champ, Kurt Angle. Out of the four champs, only Mick Foley has held the belt for a shorter amount of time than Samoa Joe.
When it was the NWA world title, the last “homegrown” star to have it was Abyss in November of 2006, holding the belt for 56 days, and AJ Styles in May of 2005 for 35 days. Rhino (for only two days, according to Wikipedia), Raven, Christian Cage, Jeff Jarrett, Sting, and Kurt Angle, are the others who held the NWA belt since AJ held it.
No love for the “homegrown” stars in the heavyweight division.
