#5 Jeff Jarrett
If it wasn't for Jeff Jarrett, we wouldn't even have Impact Wrestling. Jeff and father Jerry Jarrett founded the then TNA in 2002, and quickly aligned it with the NWA.

With most big performers in the world in 2002 either working for WWE or not interested in working at all, TNA's main event scene was limited pretty early on, so ol' double J, always having a bit of a high opinion of himself, decided to build the company around himself. In the first 4 years of TNA's existence, Jeff was a 6 time NWA World Champion, which included holding it for just a few weeks shy of one full year at one point, a company title record.

Despite Jeff's ego playing a prominent role here, Jeff still gave a number of great performances before, during and after his 6 Championship reigns to make it on this list. Jeff has had many great matches with the like of AJ Styles, Sting, Jeff Hardy, Christian Cage and many more, and had one of the all-time best feuds in company history with Kurt Angle.
Despite founding the company, as of 2015, Jeff has no longer any ties or stock in the company, after agreeing to be bought out and inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. And as of 2018, he is a proud member of the WWE Hall of Fame.
