In a world of spandex clad muscle men and women, some of them sporting outlandish masks and wild tattoos, it can be easy to overlook a plain seeming fellow like Ed Nordholm.

He may not be flashy, or have the strut of a Vince McMahon, but Ed Nordholm is one of the biggest players in the pro wrestling business today.

This is by virtue of his position with Anthem Media Group. As the executive Vice President, one of his duties is to oversee Impact Wrestling.

If you're wondering where the buck stops in Impact wrestling after the departure of founder Jeff Jarrett and former main owner Dixie Carter, look no further than Ed Nordholm.

Influence he's had on the pro wrestling industry: Ed Nordholm was the one who gave Matt Hardy permission to create and use his Broken character, which not only revitalized Hardy's career but also sent ripples across sports entertainment.
