10 stars wasted by Impact Wrestling

#7 Tomko

What is it with Impact's bad use of bodyguards?

The former 'problem solver' for Christian in WWE, (Tyson) Tomko emerged from the crowd on the November 23th edition of Impact, aiding Christian Cage during a match with Sting. Reprising his role as Christian's problem solver for a number of months, Tomko would form a tag team with AJ Styles 2007, and the two men would go on to enjoy a six-month reign as World Tag Team Champions.

Following the demise of the team, it appeared Tomko was in line for a top babyface push, following tension between him and his new leader Kurt Angle. Tomko would pin Angle in a singles match which ignited the live audience. However, hopes of a babyface Tomko in the main event were quickly dashed when he assisted Angle in retaining the Impact World Championship over Christian at Impact's Genisis pay-per-view.

It was later revealed that Vince Russo had booked this finish just out of shock value and had no real plans for Tomko as a top face or heel.

After a brief feud with Christian, Tomko fell into the background and quit the company shortly thereafter due to being unhappy with his position. After a failed attempt to return to WWE, he returned to Impact Wrestling, only to be featured in an even smaller role, and he left the company once again in early 2010.
