10 stars wasted by Impact Wrestling

#6 Monty Brown

No one was ready for the Sarin Getty

A former American football star who competed in two Superbowls, Monty Brown wrestled for Impact in the very early days of the company, back when they were NWA: TNA, but never officially signed a contract until March 2004.

Monty immediately showed early promise and was given a strong push early on. Dominating competitors with his signature 'Pounce' move, Brown entered the NWA World Title rankings but failed to beat the champion, Jeff Jarrett.

Shortly thereafter, Brown would turn heel, aiding Jarrett in his feuds with Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash. Brown would eventually turn face and once again pursue Jarrett and the NWA Championship, however, plans for a Championship run for Brown came to an end when Christian arrived in the company after departing WWE. Brown once again turned heel and joined Jarrett, and many believe Christian stole Brown's spot.

Monty would leave Impact shortly after his feud with Christian in 2006 and briefly joined WWE under the name Marcus Cor Von, before retiring in late 2007.

Following his retirement, Brown started his own clothing brand and also became a personal trainer in Michigan.
