10 Wrestling Careers That Were Revived by TNA

#9 Mr. Anderson

Finally became a World Champion

Mr. Kennedy/Anderson was someone who many within WWE, including Vince McMahon himself, looked at as to be the future of WWE, but it wasn't meant to be.

Although Anderson showed The Rock level of mic skills and was a very well round performer, he was unfortunately seemingly prone to injuries, and due to suffering several, all of which were back to back and thus missing a number of months of action, Anderson's stock with the WWE seemed to dwindle.

While Vince McMahon still thought rather highly of him, it was Triple H who reportedly got in Vince's ear, convincing him that Ken wasn't 'the guy'. Anderson was released by WWE in May 2009, after being deemed unsafe to work with in the ring by John Cena and Randy Orton. Even if Anderson had not been fired, it had been over a year since WWE had actually pushed him, and when not injured, he just fell into the background.

After some months on the independent scene, Anderson resurfaced in TNA Wrestling in January 2010, being personally brought into the company by Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster put him over before he debuted as someone who could have a company built around him. During his on and off 6 year run with Impact Wrestling, Anderson would be featured prominently in the main event scene and become a 2 time TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
