5 non-wrestlers that TNA wasted a lot of money on

#2 Rampage Jackson & Tito Ortiz

Samoa Joe was thankful this wasn't a 6 man tag

Two for the price of one with this entry. Bellator MMA fighter and actor Rampage Jackson made his TNA debut on the 6 June 2013 episode of Impact Wrestling. Two days earlier, it was announced Jackson had signed a multi-year deal with the partnership of Spike TV, Bellator MMA and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and was eager for a career in wrestling. Rampage quickly joined the New main Event Mafia in their feud with the Aces and Eights. In an interview with The Fight Nerd in 2014, Jackson stated that he was done with TNA after he saw their operations and how "they ran things," and he had no plans to go back.

'The Huntington Beach Bad Boy' Tito Ortiz was no stranger to TNA fans by 2013, having previously been a special enforcer during big NWA World Title matches in 2005. Tito returned to TNA on 1 August 2013, revealing himself as the man behind cryptic teasers that had been airing every week. Ortiz joined the Aces and Eights faction in order to build up hype for his upcoming fight with Rampage at Bellator 106, which would later be cancelled. Ortiz departed Impact shortly thereafter, but unlike Rampage, said he would like to return again one day.
