5 Professional wrestlers who failed in both WWE and TNA

#3 Orlando Jordan

Jordan’s career hasn’t given him much to smile about

Remember this guy? Debuting way back in 2003, Orlando Jordan made a name for himself when he worked as part of JBL’s cabinet as Chief of Staff and that was actually a pretty good angle. But unfortunately, that would be as good as it got for Jordan. He won the US title off of John Cena, which is pretty big despite the fact that the Cenation leader was an upstart back then.

Despite winning the United States Championship, there was no coming back from the four losses he suffered at the hands of Chris Benoit – all in under a minute. He was gone from the company soon after this.

He would then enjoy an indy scene run where he had the honour of being the last opponent to face Ultimate Warrior. His indy success led to him earning a contract with TNA. Big mistake accepting that contract, Orlando.

He was at the company for less than two years and it was a disaster with the company using his bisexuality to build a supremely offensive gimmick where he harassed wrestlers left right and centre.
