TNA 2015 Success Sheet

A new year has begun and I'm sorry for posting this too late but with the recent changes in TNA I wanted to wait until the smoke was clear to decide my 2015 success sheet for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Which is basically me picking ten wrestlers to succeed and reach new heights and championships by year's end.

The current state of TNA's championships 1/18/2015
1. Taryn Terrell

Terrell winning the TNA Knockouts Championship for the first time
Taryn has seriously improved since entering TNA as a knockouts referee. Her rivalry with Gail Kim and their last knockout standing matches have helped catapulting her into being a mainstay in the TNA knockouts division. Also last year she had another well done match with Gail and she just seems to be improving as the years come and go. Last year she also realized her destiny by winning the TNA Knockouts Championship from the unstoppable Havok, 2015 looks to be a great year for the reigning Knockouts Champion. 

2. Eddie Edwards
Alongside Davey Richards as The Wolves, Eddie is a two time TNA World Tag Team Champion
It was really a hard choice to pick one of The Wolves. They are both great athletes and awesome performers and I love the new super realistic tattoos they have on their chest which at one point I thought was a real scar. I picked Eddie because I just remember Davey having more success and recognition as a singles wrestler than Eddie had. Regardless both are great athletes, its just that I have to pick one

3. Samoa Joe

He recently turned heel and joined the newest faction in TNA, The Beatdown Clan. And destroyed Kurt Angle in the ring. The way it seems, there will be a lot more of "Joe is gonna kill you" chants because the path of destruction that has started doesn't look like its going to stop. Who knows maybe Joe will capture the world title again in 2015. I also loved the way he sang The Beatdown Clan's creed, "I'm gonna whip somebody's ass"

4. The Great Sanada

At first we thought he was just a cross-promotional one hit wonder from Wrestle-1 but apparently he is in TNA to stay. And he is one of the greatest new members of the X-division and joining James Storm's Revolution was just the flavor he needed to add to his wrestling personality. Now he is the entire package a champion should be and my favorite member of The Revolution.

5. Madison Rayne
What's there to say? She is the Killa Queen and every time she has lost a career match or more recently her hair she has came back. 5 TNA Knockouts championship wins isn't a small accomplishment and her feud with Taryn Terrell can spark a great rivalry over the Knockouts Championship.

6. Chris Melendez
Again I was hesitant to put the former army sergeant recently turned wrestler Chris Melelndez on my list. But he has come through and if Mr. Anderson (my third favorite wrestler ever) backs him up, I'll back him up too. Besides he could be the next Zach Gowen but in a company where he may succeed and not have his success crushed by his size.

7. Kenny King

Whoa, another member of The Beatdown Clan is on this list? Yes, yes there is. I've been saying this for years, "The King of The Night" Kenny King is the future of the X-Division but now I take it back. He is the future of TNA, he has every credential and ability to be a main eventer, heck, put both main titles on him and he will carry it like the champ that he is.

8. Lashley

"The Destroyer" is not in The Beatdown Clan? WHAT? Well, it was coming sooner or later, we all know that MVP's ego wasn't gonna take a backseat to Lashley's but Lashley is still the World Heavyweight Champion and he's going to get his belt back one way or the other. He is also a phenomenal performer when he hits the spear.

9. Eric Young

EY is heel? Can he pull it off? That was my response when he hit Bobby Roode with the steel chair at the conclusion of Roode vs Lashley 3. It came outta nowhere but can EY pull off a heel? His match last Saturday proved he can, specially with him hitting the piledriver in the most brutal fashion possible (other than breaking someone's neck of coarse).

10. Magnus

Ever since losing the world title to Eric Young, Magnus has taken sort of a backseat. He had a little thing with Bram but now is mainly featured on Xplosion. That is a waste. He needs to go on the main roster again and join The Revolution or go all lone wolf and take everyone out. I don't know but he looks like a main eventer and needs to be on the main show. Emphasize on "needs to be".

Who do you think will succeed?
