It's time for the weekly Top 20 rankings. This is a comprehensive list that considers in-ring talent, promo skills and ability to get a crowd reaction.
- Samoa Joe - Welcome back! He has become a monster dedicated to destroying his enemies as quickly and as violently as possible. Although he hasn't said anything since his return, he lets his actions in the ring do all the talking. He is by far the best in TNA right now.
- AJ Styles - Arguably one of the most innovative and exciting in-ring wrestlers in the business. He lost the titles last week, but he continues to carry every match he is in. Love him or hate him, AJ Styles is phenomenal!
- Rob Van Dam - Thank god "Mr. TNA" Rob Van Dam has returned to wrestling. His promos are fantastic and he shows no signs of ring rust. He has hit TNA like a storm and should stay on top for quite a while.
- Robert Roode - This guy has really come on and separated himself from Beer Money. His promo skills are extremely strong and his in-ring ability has begun to separate itself from Beer Money and the rest of the TNA roster. He deserves a serious individual push immediately!
- Kurt Angle - Angle should go down as the best wrestler of all-time. He makes every single opponent look very good. Without Angle, Mr. Anderson would not have received near the push he has. Angle is great. He will be missed during his brief time away.
- Jeff Hardy - His promos are below average and borderline incoherent. Hardy's swanton bomb should make every wrestler cringe because he is one move away from seriously breaking someone's ribs, or his own back. He is #6 because the crowd loves him, but he won't be here for long.
- Amazing Red - If he was three inches taller and 25 pounds heavier, Amazing Red would be a better AJ Styles. We need to see his microphone skills, but his in-ring talent is unquestionably the best in the X-Division.
- Mr. Anderson - His microphone skills are unmatched. His wrestling skills are adequate enough to keep the audience entertained. His non-wrestling actions make him extremely fun to watch and hate.
- Rob Terry - Terry is a man of little words. "The Freak" is sometimes exciting to watch. He definitely needs good opponents to sell his moves as we saw two weeks ago on iMPACT! He may not be ready for headlining just yet, but he definitely is fun to watch.
- Matt Morgan - His in-ring talent has always been very strong. The promos he has been cutting lately are awful. He needs a new storyline IMMEDIATELY. Morgan will continue to move down this list until things improve.
- Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) - These guys have not been seen for the last couple of weeks, but they are undoubtedly the best tag team in professional wrestling. Charisma, high flying tenacity and technically sound maneuvers make this the best tag team in wrestling.
- Shannon Moore - The book of D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. has not led Shannon Moore astray. His moves are exciting. He may look scary, but TNA loves scary. He fits right in here.
- Douglas Williams - It doesn't matter if he is X-Division champion or not. He has had some of the best X-Division matches with the exciting high flying stars since late January. His promos are strong and he riles the crowd like a foreigner should. He deserves a continued push in the X-Division.
- Kazarian - Ever since his return to TNA, he has constantly delivered strong matches. His microphone skills are questionable, but he is able to work with any opponent and deliver a good match.
- Angelina Love - Recent news and rumors show that Love is seriously injured and may miss in-ring time. Her feud with Tara is the best feud in women's wrestling.
- Desmond Wolfe - Wolfe cuts very strong promos and has consistent in-ring skills. He plays his roll very well in all story lines. TNA needs to decide how they want to use him now that the Style/Wolfe duo is over. He deserves a serious push.
- Tara - Tara is a seasoned veteran who has been in two of the best women's feuds in professional wrestling over the last two months. Her feud with Daffney was exciting and really raised the bar of the Knockout division. Now, Angelina Love and Tara are set to begin a heated feud that may not end until both women are seriously injured.
- The Pope D'Angelo Dinero - The Pope is a fan favorite. His ring skills are not very strong and his promos ramble. He got a raw deal in his match against AJ Styles in the way that it ended, but he is not headliner material.
- Daffney - Daffney was on a roll in her feud with Tara. The matches between these two TNA Knockouts were some of the best women's matches in quite a long time. Daffney, Tara and Angelina Love have put the Knockouts on the map of women's wrestling since the era of Awesome Kong.
- Ric Flair - Sure there are several young stars and strong veterans, but nobody gets such a heated reaction from the crowd like Ric Flair. He could have made this list simply by losing several gallons of blood over the last month. He may have lost his ring, but he is the true embodiment of Hall of Fame.
Notables - Generation Me, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Hernandez, Eric Young, Daniels
