10 Biggest signings in TNA history

#1 Kurt Angle

Game changer

The Kurt Angle signing for TNA brought them up to the point of finally being called 'The other company' by many fans. Before Kurt Angle, the biggest signings TNA ever had were Christian Cage, Jeff Hardy (who was already gone by his arrival) and Sting, who was a part-timer.

Angle made his TNA debut on October 19, 2006, and immediately brought an increase to TNA's viewership with him. His signing brought TNA the most media attention they had ever had up to that point and many eyes were on the product to see what would become of Kurt. It was believed by many that Kurt signing with TNA was the clinch for Spike TV increasing Impact to 2 hours long. TNA's viewership always maintained strong viewership throughout 2007 with Kurt being full-time on TV and his merchandise sales were easily outselling everyone else.

Kurt was naturally incredibly successful in TNA, holding most Championships, including becoming a 6 time World Champion. Kurt did just about everything anyone could in the company.

Kurt Angle parted ways with Impact Wrestling in 2016.
