^^ Sting's career is divided between WCW and TNA, you cannot deny that. Abyss was a creation of TNA. Jarrett created TNA. Gail Kim and Kurt Angle's career's hit their highlights while being in TNA.

You cannot always use the argument " Ex WWE guy " because if a wrestler is lucky, most wrestlers wont turn down a chance to wrestle for WWE. So whetever we like it or not, most pro wrestlers with a bit of fame will be ex WWE wrestlers at some point.
