    Everyone in the X-Division is better in the ring than anyone the WWE has right now. The only weak side to the X-Division guys in the ring is the lack of psychology, which is more the fault of TNA booking than the guys in the ring. Hardly any of the X-D guys have the mic skills to be stars in TNA let alone WWE though.

    Abyss is easily the most talented big guy in the business right now. He doesn't have to work the stick because of his gimmick and in the ring there isn't a big guy who can hang with him.

    Anyone not biased by one brand or the other should easily acknowledge that TNA has the best ring talent, but the worst mic talent. Hardly anyone in TNA has the attributes needed to be a superstar, which sadly rarely ever includes ring skills.

    Of the pure TNA guys Samoa Joe is the one who, if he was inclined to goto WWE, would take over the world of wrestling. AJ Styles has the ring ability, but not the mic skills. Daniels has the ring skills and just barely has the mic skill to make the mid-card in WWE.

    On the flip side someone like Shelton Benjamin has the ring skills to compete at a high level in the TNA X-Division but just the mic skills to be in the mid-card on WWE.

    In reality the two companies attract two different kinds of talent. TNA has just tried to push WWE-style talent lately and done a horrible job of it.

    AJ Styles rated number 1 wrestling in 2006? By who? Please, I like the guy and appreciate his athletics but don't kid yourself.

    One look at this topic's title and I knew TNA would be mentioned within 10 words. Ugh, just ugh.

    Oh and out of flamesoffurry's list, the only guy on that list who is better right now (not in the past, but right now) than Samoa Joe is HHH, and that is only based on looking at the total package.

    On a scale of 1-10:
    Ring Ability:
    Joe 8
    HHH 3

    Mic:
    Joe 5
    HHH 8

    Acting:
    Joe 4
    HHH 8

    But I believe if he was put in WWE and given the big push, Joe could become the next Rock. He doesn't have the same charismatic talent the Rock had, but he has the ring skills Rocky never had.

    Ok, no way. Triple H is NOT a 3 in ring skills. He is so much better than Samoa Joe.

    As for your other post, the x-division people are better than the cruiserweights, granted, but they aren't better than ANYONE in the wwe like you said. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Edge are just three people who destroy the x-division people.

    Kane is so much better than Abyss. Whenever Kane fights, it is always entertaining (although better when he had his mask). Abyss is a bore to watch, and he isn't that great of an in ring performer.

    As for Samoa Joe, I don't think WWE would push him as much as you think they would. He would have come from TNA, being a big star there, and I can't see WWE pushing someone made by the competition. I mean, look at Booker. He came from WCW how long ago, and, even though he is main event quality, has only had one world title reign in the wwe (after being forced to pick up the worst gimmick ever to get it).

    You have a stong TNA bias it seems, but that doesn't mean you can say that everyone has to agree they have better talent. Cause they don't.

    Okay, i'm not as big a TNA fan as WWE but I have to say Booker is an appauling wrestler, someone like Styles would carry him through a match however TNA hasn't got the up and comming stars that WWE has, look at Jonny Nitro, Kenny Dykstra, Burke and Kennedy TNA had that back when it became mainstream with Daniels, Styles and Sabin but truthfully which superstars have TNA got that started with them and are being pushed??

    You honestly think HBK is better in the ring than Samoa Joe? You've only seen his TNA matches then.

    I've seen Joe vs Punk 1. I haven't watched 2 or 3 yet...I keep forgetting. He's good, but, he's not the best.

    they don't need talent. Most of the new fans don't know the different between the Sharshooter and Scorpian deathlock. All they care about is being entertained by gimmicks and storylines. WWE won't be getting mor talented guys or using the ones they have until the fans, the majority of them, start demanding it.

    Agreed - Abyss is the only guy in TNA who could really make it and thats cos of his size and ability to contest compelling brawls. AJ does have some mike skills as a heel but he's too small to be taken seriously in WWE - he'd probably get a token run with the Cruiserweight belt and be forced to tone down his ring style.
