List Of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Alumni
This is a list of former employees of the professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). On June 19, 2002, TNA was launched and aired weekly pay-per-views without a weekly cable television deal. In the early days of the company, talent often only appeared a couple of times before disappearing, or wrestlers accepted bookings with other companies, resulting in extended absences from TNA. TNA later secured a deal with FOXSportsNet debuting the ongoing series TNA Impact!. After failing to come to terms with Fox, Impact! went on somewhat of a hiatus, only airing episodes over the internet. Putting an end to this hiatus, Spike TV picked up the fledgling company's flagship program, and aired its first episode of Impact! on October 1, 2005. This list is organized alphabetically by the wrestlers' real last names.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“[The sceptic] must acknowledge, if he will acknowledge any thing, that all human life must perish, were his principles to prevail. All discourse, all action would immediately cease, and men remain in a total lethargy, till the necessities of nature, unsatisfied, put an end to their miserable existence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Since civilizing children takes the better part of two decades—some twenty years of nonstop thinking, nurturing, teaching, coaxing, rewarding, forgiving, warning, punishing, sympathizing, apologizing, reminding, and repeating, not to mention deciding what to do when—I now understand that one wrong move is invariably followed by hundreds of opportunities to be wrong again.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
