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.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”

“Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)
“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)
“It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“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)
