Former TNA Stars. part five

Kim Neilson debuted in TNA on December 12, 2002 as Every Man's Desire. She was the valet of Sonny Siaki and she feuded with almost every woman on the TNA roster including Trinity, TNA ring girl Athena, and with backstage interviewer Goldylocks.


Did you know that Eddie Fatu wrestled for TNA? Of course you may know him best as Umaga, but on TNA in 2003 he was known as Ekmo. He was put into a tag team with Sonny Siaki.
Did Sonny do everything back then?


Goldylocks was on the TNA roster as a backstage interviewer back in 2003 and 2004. She moved to managing for awhile and with the gimmick of using Abyss in wrestling matches to claim contracts of defeated opponents, she obtained the contracts of Alex Shelley, D-Ray 3000, Shark Boy and yes....Sonny Siaki!


Teddy Hart, a third generation member of the Hart wrestling family, wrestled for TNA in 2003. He wrestled Jonny Storm, Juventud Guerrera, Mr. Águila but amazingly, I found no account of him wrestling Sonny Siaki.
Teddy was released from TNA after getting into it with CM Punk at a restaurant. Sabu had to pull them apart.
Would YOU want Sabu to have to break up a fight you were in?


Ian Richard Hodgkinson is an unlikely name for a wrestler.
Vampiro works much better. And Vampiro had a short run in TNA in 2003.

Several Indy female wrestlers also appeared in TNA back when they were first starting out.

Elizabeth Miklosi (Cheerleader Valentina) appeared with them in 2003. She teamed up with Traci Brooks and Nurse Veronica.

And Veronica Stevens (Nurse Veronica) is better known in the Indy circles as Simply Luscious. She was offered a two year contract with TNA, but turned it down.

The famous April Hunter worked for TNA, appearing on August 28, 2002 at their weekly pay-per-view.

Leilani Kai won the NWA World Women's Championship from Madison on the March 12, 2003 pay-per-view in a dark match. She was later stripped of the title by NWA President Bill Behrens for no showing several matches.

On June 18, 2003, Malia Hosaka competed in a losing effort against Trinity.

Indy star Mercedes Martinez wrestled at least one match for TNA in 2003. Rumor has it that she recently had a tryout match for them again. They should grab her up. TNA has a good rep for using Indy wrestlers and she is one of the best.

ECW, WCW and WWF star Perry Saturn appeared with TNA in March of 2003. He was part of a stable with former ECW stars Sandman and New Jack.

Jaime Lynne, better known as Lollipop, started out as a cage dancer (shades of the WWE!) but later went on to get some wrestling training from Leilani Kai.

Before going to the WWE, Paul London competed in TNA's X-Division. London has said that he viewed his time in TNA as a "stepping stone".

Road Warrior Hawk appeared in TNA in late 2002 and early 2003, but only actually wrestled one match.

Antonio Banks wrestled for TNA in 2003. He was released and he showed up later on the WWE as MVP.

The Insane Clown Posse actually had a fun run on TNA, wrestling matches and hosting and booking TNA's first ever house show in Detroit, Michigan. During their time in TNA, Insane Clown Posse brought the company it's largest paying crowds in history.

Nelson Frazier, Jr.(also known as Mabel, Viscera, Big Daddy V, and King V) made two appearance in TNA back in March of 2003.
