So we all remember TNA. If you don't remember TNA or you need to know that in 2023 it has

become impact and it's been around a long-ass time. I mean everyone talks about WCW total

non-stop action kick that ass when it comes to lengthy reigns. It also met in the early

days randomly. XWWE stars just turned up and go oh hey I'm here now and then usually they totally

vanish. So my friends my name is Simon Watcocher thank you very much for joining me.

That subscribe button for a dose of joy and this is 10 forgotten TNA XWWE stars number 10

Paul Barra. So we start with a doozy because I don't remember this one. I have to go double

and triple check but yeah Paul Barra at least for a little while was on TNA. This is likely because

he was so synonymous with the world wrestling federation and as the undertakers manager

then you actually forget that he did have a career before that. I mean he was Percy Pringle

and then Vince McMahon sort of went oh no you're going to be Paul Barra and it wasn't till I was

like 25 and I was like that's a pun. I was joking it took me a long time. It happened way back when

when TNA at first become a thing and when Paul Barra was taking a break from WWE before he would

return at WrestleMania 20. Yeah he walked out and he was Percy Pringle III. It was sold as a

game changer and serves a cliffhack night to the end of one of their episodes but I think we

mostly did this to try and get some publicity because afterwards well he did nothing I can tell you

about. That's right he came he saw he got some money and he left for the 9 Vader. Fresh off

some big runs in Japan from 1999 to 2002 Vader did indeed debut for TNA got right into the thick of

this. But he was tagging with dusty rows to take on the Harris twins the 34th ever TNA show

that's much bigger than you'd think it would be. Vader was also mad at Vince Russo's sports

entertainment extreme stable which yes stands for sex because it's just the worst idea ever

and after Russo had told Rhodes you got to get a partner well he went and got the mastodon.
