TNA Ever Treated aStar As Shabby As WWETreated Chris Harris?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I was just thinking about Chris Harris' run as Braden Walker in the WWE. Although some of it was his fault since he got so out of shape it just made Chris Harris look really, really bad to have him disappear from any TV for a long, long time then to bring him back for less than a month, have him wrestle two virtual nobodies than release him. In fact, it made him look so bad that I think it forced TNA's hand in not being able to sign him. After all with all the guff TNA gets for signing WWE guys, signing a recent WWE reject who was treated that bad would make TNA look bush league.

Now, I know TNA does some shitty things behind the scenes like pay guys a low wage and what not, but for anyone at the level of at least Chris Harris they tend to do their best to at least make them look somewhat relevant and give them a push when they're brought in, whether or not the guy even deserves it. But have they ever treated someone as shabby as WWE treated Chris Harris on=camera?

I think you're greatly understating how important Harris showing up completely out of shape was in all this.

They partnered Chavo with Hernandez

NO! This is all WWE's fault! A legend like Chris Harris should have won every title in his 1st night in the company regardless of what kind of shape he was in or how awful the couple matches he had in the company were! Even retired titles should have been brought back just so he could win them! Every night he graces humanity with his divine presence is truly the greatest night in the history of our sport!

Even then, then just don't put him on TV. Keep him in developmental and have him lose the weight that way. Or bring him in as a comedy wrestler similar to Brodus Clay or some other way where his out of shape body can be used as an advantage rather than making all involved look terrible. As I said, Harris is not blameless in this, but bringing in a guy who had a decent amount of steam behind him and making him into a punchline to the point TNA won't even take him back was a pretty crap thing to do on WWE's end.

Pretty shitty thing to do to Hernandez if you ask me.

I actually don't mind Chavo and Hernandez that much. Chavo seems much more motivated with Hernandez especially compared to the end of his WWE run. As for Hernandez I always liked him best with Homicide, but since Homicide is gone from TNA and Hernandez works best as a tag wrestler, pairing him with Chavo made sense.

I feel bad though because ever since the BFG Chavo basically vanished I do like him in the ring and seemed to care more but he hasn't been around in a while so I do hope he is okay

maybe the way TNA treated Trevor Murdock? but he really wasnt in the same atar level as Chris Harris

[Glitch]

Harris was the one who was giving the shabby treatment( to his belly).

well at least he decided to counteract his extending waistline by having his hairline drastically recede.

When he showed up on WWECW, he looked like one of those old Legends who show up on tiny indie shows who you kinda are interested in seeing but just end up feeling depressed afterwards

Wasn't partof his deal that he skipped developmental because he didn't want to be there?

Robbie from the Highlanders. He didn't even wrestle one match!

I don't remember that, but stranger things have happened.

[The Ichi]

The guy showed up from TNA looking like he'd eaten some of the company along the way. He wasn't "mistreated", he was rightly let go.

[rnrk supports BLM]

Hey, Braden Walker was undefeated through his entire WWE career. How many other superstars can say that, huh?

Remember that angle they were doing where Chavo was cheating on Hernandez's behalf that seemed like it was gonna lead to a Chavo heel turn for a feud? Yeah, neither does TNA creative.

100% agreed

Mistreated? He got a 3-disc DVD and a Hall of Fame induction out of it!
