Jordynne Grace isn’t just one of TNA’s biggest stars—she’s also got strong opinions on who deserves a spot on the company’s Mount Rushmore. As she moves into a new chapter in her career, she took a moment to show love to the legends who paved the way.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Grace listed her top four men’s stars in TNA history—and her final pick is bound to spark debate.
“AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, I really want to say Amazing Red. He’s so underrated and was such an innovator at the time. He represented guys you didn’t normally see being represented on TV before,” she said. Then, she dropped a name no one expected: Joe Hendry.
“I know there are going to be so many people who don’t agree with this, but he has brought so much attention to TNA lately, and I’m going to say Joe Hendry,” Grace explained. “I feel like people who have never seen wrestling before, they know Joe Hendry, and they know TNA because of Joe Hendry.”
She didn’t stop there. Grace also gave her TNA Knockouts Mount Rushmore, a list she admitted was tough to narrow down.
“Knockouts is a little bit easier. Gail Kim, obviously. Awesome Kong, of course. I’m going to offend someone, I know I am. I really want to say Mickie, but I also feel like she has so much WWE in her. It’s almost mixed. Can I count The Beautiful People as a single entity? I’ll count The Beautiful People as one,” she said.
Her final pick? A name that doesn’t always get the recognition she deserves: Hamada.
“Just because I love how she wrestled and she is also someone who doesn’t get enough name recognition, Hamada. I saw her wrestle a match and I have never seen a woman at the time do what she was doing.”
At the end of the day, Jordynne Grace’s TNA Mount Rushmore picks are bound to stir up some serious debate—but that’s what makes wrestling history so fun to argue about. From AJ Styles to Joe Hendry, Gail Kim to Hamada, Grace’s list mixes legends with game-changers, proving that TNA’s legacy is still being written. But did she nail it, or is she way off?
