Cedric Alexander believes TNA Wrestling has one of the strongest rosters in the business today, and he thinks the biggest problem isn’t talent—it’s visibility.
During a recent appearance on The Wrestling Classic podcast, the reigning X-Division Champion was asked whether he feels TNA’s roster is among the most underrated in professional wrestling. Alexander didn’t hesitate with his answer.
“100%. All we need is the eyes. I feel like there’s a lot of great talent there that just just needs to be seen. And if you don’t believe me, look at what, you know, NXT has done with bringing in Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace, you know, talents from TNA. And if you want to go back further than that, you know, Styles, Samoa Joe, you know, Christian Cage was another guy who was a part of TNA for a good long time and and and and built a huge name. Kurt Angle was in the was in was in TNA a lot longer than he was in WWE. So, to me, Kurt Angle is more of a TNA guy through and through.”
Alexander pointed to both current and former TNA stars as proof that the company has consistently produced top-level talent. From AJ Styles and Samoa Joe becoming industry icons to Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace gaining exposure on WWE programming, he sees a pattern that has existed for years.
The discussion then turned to TNA’s long-standing influence on the wrestling business. The interviewer noted that he grew up watching TNA and felt the company often carried stacked rosters that never received the recognition they deserved. He suggested that future generations may eventually look back at TNA the same way many fans now look back at WCW. Alexander clearly agreed with that assessment.
“Ah, there you go. Yeah.”
TNA has spent more than two decades creating stars, introducing concepts that influenced the industry, and giving performers a platform to develop into major attractions. As Alexander sees it, the company’s current roster is continuing that tradition and simply needs more viewers to discover what it has to offer.
