Number 3: Jeff Hardy: January 4, 2010
The most popular WWE superstar in 2009 was Jeff Hardy. When he re-debuted in TNA, it was the biggest move in quite some time for the company. They received an established but still fresh star in Hardy, one with a cult like following. This move was huge for TNA at the time, as many thought would get them the one star that could boost their ratings. Even though he has embarassed himself, this was a HUGE acquisition for the growing company. He has had success, but has been sidelined with too many distractions.
