TNA Impact Wrestling Power Rankings: Impact Needs a Bully

The Aces and Eights continue to wreak havoc on TNA, but the faces of the company continue to fight back. Check out our Impact Wrestling Power Rankings to see who came out with the most to smile about this week.

5: Mr. Anderson: Huge win against Gunner. His beating on Kid Kash after the match was impressive too. But after the biker gang took him out, when the former World Heavyweight Champion will be back in action remains a mystery.

4: Sting: He’s still fiery. He can still go into “showtime” mode when he has to. His tag match with Bully Ray against the Aces and Eights will be interesting. The veteran can still wrestle too, so expect a damn good fight.

3: Tara: Her win over Brooke Tessmacher in tag action proves she’s still got it. The best worker in the Knockouts division, it’s time she got her due.

2: Samoa Joe: The TV title looks better on him than it did on Devon. With a big win over RVD, it appears Joe will be the holder for the belt for a good long time.

1: Bully Ray: One of the most decorated tag team wrestler in wrestling history, Ray has been extremely solid as a singles performer for over a year now in TNA. He deserves this push. He’s making the most out of it, even if the semantic fans in the Impact Zone don’t get it. This isn’t a face turn, it’s simply Ray being allowed to be himself on camera. This is his big chance to be taken serious in the company by fans who see him as more of a mid-carder than the talented performer he is.
