1. Chris Sabin
Remember the guy who came back from a knee injury, won the TNA World Title, turned heel, then disappeared off the face of the earth? Yeah, he got chopped by the budget ax. But if there’s $400k floating around and a need for star power, there’s no reason not to resign your former world champion, who had been with the company for the better part of a decade. You don’t need to make him a top star, but having him back immediately adds another top contender to both the world and X-division title pictures.
The Upside: Your crowd not only knows him, but they love him. He’ll have good matches, and can cut an effective-enough promo. He can always be your sympathetic, underdog babyface in a way hat guys like Eric Young just can’t.
The Risk: Sabin is another guy with a bum knee. At this point in his career, it may be a bit of a challenge to keep him healthy. Use him sparingly, and use him right, and this won’t be as big of a risk as it sounds.
