Jordynne Grace isnt just one of TNAs biggest starsshes also got strong opinions on who deserves a spot on the companys 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 mens stars in TNA historyand her final pick is bound to spark debate.
AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, I really want to say Amazing Red. Hes so underrated and was such an innovator at the time. He represented guys you didnt 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 dont agree with this, but he has brought so much attention to TNA lately, and Im 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 didnt 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. Im 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. Its almost mixed. Can I count The Beautiful People as a single entity? Ill count The Beautiful People as one, she said.
Her final pick? A name that doesnt always get the recognition she deserves: Hamada.
Just because I love how she wrestled and she is also someone who doesnt 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 Graces TNA Mount Rushmore picks are bound to stir up some serious debatebut thats what makes wrestling history so fun to argue about. From AJ Styles to Joe Hendry, Gail Kim to Hamada, Graces list mixes legends with game-changers, proving that TNAs legacy is still being written. But did she nail it, or is she way off?
