Honestly - I don't TNA has created any stars whatsoever. In my opinion - NONE of TNA's "home grown" talent would barely get a mild crowd reaction at best if even one of them jumped ship to the WWE.

By contrast - guys like Goldberg, Booker T, Scott Steiner, RVD, DDP, etc. all got very respectable crowd reactions upon debuting in the WWE.

Now I realize that TNA shouldn't be compared to the likes of WCW and ECW (since their budget, exposure, etc. is much smaller), but I just *hate* the term 'star' being thrown around irresponsibly.

In my humble opinion - *no* homegrown talent in TNA is a star. Outside of TNA and a few indy circles, no one knows about them or gives a shit about them. Just keeping it real.
