Just under half of the guys are former WWE Talent. You also have Sting who is a former WCW guy and the rest are TNA guys.

If you want, you can even take Bully Ray out of the "WWE Pile" and place him with the TNA guys, as before heading to TNA, you couldn't really imagine him being a world champion and even though I don't watch TNA, I have heard that Bully Ray in TNA has been nothing but top notch. Before heading to TNA, all the WWE guys that would later become TNA Champion were established main eventers but Bully Ray wasn't as such. From what I hear and read, he is now.

You also have to remember that one of the best title runs (again, from what I've heard) was Bobby Roode's, a TNA guy. He was champion for almost a year and then he lost it to Austin Aries, another TNA guy.

So I personally wouldn't say that they don't care about them.
I know Kurt Angle made his name in the WWE (and the Olympics) but I don't see why he can't be considered a TNA guy at this point. He's been with them since late 2006, and has devoted a lot of his time to this company and put on numerous classics with them. Sting is another one that could easily be considered a TNA guy at this point since WCW hasn't even been around for the last dozen years. Plus, those two are wrestling legends, what's wrong with them holding your top prize? The only "WWE guy" that I'd have a legit gripe about for holding that belt is Mick Foley, and that's only because of how old he was at that point. But again, he's a wrestling legend, it's not that bad. If Hulk Hogan can win the WWE Undisputed title in 2002, why can't these guys carry the TNA strap on?
