The answer to this question can be gleaned from a very simple test. Find a hundred random wrestling fans on the street and ask them if they recognize the following names:
AJ Styles
Monty Brown
Ron Killings
Steven Richards
Bottom line: I'd be more than willing to bet that more people saw Steven Richards get eliminated from the Battle Royal a few weeks ago than ever saw the other three in a TNA main event, maybe even put together.
I'm sure Richards' biggest dream in life wasn't to be the most recognized undercard wrestler on Raw, but there really isn't much opportunity to ascend elsewhere. As a big fan of his, if I thought for a second he could become a legendary star somewhere else, I'd be all for it, but I can certainly see how someone would take any job in WWE over WCW2... erm I mean TNA.
