TNA Attempts to Sign Major WWE Hall of Fame Name as the New Authority Figure on Impact Wrestling

By Nick Paglino

EdgeAs we noted last week, TNA made a big money offer to former WWE star Alberto Del Rio, as they wanted him to appear on the live Impact Wrestling debut on Destination America.

When that deal did not work out, PWInsider.com reports TNA reached out to WWE Hall of Famer Edge, who appeared on WWE TV just one week before.

The talks between Edge and TNA were said never to be serious, as the two sides did not discuss money or anything of that nature. The situation was described more as TNA putting out the feelers, and “the fish didn’t bite.”

TNA reportedly wanted Edge to fill the position of the on-air authority figure of Impact Wrestling, as Kurt Angle recently quit the position and returned to in-ring competition.
