Number 3: Austin Aries
He could quite possibly be “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.” Austin Aries came out of nowhere to steal all of the spotlight in TNA in 2012. After being an incredible X-Division Champion, his popularity went through the roof. Aries dropped the X-Division title to get a chance at being the main man for TNA. He would defeat and dethrone Bobby Roode, something nobody else did for close to 9 months. When you talk about the best matches of 2012, Aries was involved in many of them. He had classic bouts against Bobby Roode and Jeff Hardy. Many will ask why he is much higher than them, and the reason is simple. Austin Aries is the most complete wrestler in TNA. He is athletic, unique, strong, quick witted, and never seems to stop getting better. He always seems to impress me with what he says, how he says it, and how he delivers. Aries is simply the best TNA has to offer.
