TNA Wrestling Wanted to Sign WWE Hall of Famer For On-Air Authority Role

While TNA Wrestling officials orignally wanted former WWE Champion Alberto del Rio to debut on last Wednesday's IMPACT Wrestling premiere on Destination America, a report from PWInsider.com notes that Del Rio wasn't the only former WWE name that the company wanted to appear on television.

The report notes that the company wanted WWE Hall of Famer Edge, who had just appeared on WWE the week prior to appear on their product as the new TNA authority figure as Kurt Angle would be returning to active competition, however Edge and TNA Wrestling didn't make it to serious negotiations and never discussed money.

The report states that the situation was the company putting out feelers, which Edge didn't respond on and that he won't be joining the promotion.
