Once upon a time, The Monster Abyss was supposed to collide with The Undertaker at WrestleMania. While any other Superstar would’ve jumped on that offer, Abyss was different. Even though his employers at the time weren’t the biggest or most popular wrestling promotion, his loyalty didn’t allow him to make the switch to WWE that could have potentially made him a household name.

Nevertheless, it seems like he gained the respect of Vince McMahon. That’s why, after his career with Impact Wrestling folded, McMahon brought Joseph Park (man behind the Abyss character) to the WWE as a backstage producer.

However, the professional wrestling genius of the monster was meant for the camera. Last night on SmackDown, Park made his first ever on-screen appearance for the WWE.

That possibility has been exciting wrestling fans worldwide. Much of the younger generation that watches the WWE product today has grown up with TNA as the closest competitor to McMahon’s monoply. Not surprisingly, they have fond memories of the glory days of the Nashville based promotion.

Abyss was a significant part of TNA’s rise and his battles with the likes of Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles himself are a part of professional wrestling folklore.
