Impact Wrestling has put together an impressive roster recently, with a lot of great talents helping to make the company one of the most exciting places to watch the product. There's a great mix of young wrestlers and more experienced names, all of which come together to make a strong show overall.
However, a lot of the wrestlers have been around a while, some with Impact and others in various places. Over the past decade, they have changed things up, whether it be with their gimmick or their looks to stay relevant, which is something that the industry demands.
10 Juice Robinson
10 years ago, Juice Robinson found himself working with WWE, as a member of the FCW roster under the name of CJ Parker. This was before him making the move to NXT where he grew out his hair and created some dreadlocks.
However, at that time he was rocking a different hairstyle to what he does now, with his current style being something that has managed to get him over brilliantly as one half of FinnJuice.
9 Eric Young
Eric Young will go down in history as one of the greatest wrestlers in Impact's history. There is nothing that he hasn't done for the company and throughout his career, Young has put a lot of years in, working a variety of gimmicks.
10 years ago he was also signed with Impact, which was then known as TNA. His appearance wasn't too different, only he was not working the same gimmick. At this time he was part of The Band faction, which allowed him to have a slightly different style.
8 Heath

Heath has made a major impact on the wrestling industry throughout the years, especially during his WWE career. Right now, he's putting in some fantastic work with Impact, but 10 years ago is when he was a member of Nexus, at one of the highest points of his career.
He also enjoyed a run feuding with various legends at this time as well. Of course, Heath looked a lot different at this point, with his long hair. But Heath has size bulked up a lot as well, which has changed his appearance.
7 Moose
Nowadays, Moose is one of the biggest stars in the wrestling industry and someone who has made a huge impact for the company, taking them to new heights. It is impressive to see how quickly he has grown and adapted within the industry considering where he came from.
10 years ago, Moose was playing professionally in the NFL, with wrestling not being a consideration. His NFL career was successful and that is something that worked well for him, and now he is enjoying just as much success in wrestling.
6 Brian Myers
Nowadays, Brian Myers can be seen in Impact Wrestling working as the most serious gimmick he ever has. Myers has shined as one of the top talents for the company, and he now wears an eyepatch, which is a unique look.
However, it's very different from what he was doing 10 years ago when he was in a tag team with Tyler Reks. Here, Myers had long hair and a very different gimmick, which brought a complete contrast to what she had done before.
5 Matt Cardona
Much like his former tag team partner and real-life best friend, Matt Cardona was also working in WWE in 2011. This was arguably the greatest year of his career, with Cardona (then Zack Ryder) being at the absolute peak of the industry.
His rise to the top was taking place here with his YouTube channel being incredibly popular. The highlights in his hair and the first pumping gimmick was something that worked for him at the time, but the Deathmatch King is now very different.
4 Sami Callihan
Sami Callihan is now a major name in Impact Wrestling, with his violent style being something that has worked well for him. He feels unique on the product and can be genuinely scary at times, and that was also the case a decade ago.
However, he wasn't quite as polished in terms of his look or in-ring work at the time, which is something he has worked on well over that time. But Sami in 2011 is still fairly recognizable compared to the man that works for Impact today.
3 Tenille Dashwood
Tenille Dashwood was part of WWE in 2011, working in both FCW and then NXT. At the time, she was one of the top women's wrestlers in the company and someone that WWE was firmly behind, although her look was very different from how it is today.
She was a lot more goofy and comedic as a character, and her overall presentation was nowhere near as professional. That's something that comes with time, and it certainly did for her, with Impact reaping the rewards.
2 Mickie James
For as much work as Mickie James has done in WWE over the years, it is her WWE career that took her to a new level. She proved herself in TNA, and that is where she was in 2011, working at the highest point of her career.
She was constantly in the Knockouts Title scene, working with great talent such as Gail Kim. Her look is fairly similar to this day, however, there has been a noticeable gimmick shift, which is expected over time.
1 Karl Anderson

In terms of Karl Anderson's appearance, there isn't much of a difference between him now and in 2011. However, his tag team partner certainly was, although he was still with a big powerhouse, teaming with the man best known as Matt Bloom.
However, the clear change for Karl between then and now is the physical transformation he has gone under. While he wasn't in bad shape in 2011, there's no doubt that he looks a lot better now, which is a credit to his work.
