"I think someone who is, well, someone who has been a star for a while, and I think right now he's in his best era ever, he's in his prime, that is Mustafa Ali," he said.

"And the guy he's working with, Jason Hotch, is just starting to become a star and I think he's going to be a big deal when it's all said and done at TNA.

See so much potential in him." Hotch won the TNA International Championship against Ali in an epic match on "Impact." The two are set for a rematch at Lockdown on Aug.

"Leon Slater is a guy that's there.

He kind of sat underneath myself and Jeff's learning tree.

For 21 years old, he has it in here," Hardy continued.

"So, it's so powerful how much knowledge and how good he is and how aware he is and how he knows what's going on at 21 years old."
