July 31, 2008 - For a few years now, the wrestling game business has been a one company show, but Midway will change all of that this September when the men and women from TNA elbow drop their way onto your favorite console. However, it's been hard to get a good look at TNA iMPACT!. IGNers have played the game at events, but we've never had the chance to just sit down and tear this game apart.
Thankfully, TNA-Listers is going to fix that and bring you along for the ride. iMPACT! is now in the office, and we're going to show you every wrestler and every finisher while giving you a little tidbit of how the day's brawler played. Look for updates every day this week, and then look for Monday-Wednesday-Friday features with a few surprises.
Ring the damn bell.

The last time I was a Scott Steiner fan, he was wearing a Michigan jacket.
I don't know, but at some point Scott Steiner turned a corner and went from normal looking professional wrestler to creepy dude wearing chain mail whose skin looks like that of an over-microwaved hot dog.
But, I digress.
The version of Steiner we find in iMPACT is easily the most powerful fighter I've profiled in the short time TNA-Listers has been going. He's got a full nelson belly-to-back suplex, a wicked powerbomb, and a devastating clothesline. His strikes are stiff punches and kicks. So, basically, he's just what you'd expect -- a frickin' powerhouse whose strength lies in bone-crushing moves.
Whether you like him or not, Steiner's definitely fun to use.
Interestingly, the Steiner Recliner is the first submission finisher I've seen in action. The way TNA deals with the final hold is that it gives the opponent three seconds to wiggle the joystick to fill the on-screen meter and break the hold. If they can't do it, they tap.
