August 4, 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 except for Thursday. Plus, look for the first two brawlers to be in Japan and the last two to be in Mexico.
Ring the damn bell.

No, he's not Mankind … or Kane.
If you're just getting on the TNA bandwagon, those comparisons are understandable, but if you've been watching for awhile, you've seen Abyss decimate the federation on his way to world title wins and the tag team championship. He's powerful and intimidating.
For the most part, that doesn't seem to be reflected in TNA iMPACT!. With standard grapple moves such as the body slam and hip toss mixed with the traditional ground attack of elbow to the head or super-clothesline out of a strong grapple, Abyss comes off as a pretty generic, overweight man in leather pants. I never really felt like my time as the big guy was anything other than ordinary.
