August 11, 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 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week. Plus, the grapplers will be battling in Vegas through Friday. Vegas, baby!
Ring the damn bell.

It still seems strange to call LAX former tag team champions.
A week ago, Hernandez and Homicide were on top of the TNA tag team scene thanks to brutal moves such as the Gringo Killer and a win at all costs attitude. However, Beer Money Inc. stepped up at Hard Justice and put an end to the tag team title reign of LAX.
Sigh, at least the Latin American Xchange can continue to dominate here on TNA-Listers.
In TNA iMPACT!, Hernandez feels like a powerhouse. He's got some of the same videogame moves we've seen before -- backbreaker, chokeslam, hip toss -- but he also makes use of a piledriver, Gorilla Press toss, and the vicious Border Toss. For the big, bulky tank top-wearer, the moves feel good. Meanwhile, Homicide is the speedy balance to Hernandez's power. Sadly, Homicide's moves are pretty much all things other TNA-Listers have pulled off -- Death Valley Driver, head scissors takedown, hurricanrana, etc. -- but the difference between each partner's style actually makes for an enjoyable switch when you tag the illegal player in. Plus, the Gringo Killer is sweet.
