August 15, 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to like Jay Lethal.
Aside from being fun to watch in the ring, aside from having one of the greatest gimmicks in pro wrestling today, and aside from being a two-time X Division Champion -- Black Machismo is a 23-year-old gamer. Nice.
Luckily, Lethal's character in TNA iMPACT! mimics our Savage clone nicely. The character -- clad in his neon, checkered pattern -- is fast and packs moves such as the suplex and the atomic drop. However, the best parts of Lethal pop up with moves on the run. The dude's got a leaping DDT, a head scissors that turns into a side-Russian leg sweep, and the traditional leaping cross body out of the ring. I would've preferred the elbow drop (which is in there if you can get your opponent to stay down long enough) as his finisher instead of the Dragon Suplex he currently has, but that's just splitting hairs.
Black Machismo is cool. Oooooh yeeeeeah!
