August 21, 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, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week as the TNA-Lister battle it out in the game's armory venue and across the pond in England.
Ring the damn bell.

Goddamn, I love Team 3D.
I remember the first time I saw Brother Ray and Brother Devon kicking the crap out of people in Philadelphia while wearing tie-dye; I fell in love with them at first sight. If you caught a match with these two, you were treated to brutality, fan interaction, a cast of screwed-up characters, and a general sense of not knowing what the hell they were going to do. I watched the team capture ECW, WWE, and TNA gold, and I've never gotten tired of their gimmick.
Anyone willing to powerbomb elderly women is OK in my book.
Team 3D translates really well into TNA iMPACT!. As I stated on TNA-Listers before, making characters in this game feel like they should comes down to picking and choosing the right moves to fit the style you'd expect the characters to have. Brother Ray's got a body slam that looks like the stiff scoop he does in real life; when his opponent's down, there's a Ray elbow to the head that looks good; Devon's got a nice neckbreaker and the belly-to-belly suplex is a nice choice for him.
