August 25, 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. Believe it or not, fans, we're into the final two weeks of our look at the roster. If you want to see everyone who will be making their way to the ring in TNA iMPACT!, you're going to need to check IGN Monday, Tuesday, and Friday of this week and Tuesday and Friday of next.
Ring the damn bell.

Without Jeff Jarrett, there'd be no TNA.
Don't get me wrong, lots of people started and continue to keep the federation going, but as co-founder of the organization, Jarrett brought notoriety and talent when he helped start the federation. Before he was helping to establish TNA, Jarrett was all over the place in a career that has spanned more than 20 years. He took on the independents and won gold, debuted in the WWE as a country singer with a passion for clocking people with guitars, won the WCW championship a handful of times, and then co-founded TNA and led the roster as its champion on a few occasions.
In the videogame, Jarrett's legacy doesn't seem to have been done justice. Sure, like most of the TNA roster, he looks great, but his moves are pretty average and seemingly obsessed with testicle shots. In the build of the game I'm playing, there's an atomic drop, low blow from the grapple, and the crotch stomp when the opponent's on the ground. Jarrett's also got a jawbreaker, suplex, knee to the elbow, and back body drop.
Thankfully, the Stroke is here and looks awesome. Jarrett spins around, grabs the opponent's head, jaws a bit, slams him down, rolls into the pin, and then does his patented strut after the win. Nice.
