August 28, 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 the final few folks who will be making their way to the ring in TNA iMPACT!, you're going to need to check IGN Tuesday and Friday of next week.
Ring the damn bell.

Samoa Joe is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion; this means he's pretty f'n good.
A former TNA tag champ and TNA X Division champion, Joe's already ensured that he's going to have a legacy in TNA for a long time to come. Since 1999, Joe's been dropping opponent after opponent in the ring, and he's currently held the TNA title since April 13, 2008. That's nothing to sneeze at.
In video game form, Samoa Joe works well. Aside from looking awesome thanks to iMPACT!'s graphics, Joe's move set makes sense. The champ packs a body slam, backbreaker, and a stiff-looking powerbomb. All these moves are steadily weakening the opponent's spine so by the time you get to dropping the Muscle Buster -- which also looks good -- you've pretty much got the match in hand.
