So I Watched 3 Minutes of Impact

- Now then, you've turned Storm heel have you...I dunno how TNA fucked up their first real homegrown star in Storm but the man has the chops to pull off the bad guy routine.

- Gunner has something about him. I like how he 'hulks up'.

- Magnus sells rather dramatically. Not all bad though.



But all in all I wanna start keeping up with TNA again; not so much because of the Storm heel turn (coz I loved his schtick 2 years back), but because of reasons 2 & 3.

Gunner is pretty cool now.

Still trying hard to give a shit about Magnus, but I'm getting there.

Also, there's another reason to check out TNA:

Don't forget Bad Influence, Spud, Aries and others

I saw this vignette and Hardy is making noises (like literally) I thought couldn't come out of him.

Wonder what the wife does to him for him to make such noises

You know this is almost making me kind of wonder if there is a mandate for the heels to sell in a more dramatic fashion.

I too have noticed that Magnus's selling has drawn my attention as being more exaggerated lately. Spud also sells in an enhanced manner, which makes sense given his size and the character he's portraying.

But most notably I also wanted to point out the Bro-Mans/Zema trio. Robbie has always sold in a comedically over-the-top manner that works for his character, but I have noticed an upturn in how dramatically Zema and Jesse have been selling as well. In fact Jesse's selling has overtaken Robbie's as the most egregious flopping around on the roster(we'll call Jesse's recent selling displays Ziggler-esque). I actually like it for this little heel group and I think it fits their personas, how we should view them, and the story being sold.

Still on the fence about the Willow thing. It is nice to see something new though, just not sure how it will go.


Also if you are not paying attention to Bad Influence, you should be. Stellar stuff with those two.

Daniels smug stuff made me a fan from Day One. I love that cats mic work.

Last show was actually nice for possible new viewers. I enjoyed it. The match between The Wolves and Bad Influence deserve a solid 15 to 20 minute in the future. Magnus needs to stay away from Dixie to really thrive on and in all honesty I've always preferred him as a babyface - mostly because I look at him and I remember Roode as the World Champion and it's not even close.

Gail Kim is also badass!

He is 43, so for a guy to be that good in the ring isn't bad, either.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

To be honest and I know he is a smooth operator in the ring, he is a better promo and was the saving grace (if there was one) in that Claire/AJ shitfest.


I dug the shit out of what he was doing early on with Kaz and AJ.
