Worst gimmick in TNA today

[Rollermacka]

Who do you think as the worst gimmick in TNA today?

[Bad Company]

I made a thread about that black macho guy a while ago, he is the fucking man in the ring, but the gimmick is balls. He's better than that.

[Destor]

tough poll

[Destor]

I went with Rock 'n Rave because Jimmy Rave sucks.

[Inadequacy]

I voted Sharkboy, but I should have voted for Black reign

[BigDaddyCool]

They are all so awful, but Kurt Angle's is pretty bad.

[Inadequacy]

I don't see why Curryman is there, he's delicious

[Theo Dious]

Come on. Runells' bullshit is far worse than Sharkboy, which at least SUPPOSED to be awful.

[The Genius]

it was tough. i dont know who i hate more, lance hoyt or blackreign.

[Destor]

answer: Jimmy Rave

[Gerard]

Should bring in a midget wrestler whos gimmick is he likes to slide on his face.

:rofl:

[Xero]

Tom Brady: Janitor

You know it's coming.

[Heros Welcome]

I voted Sharkboy because it is such a blatant ripoff. But I mean everyone on that list is deserves a vote, other than Lethal.

I mean every time I see Jimmy Rave on my TV I feel like taking a bat to the screen.

[Destor]

You dont support Curry Man?

[owenbrown]

Where's the Don West/Mike Tenay option? :shifty:

[Mr. JL]

I voted RocknRave or whatever. They both fucking suck.

At least Lethal & Sharky are imitating ppl the fans will reconize and shit. And well, Dustin banged Terri so I'm not going to call his gimmick the gayest thing in TNA.

[FourFifty]

How about the ring itself? Or the bookers?

[ron the dial]

lol curry man is in tna?

[Heros Welcome]

You dont support Curry Man?

I forgot CURRYMAN was on there! I fully support him.

[Dorkchop]

As much as I don't like a lot of TNA's shitty gimmicks, my vote goes for Black Reign. I hate Rock and Rave, but right now I don't mind them on my tv because I want to see their asses get kicked (I still think they shouldn't have jobs in TNA). Where as Black Reign is just terrible and I really can't stand it at all. Not to mention he's feuding with Kaz, and Kaz is ridiculously bland.

[Dorkchop]

Rellik, that's Killer spelled backwards.

[Destor]

similar to Lance hoyt I dont understand how Kaz is over.

I believe that is probably the main reason.

[Destor]

Daniels deserves the props for that though

[Destor]

But still with the spot marks of iMPACT zone you're probably right

[Heros Welcome]

Daniels deserves the props for that though

Fully agreee with that statement. I was shocked Daniels would take that/trust Kaz in a spot like that.

[The Optimist]

Jay Lethal's Macho Man is pretty funny. Call me crazy, but I enjoy it and pretty much always have. It's way too forced sometime, but that happens in wrestling.

Sharkboy in general and the Austin impression in particular are again, funny to me. It needs to happen less, maybe once a month or two, but I like it every now and then or when they can come up with a good reason for a Stone Cold impression.

I haven't seen Rellik, but I hear it sucks noodles, which I find extremely dissappointing because some sources have said that it was based on elements of the Great Muda's gimmick. Additionally, Black Reign is boring and stupid. I know they're trying to make a Goldust-esque atmosphere-BUT DIFFERENT. They failed pretty bad. Funny that WWF had more grace with a situation than any other promotion, but failing in new and creative ways is sort of TNA's schtick now.

Never seen Rock & Rave together, but neither one is really notable. I could care less.

Curryman is hot when he's Christopher Daniels. A holdover from lulsy Japanese gimmicks, but really it comes down to Daniels can do whatever he wants.

[Xero]

I believe that is probably the main reason.

Jesus Christ...

[Heros Welcome]

Jesus Christ...

What?

[Chavo Classic]

When did they start having Ultimate X matches are ungodly heights like that!?

Well from what I know is that Rellik is Johnny the Bull's evil character. It is said that yes he did base it off of the Great Muda's gimmick which is why they have similar masks. I just dont see how he can be a "monster" that hasn't won a match yet. :shifty: I guess the curryman thing wont be too bad because they arent showing him every week. Still, to take a great X division wrestler like Daniels and make him a joke I dont like it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Hold up. Daniels is indeed the man for taking that bump, but Kaz had to work it, too. Plus, if you are going to buy into the illusion of wrestling at all, you generally give the guy hitting a big move credit for you. Just throwing it out there.

Kaz is a TNA wrestler (he did have a cup of tea...almost literally in the WWE, but he was a TNA guy first), with some solid skills to him. I've really enjoyed most of his work, and compared to most of the old hacks in TNA, that makes him outstanding.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Gerard, you are owning this thread.

[Mr. Nerfect]

As for which gimmick is the worst, I don't actually think any of them are particularly bad. Here me out:

Shark Boy and Jay Lethal do their impersonations well. Is it stupid? I don't know, it got Lethal pretty over and two runs with the TNA X-Division Championship. We'll see what happens with Shark Boy. It is meant to be stupid, though, so I think people are taking it way too seriously.

Rellik is a good character, I think, it's just been treated like crap by TNA. Why even bring him in if you're going to have him lose every match say bar one? Stupid, stupid, but the whole darkened serial killer thing isn't that bad.

The idea behind Black Reign itself is not bad. A second generation wrestler obsessed with death wearing silver and black paint and pretty much being insane and creepy? I've seen far worse. Dustin Rhodes just needs to hang it up.

The Rock 'n' Rave Infection are not nearly as bad as everyone makes out. Not an outstanding team, but capable of having good matches. With a gimmick, at least they have something to explain why they are together.

Curry Man is HOT! SPICY! And TASTES GREAT! He is one of the best things in the history of the universe ever.

If I had to choose the worst gimmick I could think of for TNA, it would be The Voodoo Kin Mafia. "Hey, let's insult the WWE by letting them know they're doing the same shit by doing the shame shtick we did almost ten years ago! We can even call ourselves something that doesn't even make sense, but has the initials of Vince McMahon's full name! He's going to shit himself!"

I'm sorry, but none of the gimmicks listed even come close to being as annoying as that. Also, Jim Cornette is playing a pretty annoying character. Is he even in control of his own show? Are we even meant to like him? I don't know. And Samoa Joe's new character is pretty horrible, although it did start off with promise. Why is he still with Kevin Nash? Didn't he hate Nash?

Speaking of Kevin Nash, the man is hilarious, but his current character is pretty stupid. I mean, what is it he does? He pretty much admitted to sitting around doing nothing. Now, as I said, Nash is hilarious, but can't he actually have a reason to exist?

And Sting got to be a really shitty character recently.

[Dave Youell]

Ok, who the fucks nominated Curry Man?

WHO?

And Black Reign is terrible, if that character was given to someone who was in shape and wasn't a former shadow of themselves, then maybe it would be better
