The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Why the hell is TNA giving everyone a stupid gimmick/makeover?! Because every other X Divsion wrestler based post online consists of the words "personality" and "no", so I can only suppose they're trying to do something about it.... Not that I think they're nessessarilly doing a good job with it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Seems like GenNext is going the 80's route, what with Shelley's new 'do making him look like a lost member of The Cure. At the Ring of Honor show that I went to in Dayton, OH (1/27/06) the crowd actually chanted "Flock of Seagulls" at Shelley. I thought it was pretty funny. They chanted something else first but I can't remember what it was because it wasn't as funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Tenay called it a mix of Adonis and Ventura and I agree. And I also agree with him that it's a weird combination I thought I'd never see. Rarely do you see an old tag team mixed together into one man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Did you idiots complaining about the gimmick actually watch Impact? It's supposed to be silly. Aries mentioned during the backstage interview that TNA officials told them to go out and get personality, and Aries took that as being told to get a new outfit.

David Blazenwing 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Austin Aries is a hometown guy (I'm also from Milwaukee) so I'm loving seeing him on Impact every week. And the guy can kick ass too!

LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Austin Aries is a hometown guy (I'm also from Milwaukee) so I'm loving seeing him on Impact every week. I had the same feeling when watching Mikey Batts. And then...puff...he just disappeared. I don't think the same will happen to Aries, though. A lot of people have said he'll be main eventing TNA by 2007. I think that's a stretch, but I could easily see him being in Chris Daniels' or AJ's TNA positions by then.

Yet TNA, for some reason, continues to show Mikey Batts getting "Pounced" by Monty Brown in the Impact intro even though Batts is no longer with the company.

thuganomics 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I actually like the strange little push TNA is giving their "Generation Next" unit. It's strange but it works, at least with Aries & Shelley. The X-Division at times (i.e. everyone but Joe/Daniels/Styles) lacks personality, and this gives it a little without hurting the wrestling product than I'm all for it.
