Here’s another mention of TNA… anyone remember the Impact video game?

I think it came out in 2009 or something for the PS3 and Xbox 360, but there was also a PS2 version that I ended up snagging. The PS2 version was naturally stripped down from the higher-end consoles of the time; it even lacked the Create-A-Wrestler feature that the other versions had, which severely killed the potential replay value for me. Regardless, I had bought it fairly new back in the day, it came with a bonus DVD of TNA’s best matches… something I might take a look at once of these days.

I haven’t touched it all that much, to be honest. I think I sampled it for a couple days before storing it on the shelve and never looked back. From what I recall, I didn’t think it was a terrible game or anything, but it’s not something that has me coming back for me. Maybe if there was a CAW feature on there, I’d spend more time on it… but honestly, you’d need something really special to break me away from the WWE games and their Universe mode.

Maybe some day, Geordi. Maybe some day, I’ll give that game another shot.

What the fuck is a POP? Derp.

But good for TNA. They managed to survive for another year… assuming people know what POP is, I guess.

I don’t know what this COMET channel happens to be since I’ve never heard of it and I’m not American, but good for ROH. They found another non-Sinclair network to air their show on. It’s unfortunate that TNA isn’t as forthcoming in regards to their television future. Oh well.

Well, that sucks for Rollins. Despite the overall shitty booking of his character, the guy could work wonders when given the opportunity. Word is he’ll be out six to eight months, meaning he’ll miss out on Mania, for whatever that’s worth. In any case, wishing nothing but the best for Seth and hope he makes a speedy recovery.

And with that, we can expect a new champion crowned at Survivor Series and no doubt it’ll probably be Roman, because why wouldn’t it be?

“I got a phone call. That’s what changed my mind. ‘Would you be willing for one last hurrah?’ And that lasted about seven or eight years in TNA.”

There you have. A quick blurb or throwaway line, but Sting does indeed mention TNA in a WWE DVD set… so take that, Josh Matthews.

All the hot, talented ladies that are changing the scene” are not in this newest video game and might not even be made into DLC… but hey, you can still play as the Bellas.

Yeah, so… Viva #LOLDivasRevolution!
