TNA Is Going Well Again (For Now)
Mar. 9th, 2014 10:48 pmThey're starting to give the bad guys separate and defined characteristics and solid, sensible reasons for the good guys to be fighting against them (and for them to be fighting the good guys).
You've got Bully Ray who is beyond the pale because what he threatens to do to people (who are not wrestlers) and wants to hurt people because that is how he communicates his feelings.
Then there's James Storm, heel turn fully established, and beyond the pale for criticising the troops (the man is good, he got a UK audience to boo him for being mean to US troops) and his reason is that he feels that Gunnar has used him.
Then you've got Magnus, who is a high heel, king of cheap heat - like bringing in a German to do his beating up of Joe because no Brit is up to the job. In *London* - it's brilliant and perfect.
Then there's Roode and Aries who aren't evil, they've just fallen into temptation.
EC3, amomma's Auntie's boy, who, again is the king of cheap heel heat - saying the US is going to win the *soccer* World Cup, again in *London*.
There's the BroManZ and Bad Influence having a sneak-off and Rockstar Spud being a tiny comedy heel, who is too useless to be dangerous and too annoying to adorable (unless, like me, you have a soft spot for small, annoying, flippy wrestlers).
On the good guys side, you've got Gunnar, who is now defending the good name of US troops, Samoa Joe, the man who cannot be bought, MVP, pulling double duty as Dixie and Bobby Roode's foils, the American Wolves (I could do with them getting a bit more character), as yet unknown vs Aries and Kurt Angle, standing up for being your own man vs EC3.
Admittedly there's things I'm choosing to ignore, like Sam Shaw, serial killer in training, which has got worse and I want someone to punch him only they've stuck Anderson in that slot and well know how I feel about Ken Anderson.
They don't seem to know what to do with the Knockouts, but since their way of dealing with it is random matches rather than getting rid of them, I'm not going to complain.
Not sure how I feel about Jeff Hardy's new character. On the one hand, American gothic gone LSD is actually right up my street. On the other hand, a Jeff Hardy character that can only be described with drug references ...
