Suicide and the new Samoa Joe

[Frown]

What are your feelings on the wrestler Suicide?? I have heard many people say that the gimmick is ridiculous and horrible. I think Suicide is great. His music, entrance, look and wrestling ability are awesome. His pose where he puts his fingers to his head as if it were a gun and he is blowing his brains out is probably not good for kids to see, but who cares about them anyway!

How about Samoa Joe? What do you think about his new gimmick? I would say this is a step up from his last charachter because now he is just a crazy madman. Before he tried to be crazy or something but his promos I always felt were very bad and annoying. On the other hand, they have him putting a knife up to Steiners throat and at the PPV acted as if he had slit Steiners throat or something. Now TNA, even I would have to say that you have "crossed the line" on that one. I personally think it is a small step up, but the knife stuff is ridiculous and ultimately I dont believe this will elevate Joe's status in the least bit.

Suicide is a great example of how much TNA is in the hole. They're taking their ideas from a video game for christ's sakes. Putting his fingers to his head to blow his brains out is nothing original. Samoa Joe shouldn't need a gimmick, he should be aloud to wrestle, not cut promos every Impact.

How can it be considered "taking their ideas from a video game" when it was their video game? And I'm pretty sure they put the character in the game because he would be appearing on television around the same time the game came out.

Also, considering Joe's tribal face tattoo, I think the "Nation of Violence" makes him a LOT more interesting to the regular TNA fan. If they carry it enough, he could win the World title again and wouldn't look like a damn chump with it.
