We've seen tons of gimmick changes lately, so which do you enjoy more? Personally I hate them all...

I only enjoy Curry Man, probably because TNA didn't come up with it/rip it directly from WWE.

Black Machismo. He owns. He's great on the mic, entertaining, can wrestle - what's the problem (also, the problem can't be OMGZ IT WASN"T THEIR IDEA)

Black Reign, because we got the debut of Misty,  ing Misty I tell you! seriously, they suck, but If I had to choose one It would be Curry Man. I prefer Daniels, though. |

Johnny the Bull to Rellik.... I missed seeing him in WWE. I really like the guy, dont know why, maybe cause ive followed him since the WCW days. I wish that TNA would get a FBI gimmick going. Hell, it may be a rip-off, but it was entertaining.

I'm going with Hot, Spicy, Curry Man. Lethal is a close second.

Jay Lethal is the only one I'm a fan of. I haven't watched but I am not a fan of Rip Offs unless it is repeatedly done.
That eliminates Shark Boy
I was a fan of the Dustin Rhodes gimmick in early TNA and there are way too many monster gimmicks and none of them seem to work.
That eliminates
Rellik and Dark Reign
I don't think they need another comedy gimmick.
That takes away Curry Man
I was a huge fan of Sonjay Dutt then they ruined him by not pushing him then they gave him a dorky comedy gimmick. They could not top his original gimmick.
That eliminates the Guru
Super Eric is kinda ruining Eric Young. Unless they have him come out of it as a courageous tough guy. I'm not a fan of Rip Offs so Macho Man is not a great gimmick change due to it being limited. Super Eric has great potential. Jay Lethal is pulling off the Macho Man gimmick though.
Winner Macho Man Jay Lethal. They just need to have him come out with a rap CD. Or they can have Macho Man come back and help him win the X-Division championship. He could stay for one month and have backstage promos telling him to be himself. He could help pull out a rage and beast gimmick. They could then have him do face washes. They could also have him almost get pinned but he then kicks out and goes on a rampage and destroys his opponent. Sorta like The Samoa Joe charachter.

the best change i think has been Jay Lethal, it totally got rid of any 'he's a good wrestler, but lacks charisma' stigma. he's shown lots of charisma in segments and is still a great wrestler.
(honourable mention: Sonjay Dutt & Eric Young - vote for both in the Mr.TNA 2008 competition!)

Black Machismo is the only one on the list that is entertaining. I hate the others.

Black Machismo hands down. I'm pretty impressed how Lethal has gotten it down. I think it was a great move and really got him noticed.

Black Machismo, but only because the others are horribly lame. TNA doesn’t get points for originality but at least the gimmick works to some capacity. TNA’s version of Curryman blows… they basically put Christopher Daniels in a schlub suit and whored out the comedy aspect of that character. Sonjay was far better, and far more marketable as the “Playa from the Himalayas.” The other guys would need an amazing promotion with great ideas to look decent in, and TNA isn't even close to being that promotion.

"Maple Leaf Muscle" Petey Williams. Lol was going to put that, but sisn't see it as a huge change. Stamboli, his moveset seems to have improved I agree with that, but it got boring after a few matches. |
