Avis sur le produitTNA Impact (Sony PlayStation 3, 2008)

its ok

not worth the 59.99 priFormation of the Company
The concept of TNA Wrestling started on a fishing trip between Bob Ryder, Jeff Jarrett, and Jerry Jarrett, where they were contemplating their futures in the business of wrestling. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was the only wrestling product on television (following WWE's March 2001 purchase of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy that same year), which Ryder felt led many stations to believe that wrestling was bad for business. Ryder suggested a company that does not need television, but rather just goes straight to pay-per-view.

Jeff Jarrett was the only one of the three who took the discussion seriously (the other two thought of it as "just fishing talk"), and began formulating the business plan in his head. His first goal was to get former World Championship Wrestling people, such as Jeremy Borash, into the project. In the DVD The History of TNA: Year 1, Borash described the early company as "a skeleton crew, and there wasn't any specific job titles. It was 'Who's gonna cover this? Who's gonna cover this? Who's gonna cover this,' and we all just kind of slid into our roles."

Jeff Jarrett argues in The History of TNA: Year 1 that the hardest part of formulating the company was finding financial backing. In his own words, "You're asking people to invest... um... not small change... a substantial investment into an idea... into a theory, versus something that's tangible, that's up and running. That's how the normal course of business goes. This was a completely different sell."

Almost just as difficult was selling the weekly pay-per-view concept to the pay-per-view companies. In his own words, "That was something that In Demand, DirecTV had never even considered, a weekly pay-per-view wrestling series for ten dollars every Wednesday night! That in and of itself was a gigantic mountain to overcome, selling it to the pay-per-view companies."

The Jarretts found the help they needed, and the company had its first show on June 19, 2002. This night, however, they needed help in a different manner, because in a dark match just before they went on the air, a 450 lb wrestler named Cheex hit the ropes with so much force that one of them broke. The estimated repair time was 30-60 minutes, which they did not have because they were about to go live in a few minutes, whether the ring was ready or not. Backstage, the producers shuffled the schedule so that some non-wrestling segments went first to give the ring crew some more time, but they did not have many of them. Fortunately, the ring crew came up with a creative way to fix the rope, and everyone went live hoping for the best.

[edit] Weekly pay-per-view shows
The original TNA business model was different from that employed by WWE in several key ways. By not touring like other major federations have done, TNA was able to keep costs down. Until the introduction of the syndicated show, TNA Xplosion, in late 2002, TNA's weekly show was provided over pay-per-view to act as their main source of revenue, in place of monthly pay-per-view events used by other promotions.[3] These shows started on June 19, 2002 and were held mostly at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville to lower production costs.[4] After 27 months, TNA felt that they had a fanbase that would support three-hour pay-per-views and ceased their weekly shows on September 8, 2004.[5] TNA held its first thLire l'avis complet...

Not so good.

I had high hopes for this game.I love the WWF/WWE Smackdown,Smackdown vs. Raw games for the playstation.I love the gameplay and create a character on these games.Not so much on the TNA game.Had a pretty lame story in the career mode.The create a character comes nowhere near the WWE games(of course no other wrestling game has done this either).I really did not care for the controls on this game.Maybe it's because I am so used to the WWE games.The graphics are not all that bad.The wrestlers entrances are just to short.I was hoping to find a wrestling game just as good as the WWE ones,but no such luck yet.I'm glad I did not pay full price for this game.If you love the WWE games,you might want to skip this one.Lire l'avis complet...

TNA Impact

This game still looks great considering how long ago it was released. For any wrestling fans I would recommend getting it and adding it to your collection.

TNA Impact! PS3 Game

Awesome alternative Game from the WWE games which I won't buy due to one owner operator who has ruined Pro Wrestling in my book. Other than that, this Game here Rocks! Realistic indeed and the making up of ones own character is also Cool, and being that I am in my 50's I can still enjoy playing this with not only son, but Grandson as well. We have had a riot playing this together, all the laughs and even the thrilling moves that My Grandson has done to me, as he says Soo Cool Grandpa, did You see that Move???? Thanks TNA and MIDWAY for making one Incredible Wrestling Game!!Lire l'avis complet...

Fun

It was just the game disc and not the original game case with it but that's what I paid for and the disc works great.

Amazing

This game is very cool my brother love this game.

Worst wrestling game since WWF Warzone

Horrible game overall. Controls that are limited and don't register most of the time. Every wrestler has the same movesets. You have to go through career mode with a generic CAW to unlock stuff, rather than one of the in game wrestlers. The CAW mode is weak. The entrances are EXTREMELY brief. The graphics are really nice, but they clearly put little effort into anything else. I would rather play WCW vs the World for PSOne than this.

Buy the latest Smackdown vs Raw game instead and just use its insanely DEEP CAW system to make the TNA roster. Or just get into the Fire Pro series.Lire l'avis complet...

tna impact video game

I bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.Lire l'avis complet...

Oh my

How can TNA,even call this a wrestling game?No belts or finishing moves unless your in front of guy?No create a move list?Only 5 created wrestlers at a time?Short entrances?No in crowd fighting?Only chairs can be weapons?No complete move sets for any of the wrestlers?Sting does do a Scorpion Death Lock ya know.......idiots.Did they aim as low as possible with this first one so when the next comes out we cant do anything but say "At least it better than that last heaping pile they released"...?.....And I paid what for this?......I feel so,so,so robbed....Lire l'avis complet...
