Are Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave headed to the unemployment line?

neXus · 12-15-2008, 01:31 AM

Over the past few weeks we've seen Christy Hemme have a face turn and go out on her own. With Jay Leathal and his unknown partner in the front of the line when it comes to a tag title shot, it leaves Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave looking from the outside it. Will the outside be known as the unempolyment line or do you think one or both of them will remain in the company?

Fairly sure Lethal's partner is Creed seeing as they were standing together and both did the belt signal.

Oh to answer the question, Lance Rock yes. Jimmy Rave no. They seem to like the guy as he's still getting airtime, matches on TV and PPVs.

You know how TNA is...both of those men will be given a gimmick change. (Probally even siller then their current gimmicks)

I don't know about them being canned, as both Hoyt and Rave are pretty decent talents and make a neat team. Personally, I'd like to see them drop the goofy Guitar Hero gimmick and stick around as a more serious tag team. Just for no reason splinter them off from Hemme and let them continue as a generic big guy little guy tag team for a while.

Hemme is the only thing they had going for them as a team imo. I am not really a fan of Hemme's push, but as a heel manager, she fits the bill. Fits the annoying bitch role very well.

I hate their gimmick, and I really don't see any good in Lance Rock. I only know Rave is good from his ROH stuff, as he hasn't really been given a chance to shine in TNA. I personally would release Rock and give Rave a decent push in the X Division. I mentioned this in another thread, but with divas stealing the finishers of top TNA guys, it would be cool to see a development of Rave's ROH gimmick, with him using WWE finishers to win matches.

Either way, I like Rave but not Rock.

Lance Rock i could care less about, good ridenece to him IMO. But Jimmy Rave? Hes a great talent, any one see his ROH work? If so, then you know hes great, they need to repackage him, with a better gimmick, and viloa, Jimmy Rave could be a top talent in TNA. Well to limit's anyways, X Division star most likely, but they shouldn't give him the "boot", they should keep him around, what TNA needs is good wrestlers, and Jimmy Rave fits that to a T.

I'd love to see Rave get fired. TNA has treated Rave like shit ever since he came into the company. Where's the matches against Shelley? Where's the arrogance that he used to show? Hell...where did his talent go?

TNA could of done so much with Rave. Hell, Prince Nana quit ROH so that he could hopefully get a contract with TNA or the WWE. TNA's current roster has 3 old Embassy members. But instead of doing anything to appeal to their smark audience (Which TNA is lying to themselves if they believe that they're still not a heavy smark company), they've chosen to ignore one of their better talents.

Fire Rave so that he can actually be used well again.

thought hoyt was like test but better. he had hoytamania going from the crowd. good cult following. they fucked him over. wouldn't be surprised to see him in wwe or mexico or japen wrestling.

as for rave. incredbible talent. they jobbed him out which imo is a big no no when debuting in a company. got build them up not bury them right off the bat. could have done so much more rave. even with hoyt found them a bit assuming... red snapper.

jim is right tna plays to much to marks on the internet. instead of listening to crowd they listen to the internet.

biggest problem i see in tna and wwe is they don't reconize someone with talent and actually do something with that. there is a few but it's all run but politics. this guy is a hell of wrestler but he is out of shape we don't want him. hey this guy is ripped to the maxx but he can't wrestle, lets hire him. just a general waste. sadly rave and rock fall into this category

I was saying the complete opposite.

I think Jimmy Rave and Lance Rock will remain in TNA for a while, even though they aren't going anywhere TNA still needs a jobber or two to put over the other talent so keeping them would be a smart thing to do imo. The only way I can see Rave or Rock out of TNA is if they are sick of jobbing and leave themselves but other then that I see them staying there for a while longer with Hemme or not.
