The TNA Roster’s Best & Worst!
The Kingfish Arnie Katz picks the best (and the worst) in each important category on today’s TNA roster!
It is not always obvious who truly excels in the wrestling show. A good ring worker can look bad if the matches are against poor wrestlers or they are booked poorly. A superstar could be good with the mic, but get a bad script. And, of course, there’s the matter of opportunity. Wrestlers who don’t get mic time don’t have much of a chance to show their oratorical skill.
That notwithstanding, it’s an intriguing question. I’ll be sharing my judgments in a series of three columns and plan to update it every two or three months.
This time, let’;s look at the perfromers in TNA.
Best with the Mic
1. Christian Cage –.
2. Kurt Angle –
3. Kevin Nash —
Most Improved: Gail Kim
Worst with the Mic: Rock n Rave Infection
Best in the Ring
1. Curryman (Christopher Daniels) –
2. Kurt Angle –
3. Jay Lethal –
Most Improved: Kaz
Worst in the Ring: Kevin Nash
The Best Look
1. Kaz –
2. LAX (with Salinas) —
3. Kurt Angle –.
Most Improved: Robert Roode
Worst Look: Shark Boy
Best Knockout in the Ring
1. Awesome Kong – She’s the consummate female power wrestler heel. I have yet to see her do less than her best, though TNA has made a few unwise match-ups. Her assortment of holds is excellent, with at least three that are eye-popping and unusual for a female competitor.
2. Gail Kim – She is the perfect babyface foil for Awesome Kong in that she always looks like the underdog. Kim walked a rocky road in WWE, but she is fluid and polished in her TNA matches,
3. ODB – She’s Dick the Bruiser with gazongas. She worked very hard in the ring and has a good repetoire of maneuvers, including some nice power moves. Her personality overshadowed. I think we haven’t yet seen her best work, but what she has done is very good.
Most Improved: Gail Kim
Worst Knockout in the Ring: Velvet Skye
That’s it for today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another installment of the Internet’s fastest-rising daily wrestling column.
