TNA Action Figure Review: Samoa Joe

Filed Under: Merchandise , August 16, 2011 By

It has been awhile since Jakks Pacific put a new figure series out on the market, but they might have hit a home-run with Deluxe iMPACT Series 5. In the next few articles, I will break down each figure’s pros and cons. I’m going to take a look at “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe’s figure first right after the cut!

Samoa Joe is a good example of a wrestler that Jakks Pacific just can’t seem to get correct. When you look at Joe’s first figures (Deluxe iMPACT 1 and Cross The Line 1), you can tell that something went wrong with them (height, lack of articulation, etc) but Jakks is trying to get it correct in the next round, with a brand new Samoa Joe figure.

MrTheShelldon’s Impact From iMPACT!

Filed Under: Shows , April 16, 2011 By

I’m back and this time I’m only doing one impact from iMPACT! I want to put all my focus on the best segment of the show.

Okay I’m not going to lie, but I did not watch much of Impact this week. However, what I did see was the six man tag. I thought it gave three single matches some well needed exposure; especially Hernandez and Morgan. The Mexican America storyline is slowly growing on me. It’s no LAX but it’s doing its job of exploiting some cheap heat, which is what wrestling heels were built on.

The Angle vs. Jarrett match is the match I’m most looking forward to, and the fact that there hasn’t been much interaction between the two makes me looks forward to it even more. Seeing them both compete in the same match, beating on each other just builds the tension.

Samoa Joe and The Pope needs a lot of help TNA has dropped the ball on this one. They could have done a lot more. The concept they are pushing on TV is Street vs. Submission. Does this mean that it’s a street fight and a submission match? I’m unsure. And while we are talking about ball dropping, where is Okado? One match and one backstage segment and he is gone?

So this is why this match became my number one impact from iMPACT!
