Abyss's interview pissed me off

[Johnny D]

I mean, I thought this guy was meant to be the TNA equivalent to Deadman 'Taker/Kane/early Mankind (well, I assumed it after years of watching this stuff) and yet here he is talking almost f'n out of character in his full ring gear. (and yet still stated he was still a badass beast at he end which made me chuckle) At least, when 'Taker and Kane do it it's neither on WWE programming nor is it in their full ring gear. Then again I did stop taking Abyss seriously years ago and thought of him more as sadistic Eugene in a mask and dark clothing but TNA don't seem to have talented enough writers to make me care about him again. Surprise, surprise...

Abyss stopped being that character in 2008, I hardly bat an eye anymore when they ignore the fact that he was mute until age 30 something.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

He lost me at LOL'ing on his twitter.

[Protest the Chris Hero]

If anything he was more Mankind than Kane or Undertaker. But either way he's awful now. Dedicated and hardworking which is why he remains on the roster but really he's just awful. He can be good against work horses otherwsie it's the same old garbage wrestling/brawling crap he's done the last few years....He just needs to be a one man wrecking crew, not worry about titles but about hurting people

The scars stuff was OK, fit in with what Abyss is supposed to be.

And Abyss may be on the verge of turning face (I know, ANOTHER turn for him) so the RVD thing can sorta fit in there. The Hulk stuff can fit in there as well, since Hulk will probably also turn face soon.

With what Abyss has become, this interview is OK. He's not so much the insane guy at this point (I think...I've been hit or miss with IW lately) as he is the guy the big guy that likes to hurt people.

Just my opinion, though.

[Efren]

He hasnt been retarded for a long while, his last heel gimmick had him be an avid reader of The Art Of War...

His character changes are bad but not Kane bad...

[Johnny D]

I just don't know what the hell they are aiming for with this dude anymore, seriously. Him sucking up to Hogan for the 1293994th time in that interview doesn't help either, he is just plain awful now IMHO.

[Jimmy]

Abyss really just has gotten too out of shape, I think. Not that he was ever in great shape, but packing on the pounds in addition to the modifications of his attire really just make him look like a big fat loser instead of a monster.

then


now

The whole 'Hulk Hogan ring of power thing' made Abyss into a total joke for me.

[sportatorium]

Actually, I didn't mind this at all and I generally think he's terrible. As someone else said, if he is repackaged as a tough, hard as nails big guy, he'd be watchable face or heel. He seems like he'll do anything for TNA.

[DSR]

I've never liked Abyss.

I don't see what's so bad about it. It's pretty much what a face would say, but it's not out of character. What did you expect? That he is not able to form a proper sentence? It's not like he entered the ring to some very very shitty song by some obnoxious autotuned skank.
