I think I like J. Mitchell even more

Oh, God. One of the greatest segments ever. Seeing Abyss act like a Hootie Hoo! was greatness.

Mitchell was someone I always liked but that segment made me a mark for life. Abyss did a great job too

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

Abyss played the role of a beaten dog very, very well. I was honestly surprised to see that level of emoting coming from a guy I had written off as a poor man's Mankind/Kane.

James Mitchell is just a fantastic promo, and Abyss, like CAE said, showed emotions and depth that I didn't think they'd let him. What worries me is the "interview" I saw at some newz site (take it for what it's worth) with Tomko. It's pretty obvious, if it's real, where they're leading this storyline, and it worries me. Here's the interview, just in case it hasn't been posted (probably has, but just in case)

Might be. Sadly, I see this being a mixture of the "Kane killed his family", "Mankind driven mad by years of isolation" storylines. I hope I'm wrong, but that's how I see Vinnie Ru writing it.

Why couldn't the backstory be of a guy who, as big as he is, wasn't a very violent guy when he went in to prison, but prison itself, and later the extended isolation, drove him crazy.

Maybe it's not as flashy, but I think it'd be decent, anyway. I garauntee Mitchell could cut some good promos out of it.

I know it's kayfabe, I was meaning more the credibility of the site I saw it on, ya know?

[BHB]

Wow. That was intense.

[George Harrison]

Intense.

Abyss played that very well, scary. lol.

[dennisisevil]

Jim Mitchell has always been a great heel manager. I especially liked when he was the Sinister Minister in ECW. He does some of the best promos ever.

It actually scared me a little as well until it made me laugh my ass off at the way Abyss was acting

[hutter]

Looks like Abyss is taking acting cues from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Can we now officially renamed "TNA Impact" to "WWE Thursday Night Thunder"?

[mysterydriver]

Wait...Tomko was in prison?

Anyway, nice to see they came back to Abyss's fear of barbwire in the interview. Video was neat.

[comahan]

i loved that video

Those years he was supposedly in OVW, teaming with the current Kevin Thorn, etc. Yeah all a lie!! He was in prison!

Tomko should have raped Abyss

Hilarity

As a t-shirt once said, rape is no laughing matter unless you're raping a clown.

[HMARK Center]

Damn...I need to watch the replay tonight.

[The Line]

he's my favorite manager. The best to never work in the E. He was great in Forever Hardcore

He worked at ONS so technically he worked for them
