I don't know about you guys, but I think that both Lance "Rock" and Jimmy Rave are great workers, and they deserve better than to be the fucking jobbers of the tag division. Its very annoying, and I am sick of it. First of all, their gimmick sucks, I used to like it but as Jim Cornette said on iMPACT!, everyone has a "shelf life" and the Rock and Rave Infection's gimmick is waaay past the expiration date imo. I think its time to end it finally, they should have Rave turn on Hoyt and then have those two feud for a little while. Then push Jimmy Rave as a heel in the X-Division, and Lance Hoyt as a babyface in the mid-card. Both men are very talented, and their talents are being wasted in this horrible tag team.

Anyway, thats just my opinion. I think its time that both men either ditch the rock and roll gimmick, or they just split and go their separate ways

I don't think Rave or Hoyt could survive in TNA in singles action. There is no mid card division for Hoyt to fit into and he is not at Main Event Status. Rave would probably never get over in the X-Division as it has too many talented stars in it.

I agree 100% with Chess and Zombie. R&R is being wasted as is Christy Hemme. like Chess' idea of having them turn on each other and breaking up. Rave could be huge in the X-division IMHO.

Hah couldn't agree. The only reaction they get is being dumbasses. Their guitars, their voice is all just annoying. They're not over and deserve better than that gimmick. Theyll be gone soon though, I betcha!

I agree, Rock n Rave could be a great great tag team in TNA. They seem to fit so well together and yet they are jobbed out. I understand TNA has some "big dogs" in their tag division, but i still think Rock n Rave should be higher up in the division. I think both could go singles, but not have the same sucess. (well it can't get much worse)

None the less, i think Rock N Rave should get involved a little more and use REAL guitars, and become serious contenders.

They do deserve better. they are the constant jobbers in TNA. i honestly don't know who would be lower on the TNA roster than these guys and i hate that. i would love to see jimmy rave as a single star in the x division and i don't really like lance rock to much but im sure they could fine something for him.

Hoyt was way over with Hoytamania a couple of years ago, and I think they dropped the ball on him. As for the tag team of R&R, they should act more like REAL rockstars, not some cartoon character. Just give them a badass attitude, and have them as super cocky heels, that's all they need. Or they could go face and rock us all "Like a Hurricane." oh wait, that's Dunn & Marcos.

for singles, both Rave & Hoyt aren't that good enough on the mic to be successful, but if they had Hemme and were more of like a faction, it could help them more.

What about Hoytmania, brother? Why can't it be 2005 again? :(

But seriously, what's the all big fuss about Jimmy Rave? His stuff in ROH was textbook at best, I just don't see what others see in him? He doesn't have the look, or even the charisma?

Rave stuff in the ring was about an average of ** 1/2-***

his charisma is meh.....But atleast Jimmy rave has been improving over the years while Lance Hoyt hasn't really.......

But i don't see either one Making a Huge Impact in TNA.....

But Lance Hoyt has had nearly 5 years to prove himself in TNA, I think it's time for him to go, Christy is still god awful in the ring, she just another pair of tits and ass and I think she would be one of the lower tv rating Knockouts...

Rave has only been there for a year, He's a fresh face for TNA and maybe to a majority of there fanbase.. Maybe build him up to be a quality #1 X division Contender.. But i'd doubt i would actually give him the belt.. unless he improves with his character verbal/non skills, Perform better matches in TNA rather than being squash would help to...

I just find Rave too bland. Hell, at least Johnny Devine has the natural charisma to keep his job. Is it the fact that Rave wrestles like a heavyweight that he has a job at all? Now, that makes no sense, and either does Jimmy Rave in TNA! FIRE HIM!

And maybe Lance Hoyt too...

Shark Boy is fine, since he's been Shark Boy his whole career and has a pretty big cult following. They just need to slowly make the transition from Stone Cold Ripoff to Loudmouth Fond Of Sharks Guy. Shark Boy has a great voice, and if he was given his own lines instead of "shell yeah", he'd be awesome. As for Curry Man, that dance is just... intoxicating. Lol. Curry is my drug.

But the rest of those goofy gimmicks, they need to go.
