Do you guys think that this should keep going? I personally love it, Lethal has made some pretty funny promos with the gimmick and it also resulted in him becoming X-Division Champion! I dont see why the crowd didnt react to his promo at Bound For Glory!

OOOOHHH YYYYEEEAAAA!!!!

B/c his voice sounded a bit scratchy last night.

Anyways, I think its a great gimmick personally. THey just need to bring in Randy Savage for a bit. They should have done this a while back while Nash was still working with him and ended up in a Nash/Savage confrontation. That would have brought back some memories

I personally don't like it and I think they could have gone other ways to try and get Jay Lethal over instead of copying someone elses gimmick. Or they could have had him act like Randy Savage but not make it as obvious.

Well either way Lethal has found a long lasting gimmick even if it is of someone else.

Haha, I love it personally. Its original, but at the same time everyone recognizes it. If Jay Lethal wasn't a talented wrestler I probably wouldn't be so big on it. But since he is, I see no problem in him imitating the Macho Man, its funny as hell.

I think it is awesome as well. Great gimmick. It's paying homage to Randy Savage. If anybody needs a new gimmick it is definitely Sonjay Dutt.

Yeah... that's one of the reason why I watch TNA, lol... I really liked his gimmick and as what just you said because of this gimmick, he won the X-Division title so I think he should continue this gimmick

Well so far the gimmick is working for Lethal, so I guess he should keep it... I do agree that Sonjay REALLY needs to change his gimmick... >.<

It's a good gimmick which has lasted long enough, they should bring Randy Savage for like 1 or 2 Months so that the gimmick doesn't die, Bring back Randy Savage and have him team up with Lethal to form a short lived Tag Team, when Savage leaves, Jay Lethal gets a big push straight to the Main Event. He worked with a former Champion after all so that's gotta be good. I think the Gimmick should still keep going but a twist should come so that the gimmick looks good and not old and rusted.
