Last week on iMPACT during the 6-man X-Division tag match, Jimmy Rave headed down to the ring and was absolutely cheered by the fans... I believe that it's time to turn Jimmy Rave face and hopefully be a factor to the X-Division or actually hold the X-Division title for once. He's too good in the ring to be jobbed out and misused due to his phenomenal matches back in ROH are just a misery looking at his current status in TNA. And it's all because he's stuck with that Blue ass Guitar Hero gimmick/Lance Hoyt that's really holding Jimmy back.

Now that Christy Hemme has fueded with Kong and she has become a full fledged face, Lance Hoyt has disappeared from the face of the earth, and a new year is on the way for new possibilities I strongly believe it's the right time to push Jimmy Rave as a face and split up the Rock N Rave Infection or what's left over of it.

Thoughts?

I agree, Rave was exciting and put on some jaw - dropping matches back in the ROH as a singles wrestler. Like any brand, TNA started him as a team with Rock, something that got him quite a bit of fans. But now. Christy has left and they aren't even putting any effort into this gimmick anymore. (When was the last time you saw Jimmy or Lance bring a GH guitar to the ring?)

I do think TNA has taken this into consideration though as him and Lance barely did any double team moves and both of them did their on thing and I think you could kind of see Rave's single's wrestler potential peaking through. I mean you didn't see him pull off anything spectacular but he was knocking people off turnbuckles, giving people hard as heck punches, playing with energy and was pleasing the fans from the time he stepped into the six sided ring.

So I wouldn't say to expect anything too soon but I wouldn't be suprised to see Rave move away from Rock in the near future.​

I like Lance Hoyt a big man that has proven in the past he can work but Jimmy Rave makes me wanna vomit....Another small man of average talent.

Rave is great at gaining heat and taking bumps. But he really has never been giving the chance. ROH kinda gave him the ball and let him run with it, but he was always seen as the guy who NEEDS to get beat up.

Lance is really only good because of his size. I mean, his mic skills are awful, he's not as agile like other big wrestlers. Like to earn my respect, he needs to take more chances, freshen his moveset and prove himself against someone bigger than him.

With Rave, he try's his hardest to win matches and try and prove that he can wrestle as a singles wrestler but his size is always his downfall in those situations. Like if jimmy broke up with Rock, and go involved in singles matches you'd see his talent is way more than average!​
