General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Loochquake]

I always kinda felt like Abyss was TNA's Kane

 

[Loochquake]

In terms of booking etc

 

[Hoss]

Could either be Kane or Mankind depending on the scenario

 

[Hoss]

Except he never got booked as well as Mankind of course

 

[Loochquake]

Yea, I think Mankind or Foley in general was booked way better than Kane (after the initial Taker program)

 

[Chris]

Yeah I feel like the kane comparison was always the goal but to me I got more of the early mankind vibes

 

[Hoss]

Yeah I'd say that's accurate

 

[Chris]

10 year old me was obsessed with his James Mitchell lore until I realized it sucked

 

[Hoss]

I'd put peak mid 2000s Abyss up there with peak early 2000s Kane probably

 

[Hoss]

The Shock Drop and Black Hole Slam both were amazing finishers

 

[Chris]

I still rate the Joseph Park chatacter highly too

 

[Hoss]

I'd mostly say aside from the period when he was feuding with Mesias, Black Reign and Rellik, Abyss was always pretty compelling for me. Even during Immortal. I really liked his white asylum gear era, and his team with Matt Morgan too.

 

[Chris]

Black reign and his rat terrified me

 

[Hoss]

There was always an aura of "business is about to pick up" when you heard his theme hit too

 

[Chris]

Did you know rellik is killer spelled backwards
