2 Cents: Gunner

[cero2k]

yeah, that guy that is getting an ultimate push in TNA. what are your thoughts??

personally, i don't like him, not because he's bad, but because i don't see anything in him, just another generic body that can do some moves. His promos are at most ok, to me he sounds like a typical angry dude. His wrestling is meh, i mean, he's not the worst i've seen, but when you have Angle, Styles, Joe, Aries, Anderson, Pope, etc etc, well....he's not that special.

I have a feeling that the only reason why he's getting this out of the world push (along with Crimson) is because TNA wants their own Cena and Orton, someone that they created themselves, someone who's willing to suck up to the company and people running it, so they won't bail on the company once they're in the top.

This.

Also, I forgot who said it, but in regard to names somebody in the industry once said something along the lines of, a good rule of thumb is to say out loud "The winner, and NEEEEW World Heavyweight Champion.... (insert name here)!" and if it doesn't sound right, it's time to go back to the drawing board. I think Gunner needs to go back to the drawing board. A great name for a henchman, no so much for a World Title competitor.

He has potential, but he's got a long way to go. He seems very generic and has barely any personality, but he definitely has some untapped potential in him.

I like him; he's what TNA has been missing for a very long time: a new, good TNA Original. I like him and Crimson...

[Big Red Machine]

I think he is good, and TNA is doing a good job of building him up. As for Bob-O's comment about names: sometimes that holds true and sometimes it doesn't. It almost always seems weird for someone with no first of last name. With Gunner, though, it is an easy fix: Just add a last name.

or a first.

I love Gunner. Honestly, he is the only thing on TNA that I like watching. Although, I can see TNA dropping the ball big time with him in terms of developing his character a little bit. At the moment he's just a generic wrestler. He needs SOMETHING that makes him slightly different from everyone else on the roster.

And breaking away from Immortal will do that for him.

I think Gunner is one of the people we'll all be talking about circa 2020 the way we talk about Cena/Punk today or how we talked about Rock/Austin in the 1990s. The thing is, all these guys started off with kind of an unsuccessful generic gimmick, and I think that's where we are right now, out of both Gunner and Crimson, the other guy who I think will be the big young star of the next generation

I could see it with Gunner but not Crimson. Gunner has some decent in ring skill and if polished a bit can be a really nice asset to TNA. He just needs to break away from Immortal. In fact, Immortal just needs to go because they do nothing but waste time IMO. I haven't seen as much potential from Crimson as i have with Gunner.

I agree with this statement.
bob is correct, but when in wwe terms has 'cm punk' been a good world champion name?
sometimes it doesnt sound right first time or even 40th time, sometimes it just becomes right.

I too (now that its mentioned) think gunner could do with maybe a last name. i like the thinking behind his name (former army gunner) if only his former partner wasn't called Murphy, because Gunner Murphy is a pretty cool name that suits him.

It would be an awesome name

It would be an awesome name

but then you could probably get away with something close like Gunner Andrews or Gunner Davis
