10 Worst TNA Gimmick Changes
TNA's 10 worst gimmick changes in history
6. Lance Hoyt & Jimmy Rave to The Rock 'n' Rave Infection
The story of Lance Hoyt’s TNA career was one of moving from random tag team to random tag team.
Kid Kash, Matt Bentley, Ron Killings – all of them found themselves joining forces with the big man, though none of the teams made much of an impact.
What came next, though, was a name change for Hoyt as he was repackaged as Lance Rock.
Jimmy Rave, for his part, had wrestled a handful of matches during TNA’s first few years – typically as either an enhancement talent or in some multi-man X division match – and was no doubt just happy to have a contract after toiling on the indies for an age.
Flanked by Christy Hemme, the Rock N’ Rave Infection didn’t exactly get off to a blistering start and they just sort of drifted aimlessly until Hemme quietly split from them. Rock and Rave were then released from the company a day apart. Sadly, nobody missed them or their faux instrument-playing ways.
Together for almost 18 months, the Rock N’ Rave Infection was thrown together and rather naff, yes, but it did at least give three talented performers more valuable television time.
