8 TNA Impact Gimmick Changes That Lengthened Careers

And on the subject of Abyss, he was certainly granted new life as part of Decay, but the performer behind the mask added years to his career and spread his creative wings as the scaredy cat gentle giant Joseph Park.

Revealing depths of comedic timing and slapstick humor one would never guess existed after a decade as the TNA's resident bloodied pin cushion, Joseph Park offered fans and the wrestler himself a break from thumbtacks, glass, and other hardcore trappings that had long since lost their ability to pop the crowd.

Joseph Park was as unexpected as he was funny, and even his split personality gimmick later on allowed for the best of both characters to be retained. He might've made his name as Abyss, but he won the everlasting loyalty of the Mecca contingent as Joseph Park.
