Jonathan gresham went from a face to a great muta heel

[@joseangelriverac7490]

You said it perfect, a Muta like heel, I knew I had seen something similar and was not Bray Wyatt

[@user-en2eo6nc3s]

@@joseangelriverac7490 I know right, he does the similar thing

[@bodyslamchannel]

Great Muta from Ali Express

[@backlogcabin8003]

Jonathan Greaham was always a masterful wrestler, but now his feelings are pouring out through his in-ring ability. Keeping an eye out on this development

[@ts_of_defunct]

This new transformation Johnathan Gresham has gone through is really cool. I love that he's leaning harder into "The Octopus" moniker.

[@JoshuaHosking_MarcCaliber17]

It seems he reinvented himself by looking into a world of dark arts

[@michaelmerly3596]

More like the Arts of H.P Lovecraft

[@JoshuaHosking_MarcCaliber17]

​@@michaelmerly3596oh yeah, cool.

[@whyphy2213]

Jonathan Gresham new mask makes him looks like Jeepers Creepers

[@manbun6441]

It looks like he has finally found his IT Factor. He went from just another tech wiz to someone with some personality. He can monetize this gimmick unlike other tech wiz wrestlers. Smart move from the Gresham and everyone who helped him with this development.

[@artiehendrix1042]

Gresham is hands down the SMOOTHEST wrestler right now…just super slick and everything he does looks like butter…awesome character as well

[@662chillin]

He has no wasted movement. Everything he does is pinpoint such as those kicks to the knees.

[@MaynesWorld]

Alright, I'm back to watching TNA again. Thanks Gresham!

[@movementencouragedfitness5945]

“He is the octopus …..” lol

[@xero81]

I like "Onyx Octopus" better.

[@thenewnostalgia]

I said this on reddit, but this gimmick has legs... eight of 'em.

[@Valincio]

Nice to see Greshmanlet trying something new.

[@wan1698]

You should try something new too instead of trolling, like get a life.

[@imnobody1906]

I really like how the mandible claw has made a comback

[@Joecbg100]

From Wyatt to Grescham

[@Kenny-Blankenship]

Will Ferrara? We got an ROH match here, brother

[@RussellTheTrader97]

That mask is terrifying lol

[@kidz4p509]

If Gresham is going for a Great Muta thing, then he needs a separate name for the character.

[@redrag0n_]

The Greta

[@1kizhun]

He uses Octopus so can he upgrade to kraken well it's a monster and Gresham looks like he'll be walking a path of destruction in tna

[@TheOldMPClub]

This is the sad part where we tell how sheltered some of you people are. Dude has been wearing a Cthulu mask to the ring for years. This new character is very much Lovecraftan in design.

[@Therealmrhandsome]

About time Gresham had something to make him interesting, hope to see something come of this character change

[@Farmerb1985]

Coolest mask from Jonathan grisham

[@BlueTurretGaming]

Not a fan of that ink finisher but I'm digging Gresh in a mask.

[@fatmoefatmoe2645]

I’m mostly not a fan because Spitting ink on your hand and putting it in someone else’s mouth is fkn disgusting 🤣 and Manidible Claw and Pin combo is The Fiends move

[@tony.398]

[@alexmorenoruiz10]

@@tony.398no it’s not, body is dead but not the fiend

[@willhorting5317]

​@@fatmoefatmoe2645wrestlers were using the Mandible Claw long before the Fiend was ever born.

[@ownerofastolengun]

the mandible claw is mankind’s move but there’s definitely influence from the fiend in this new character

[@matthewbush2371]

New Johnathan Gresham got nasty attitude 😡😡😡

[@giorgiasimeoni8437]

Jonathan Gresham is very intriguing to me with this new character and I believe as a heel he will be able to demonstrate that he is a wrestler in all his facets 🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤😈😈😈

[@simonzone3]

When you’ve found you’re IT FACTOR

[@poppawolf8777]

I absolutely love this evolution of grisham

[@Tetsumikun]

F'ckin love this persona

[@cineyematic]

This eerie version of Gresham is sensational. One of the few characters that can produce real fear such as Undertaker, Boogeyman, Wyatt, etc.

[@xchsanch]

its the same as lio rush’s new persona

[@homeboytrt]

Papa shango & Gangrel lol

[@herecomesdatrain]

​@@xchsanch you mean the black heart lol ok

[@darnelldarden9429]

Love to see wrestlers trying new and gimmicks that are outside of the box. Gresham has earned himself a new fan

[@1kizhun]

You dont know how long ive waited for gresham to be abit of a monster and walk a path of destruction right though tna so thanks and keep it up

[@iAMNinjaDarkovia]

I legit thought he was going to execute the octopus hold/stretch at the end lols

[@emissary_kyle]

He's become a true eldritch monstrosity!

[@kamaka07]

That's a solid character.

[@seanhenderson7205]

Gresham may be my favorite wrestler now based solely on this match

[@angelotero7729]

he's got that Muta style love the character his transitions are smooth if he was a bigger guy this character would be even more intimidating

[@williammortel4283]

Gresham channeling his inner boogey man only meaner 😁😁😁

[@kimwaddell4218]

I think Will Ferrera was in ROH as apart of the Dawgs

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Excellent match

[@dupedupe5927]

Gresham is insane!!!!!!!!! Watching for him

[@IMBAEMONSTAN]

Drago vs Gresham

[@TheOldMPClub]

Jonathan Gresham has tapped into his Lovecraft fanboy to become an actual interesting character. Props to him for overcoming the mask issue, because where tf was this Gresham when Quack put him into the Osirian Portal?

[@neverangel24officialytchan87]

The Osirian Portal?! DUDE! I love that, Ophidian is an OG!

[@realliltreazy6689]

Yo this gimmick got me back watching tna ❗️

[@bernardonicolato4158]

Isn't that dude who is the ref that vegan wrestler MJF faced in a random Indy event?

[@TravisOuttaHell]

I see him using that in a baby face run 5 years later. He finally has something to cling on to.

[@nicholas3651]

Genuinely , He truly is an amazing wrestler

[@jamstarent21]

Mini muta, his move set and approach is very 🐙

[@christianmontgomery1991]

He should had called himself The Dark Octopus

[@Jaxxxz1356]

or the Kraken

[@sageralholi8427]

The kraken is unleashed NOT the OCTOPUS 🐙 he is the KRAKEN

[@TheJFM]

If he's going to start doing supernatural stuff, maybe he could have used a name change too? Kinda hard to take a big scary Cthulu monster named Jonathan seriously.

[@dizzle1119]

Gresham can wrestle like a beast....and his new look is dope. I always thought Sting should have implemented a mask in the later days of his career, too. Like Muta.

[@Joecbg100]

Like a Sting plastic mask with fake hair like Kane? Recent Kane with the lazy wig?

[@szczesciejestkoloruczarneg749]

this gimmick is producable

[@sucramadus6715]

Dude how Young is that Referee?

[@rikiarifdarma351]

17

[@iAMNinjaDarkovia]

9 years old

At least he finally has a character I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with him now

[@ajm4606]

When squasher is smaller than squashee

[@MarcYanruw]

I dont want to be standing across the ring from it

[@KevinBelhor]

2:02 - He needs to get rid of face mannerisms like this. This makeover could make him a KILLER heel, but he has face habits still.

[@jerykomontanez159]

I am getting The Great Muta vibes

[@RealOrigenDue]

Love the mask… reminds me of Drago from Lucha Underground… hope he gets really dark and cold hearted! Be a great refresh for Gresham, especially as a sympathetic heel.

[@Critterfer]

Shouldn't that in kayfabe gotten him disqualified?

[@InuJus10]

Someone's been playing Baldurs Gate

[@2007Robocop]

I like 👍 it! Great job!

[@seanclark9258]

J.G went with a mask that has a creepy factor to it for sure & has embraced the moniker of The Octopus Johnathan Grisham and the color is majority of black with white for the graphic design on his gear.

[@davidedefelicis5688]

Gresham is not Great Muta.

[@johnnywashington3324]

Cool mask

[@user-ed4lu2hr7e]

this is a different jonathan gresham

Wonder how Jordyn grace likes this version of him??

[@beebee1354]

Wanna be The Great Muta 😅

[@mth1022]

I really like this. 🐙

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

hottest thing on TNA

[@albertausprey]

Not a fan of the clapping thing as it takes away from the aura of this mysterious version. Especially everytime he does it, it doesn’t have an exclamation point at the end of the maneuver and the clap slowly fades instead of a huge pop. Also, isn’t the poison a foreign “object?” As it was used to defeat his opponent.

[@Clifton7191]

We need him and Blackheart Lio Rush a team

[@I_Am_AceHitzz]

I was scrolling through the comments to see if and had the same idea . That definitely would be a tag team I’d watch

[@iAMNinjaDarkovia]

That’ll be dope!

[@PengepesSombong]

Great muta mask but his character was more similar to mil muertes. Great wrestler even without this character. But with this gimmick he would be a top wrestler in tna.

[@calebmaybin6896]

C ... thu ... lu ... will ... Rock You! 🐙🤘

Glad it's not going over the entire comment secton's heads.

[@brandonwilliams5526]

This is the more sick and twisted side of Josh Gresham.

[@SamAnon8]

I don't know whether any top wrestler would allow Gresham to spit that venom into his mouth. Needs to keep that in his pocket before poisoning his opponent. And that in ring mask needs a different color and some Octopus Limbs ( keep the venom there if possible). That'd be awesome!

[@Gavin-my6jb]

Did he actually poison him

Bro it’s scripted stop thinking like that

Fun idea for a gimmick but there is simply nothing that can cover up Gresham's abject lack of charisma.

Cthulhu called he wants his face back.

[@neverangel24officialytchan87]

[@JohannAffendyMahfoor]

Muta inspirations are bit on the nose, but it's a cool new persona for Gresham. Maybe find a more menacing moniker other than "Octopus" 🤣 I also liked that they got the ref involved in the gimmick, as seen at 2:50.

[@deeboy214]

mini dinosaur johnathan lol

[@JPGamerRetroAnime]

The new GREAT MUTA look a like.👹👹🐙🐙

[@GP8201]

This seems interesting and the whole packaging of this gimmick looks outstanding. I'd rather he approach this like he's poisoned people many times already and this is just clockwork for this character. This came off like he's new; like a rookie sports athlete scoring their first goal vs. hundreds already. A ruthless assassin/killer doesn't showboat or bask around looking for a reaction, he just moves on to the next one and even comes off a bit disjointed and emotionless. I think he will evolve and get better with the personality with this but it currently to me comes off a bit too try hard and "new".

[@williesimpkins-wr8er]

Cool looking mask but dude like 4ft tall. Hard to be a monster being that small.

[@NicklovesAEW]

Jonathan Gresham Is insane with the new mask @ doing the mandible claw he doesn’t look like a octopus anymore he’s a monster from Japan with that mask on I loved it
