Did Team 3D just had their way with TNA?

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Let me get this straight, they don't have a contract with the company, hell Bully has made it clear by retweeting pictures of the tlc matches that he wants another wwe run, also on every podcast he has done he says he wants to retire with the wwe, even on opie and anthony.
Ok they're pretty much freelancers, but still tna paid them a lot to fly to japan, they induct them into the hall of fame, despite the fact that they can't afford a crew and most of their talent isn't making shit, they buy them Rolex watches....never change Dixie.
My favorite part was that they challenged a team that isn't even on tna (making their tag division look second rate) doesn't even works in world 1 (also making them look inferior). I don't believe it's a work because it was cut from the broadcast and as far as I know world 1 isn't even gonna co promote with njpw, if they are then I'll be the first one to admit it.

In my opinion Bully took Dixie for everything she was worth, he became the focus of the company for 2 years then doesn't resigns because of the money, despite making it clear that he isn't resigning Dixie still flies him in with Dvon and gives them expensive watches.

I don't feel bad for Dixie Carter this whole weekend (along with the typhoon james Storm tweet) she proved that she's the biggest idiot in Wrestling's history, she makes herb Abrams look like Vince McMahon.

I'd feel worse but Hogan played her sooo bad Bully looks like nothing in comparison. And he has been there forever so I think his heart has been in the right place mostly.

[Wolfman Rose]

AFter the number of times TNA has screwed their guys over, I can't help but feel this is karma.

You are talking about a company who inducted Team 3D with only one member under an actual contract, than said member's contract runs out so you are forced to resign him as a stop gap. Said Team then basically goes into business for themselves

Yup, it was TNA that pigeonholed themselves by announcing that Team 3D would go into their oh-so-prestigious Hall of Fame despite the fact that Bully's contract was up before the event took place. Of course Bully was going to play them like a fiddle, just as he should.

[Mozenrath]

Given that Bully was one of the few guys of value who stuck with them as long as he did and gave them as much as he has, I don't feel like he owed them particularly much.

Bully Ray turns on Devon yet again and they re-christen the group "The Bully Club"

What was this James Storm tweet?

She tweeted out a photo of a Photoshop of James Storm's head, calling it a "storm" warning during Japan was being hit by a typhoon.

Well...Dixie first tweeted something related to the Typhoon headed for Japan in an attempt to promote TNA's BFG. A bit later she more crassly used it to promote TNA by superimposing James Storm's face over the storm.  

Some people (Myself included) believe that using a probable disaster (That literally has the phrase "Threatens Millions" in the picture you chose to use) to promote ANOTHER possible disaster (That fans believe may Threaten "Hundreds"....literally anyone that's watching) may see that at being in poor taste.

Basically Dixie tweeted something along the lines that japan shouldn't be worried about a typhoon, but they should fear the Storm that is coming, James Storm. She deleted it later.


Ok Bully also tweeted that he was happy for the new challenges ahead, and when a door closes a new one opens. I think that last night, team 3d had the most glorious exit since Hulk leaved with Dixie throwing a temper tantrum and latched herself at his legs begging him not to go. LOLTNA

....if I were the Dudley Boyz I would check that the Rolex watches aren't fake, I don't know how dixie afforded it, she should've kept one and offered it to CM Punk to sweeten the deal and convince him to join TNA.

Bully also probably had a lot to do with Velvet Sky inexplicably getting a spot on the BFG card. Dude got a hell of a deal.

[Andrew is Good]

I feel Muta probably wasn't too impressed with the Bullet Club deal. Muta from what I gather isn't the best promoter, but he's also someone who doesn't take shit from people, so I wonder if that deal would have burnt a bridge with Muta and Wrestle-1 if he was to use them in the future. That is, of course, if it wasn't allowed, as it could have been allowed and fine.

Dixie of course is a moron and a complete non factor, will let big stars take advantage of her and is generally clueless. One interesting thing is with Jeff Jarrett being in the Bullet Club, I wonder if GFW gets off the ground, that this may've been a deal where Bully Ray was starting an angle to go forward in GFW if it were to start up.

I don't think Team 3D would head to New Japan right now. I think they have their gaijin fill, at least in the tag team and heavyweight division (though I could totally see them doing a one off maybe against Gallows and Anderson). But if that's the case, it would be kinda funny, using a TNA pay per view to promote a potential GFW angle.

He got free flying tickets for his best buddies (devon and dreamer) and his girl, he even got her a payday (he wore velvet after that), he guaranteed himself a njpw booking, got a free Rolex, and if that wasn't enough he got paid, all in a days work. Man Bully is a freaking gangsta.

GFW as of now is no more than a real life version of EWR. Until they do something notable they sholdn't be treated as a serious threat to anyone or a legitimate promotion that people can go to.

I'm all about wrestlers knowing their worth, but with TNA's limited funds, all he's doing is screwing over the rest of the boys. Whatever he managed to squeeze out of Dixie could've gone to the rest of the roster and crew.

And Velvet sky showed the TNA fans how much she loved them by giving the Japanese fans a crappy match and even a crappy finisher, by tapping out ASAP, and it looked like it was a shoot, not a work, the way she just left the ring. The announcers sounded confused, like it was not to end this way. I am sure Havok and Muta is happy about that.

Yeah, but it wasn't the roster and crew that booked a tag team series or advertised him for Bound for Glory in Japan despite his contract expiring before either event would conclude.

No. No it wouldn't. AJ's didn't go anywhere else, Sting's didn't go elsewhere and Angle's won't leave her bank account when/if he turns them down. 3D getting a few extra grand a piece and a ticket to Japan because Dixie and Co. cannot work a calendar didn't change a thing, especially when they are shutting down until Jan., if not for good. Anything they can save, they are going to save. The money doesn't get moved to two or three other people, it gets moved into a looked how much I saved by low balling people account.

Exactly how does Bully owe anything to anybody? I can guarantee nobody in that lockerroom is mad at him for getting his. You look out for yourself and your family first. Any wrestler or fan that tried to fault the man for not taking what he's given would have to be either incredibly naive or very much "unwise", so to speak.

And most importantly, I'm uncomfortable telling someone what to do with their money or trying to tell them they don't need or deserve what they get. The man got what he got, and if they were willing to give it to him, more power to him.
