TNA's Creative Expands, Abyss Joins The Booking Team 11/14/2007 by Keelan Balderson Source: PWTorch TNA's booking/creative team has recently expanded officially taking on Mike Tenay and then welcoming Jeremy Borash and reportedly Abyss! The committee now includes Jarrett at the top, followed by Dutch Mantel, then Vince Russo compiling the actual scripts. Tenay and Borash offer a second opinion and Abyss is "sitting in." This apparently hasn't changed any of the politics and the process continues to be a mish mash of ideas and opinions, each person having their own favorites. www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=197084568I don't know what kind of experience Abyss has in booking but good for him.

LOL, Abyss should attend booking meeting in character.
Jarrett: "So that's my idea, what do you guys think?"
Russo: "Not bad, I'm sure we can put something up on a pole toward the feud climax."
Jarrett: "I'll get back to you. How about you big man, what do you think?"
Abyss: "RAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Abyss is TNA's Triple H? Wow. I would've guessed BG James.

I think the meetings always end with "So Abyss do you mind doing the thumbtack/glass spot again?"

I think the meetings always end with "So Abyss do you mind doing the thumbtack/glass spot again?" I'd think they actually end with Abyss doing a thumbtack spot.

Abyss: So...I was thinking I could avoid using the thumbtacks and glass for a while. It loses impact with the fans when it is done over and over and over again.
Russo: ...Riiiiiiiight...well...Dutch?
Dutch: No thumbtacks or glass? Ha. Next you'll be saying no to mousetraps and fire!
Abyss: Well...I was kind of hop...
Russo: IT'S DA POLITICS ALL OVA AGAIN!!!

I'd think they actually end with Abyss doing a thumbtack spot. that makes sense. i imagine however that abyss just sits in, and only chimes in asking how we can work him bleeding in the middle of the ring into the storyline.

I just picture Abyss landing on tacks all day.
"Gotta check my email. Woops, left tacks on my chair. Ouchies."
"Hop in the shower and ooh, that stung. Good thing I'll be able to easily clean it."
"Yeah, this is where we do the first Angle segm- what the hell? My notebook is covered in tacks. Who's doing this to me?!"

Now I can imagine Abyss with his mask on ... but wearing a suit.
Awesome.

Jarrett: "OK, here;s the plan. Kurt and Karen get into an argument, and Kurt gets in his car and leaves without her. But where should we go from there?"
Abyss: "How about Karen gets mad, so she puts my nuts in a C-clamp and throws me into a pit filled with broken glass. And there could be syringes in the pit too, like in that movie Saw."
Russo: "I loved that movie! What's Donny Wahlberg up to these days, I was thinking we could make him the X-Division champion."
***Black Reign bursts into the meeting***
Abyss: YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I can see it now
Jarrett: Ok at the end of this match Abyss will go though 15 tables into a pile of tacks, what say the rest of you?
Mantel: Aye
Russo: Aye
Tenay: Aye
Borash: Aye
Abyss: ......Nay
Jarrett: Who keeps saying that?

Abyss, when he was another gimmick, used to book a little promotion that ran here in Indianapolis. Good family shows and they drew about 250 a show, which is good for Indianapolis indy shows. He did well then with local goofs, now he has talent to use.
