I have to admit, as big a detractor I am of Team 3D in general, and Bubba Ray in specific, they are doing great work with Lethal, MCMG, and especially Johnny Devine. They've taken a 4th string jobber, and turned him into someone people actually give a crap about. something which Raven failed to do To be fair they didn't give Serotonin any TV time to make people give a crap...

IMO they're turning Devine into mini-Edge, which to me works because he looks like Edge and has A LOT of his mannerisms.

Matt Bentley shed light on this in that they had a program ready but then TNA played the "we need two hours" card, IIRC

Too bad about Sting, honestly. He can still go when he wants too, and he's a decent name for TNA, but if he's done, so be it, at least it gives another main event slot for a young guy. I'll honestly be sorry to see him go. I really wanted to see a Sting/Joe match one time before he left. They never had one? I remember when TNA gave all sorts of main events away for free (Kurt vs Sting, Kurt vs AJ, Kurt vs [fill in the blank] main eventer ). Still, a match between the two would have kicked some ass, probably.

good to finally hear some praise for ol' bubba, possibly the best heel in wrestling atm I agree. Team 3D may never be able to equal their insane heel run in ECW for a variety of reasons, but I'll be damned if I'm not enjoying their current heel run. I really like how they are slowly beginning to confront the fans, rip up signs, and berate the fans in promos.

1. Well it's too bad Scott Hall's return didn't work out but I don't really believe there was a spot for him in TNA after Turning Point anyways outside of an Outsiders reunion.
2. It's too bad Sting might be done in TNA because for someone as respected as him he didn't get the proper farewell. The guy could still go for his age and I agree a Joe/Sting match would have totally reeked of awesomeness.
3. Too many times have I heard the rumor "There are plans to use Ron Killings". Anybody remember when they talked about putting him in the X-Division in 2005? Does anybody remember how many weeks that lasted? What about Killings movie parody gimmick? I know he got injured but what the hell was that gimmick even about?
4. I imagine Rhino may not have very much time left in TNA. He just doesn't seem like a guy that they know what to do with. They threw him with Chris Harris as a team but that didn't work out and now nobody really knows whether Harris is heel or face.
5. Kevin Nash AND now Brother Ray are joys backstage? I think that's great to hear considering the bad reputation these guys tend to have. Team 3D as mentioned before is doing a great job getting the X-Division over right now. That's saying something, they aren't just getting one or two guys over but 4 who needed it.

Mike Johnson is reporting that there are future plans for Ron Killings in TNA Wrestling. While we do not have the full details as to what the plans are, Johnson was able to confirm that his name was brought up in the most recent TNA creative meeting. I hope Ron Killings is paired with Consequences Creed in a stable lead by Booker T. They could be a group of angry, dancing, militant black men. There's not enough stereotyping in TNA. The Team 3D/LAX feud was a good start, but we need more felonious Italians, sneering Frenchmen & mist-spraying Asians. Come on TNA, you can do it!

There is nothing more on Sting’s status with TNA Wrestling other than he has not accepted the contract that TNA offered him for 2008. Sting was scheduled to work the upcoming TNA shows in Mexico; however, with them being cancelled he could be done with the company for good. B-b-but... He's still got it... *clap-clap-clapclapclap*

The Dudleys needed that heelturn badly. They've been significantly more entertaining since, especially in ther feud with the X-division. In a way this "team player" bit is smart. It is keeping them on tv every week.
Truth and Consequences would be a great addition to the tag-ranks. Hell I wouldn't mind seeing Killings in the X-division. I hope they do something with him.
