Taz hands Bully a razor blade.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Bully uses the blade to cut the ring apron to slam Sting on it, instead of just cleaving up Sting with it.

Anyone think this was rather odd?

[Toxik916]

I hought that whole sequence was stupid. Why the f*** would he expose the wooden planks on the ring when he could have just piledriven sting on the ramp or the floor?

It seems every time I try and watch TNA something dumb happens and I can't take it seriously. Hell the last time I tried watching TNA Sting held Eric Bischoff prisoner with a f***ing guard bird.

TNA isn't going the ECW route, so slicing up Sting wasn't going to happen, but regarding TNA writing and storylines, I honestly think that over the last couple of tapings, they really have been doing it on the fly. They've had the Aces & 8s hammer that's bee passed around all the time, and actually might have made sense, but instead, they decide to go this route. My guess is they thought it would build anticipation and drama. Will Bully injury Sting by pile driving him into the wood?

If a match is no holds barred, the use of a razor blade is legal. It goes to what Scott Hall said years ago. Don't introduce weapons that extremely dangerous that make no sense in the context of pro wrestling. Remember when Samoa Joe was walking around with his butcher knife and threatening folks with it. I don't get how piledriving Sting on wooden planks is less dangerous than one on the ramp.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

For the record, I don't really have a problem with exposing the hardwood on the ring apron to amplify a Piledriver. I just think it's silly to bring up the possibility of using a razor blade in a match, but only go for something that would be less devastating and more time consuming to set up.

[Bram wants to 'urt you]

There was only one good thing to come out of that - while Taz was handing Bully the knife (and receiving it back) he was momentarily distracted from speaking. And anything which causes Taz to not speak, however briefly, is a good thing.

Holy exaggeration Batman!

it'd be better than handing Hogan the blade in which he blades himself, bubba ray, sting, the ref, taz, tenay, the top rope and 5 people in the front row then makes the comeback.

I didn't see the match, but I guess you could argue that using a blade to expose wooden boards is one thing and in the confines of a no DQ wrestling match but using an actual blade in a match on an opponent could get you fired or arrested.

No, sadly, the Hostage Taking Bird was all too real.

Could be, but then you would remember in No DQ matches people trying to stab each other with screwdrivers or even better, Abyss with a baseball bat that has nails trying to use it on people. Seriously, bringing in a box cutter to a match was incredibly stupid and my suspension of belief was gone at that point when he had that and did not try to use it on Sting.

yeah, plus...at wrestlemania triple h's way of "ending the streak" was to hold undertakers head down with his foot and bash his head in with a sledgehammer...while his born again christian friend was forced to watch this attempted murder happen in the corner of the ring....

I remember facepalming so hard at that. I don't know why that match gets so much praise.

This. But in hindsight, he should have given the razor to Sting because the blade would turn on him and stab himself.

Hostage Taking Bird was a hero to millions.
