Team 3D got the best send off by the crowd itself, but if we are talking about TNA booking, Sabu did. He was the one who had everybody cutting promos about how great he was.
That was just Dreamer, Dreamer does that to EVERYONE. Anytime he picks up a mic he hypes the shit out of someone. If you guys listened to the commentators, all Tenay and Taz did were completely sell the shit out of Team 3D and their career like NEVER before, for 30 minutes, opposed to Tommy Dreamer's 30 second speech on Sabu, lol.
I might have been influenced by this column I read, but the author of it made some excelent points about this PPV I tend to agree with:
-RVD was paranoid that it was Tommy Dreamer the one who would betray him....yet somehow, just because they had a "hardcore" match and RVD won, suddenly Dreamer is one not to suspect from.
Idk, maybe he felt and old bond rekindle or like the whole point was to 'knock sense' into the other. Plus, he practically broke his wrist or w/e so he was willing to empathize. Who the hell cares.
- Why the hell did the Congregation waited so long to turn on Pope? They even beat Abyss down before the turn. It was too "prepared". What would have happened if Pope had won the match before the turn?
Uh, they didn't attack the Abyss, go rewatch the match. This is another stupid point, idk why you would agree with this or if you or this guy even watched the PPV/match. They always pretty much threw him back in. I thought it was Blue that they weren't then it later made sense. Even if they did hit him a couple times, it's to set up the later shock on Pope. It's done a million times in wrestling, especially WWE, nothing new lol.
- Cheating is just so common in TNA than Robbie E. cheating to win the belt was completely ignored by everyone. The announcers didnt even bother to sell disgust at it.
Didn't really see the end, but in response, it's because the commentators suck. They barely sell any finishing moves, their enthusiasm randomly diminishes in the midst of matches, look at the end of MCMG/Team 3D. People down-talk Cole, but neither of these guys can call play-by-play half as good as him or good at all. And Tenay is an old, ugly, useless fuck who really just needs to fuck off. Taz can at least be funny, creates some witty and subtle jokes, and doesn't completely butcher things as much. He's also the color, so it's easier, though. I thought he was gonna completely heel once, still kinda do, and be the traitor guy around RVD that Bischoff was talking about. Then Kevin Nash returns and goes to the booth to be the tweener or something for a 3-man.
- Sabu's send off makes no sense business wise. They were hyping and praising the hell out of a guy on his way out of the company. Classy? Maybe. But it makes no sense in the course of the storylines.
What? Again, who the hell cares. He's an extremely renown wrestler who's helped TNA on multiple occasions and could possibly be taken a long hiatus or leaving wrestling for good. Does it really fucking matter? Is the WWE gonna snag him? No, and even if they do, big deal. Honestly. This is the kinda stupid nitpicky shit which 'smarks' set and process about wrestling that is truly pathetic. Does this guy think the WWE should have just fired Ric Flair on the spot and escorted him out with security? Or does that somehow make sense in the course of a storyline in his deranged mind over one of the legends of a TNA group being forced to leave the company (against his will) due to losing a match (basically, the same thing).
Btw, I was mainly directing my post to that dude who wrote the column, if it seemed too hostile.
