I'm glad Bully resigned.

I also didn't like the idea from the get go. Heyman's involvement in WWE right now seems to get be to get behind the next cash cow. I think more so this could lead to Punk v.s Lesnar without any real alignments behind it. Bringing in the Dudley's just because of their relationship with Heyman doesn't seem to work with this current thing he is doing. It looks like backtracking just for what bodyguards with a familiar relationship? I'm sure if I scoured over a list of names I'd find a bunch that would fit this current situation better. People that Heyman could use to make more money, The Dudley's at their age would end up getting overexposed in a top feud too fast and probably fall to obscurity within 2 months. Also the internet would turn on this in a week so you should make sure to point that out as good as some people are making the idea look great here, they would hate it once WWE implemented their own way.

Maybe I'm biased or something for the fact that Bully Ray is having the greatest run of this life. I don't know but to give up what he's doing to become a stooge and then forgotten about later in the cluttered midcard that is WWE just doesn't seem like the best option for him overall... If he wants a legacy for himself instead of just another pile of cash.

This was only when Bully and Devon were unsure of signing new contracts with TNA, Bully looks to be signing a new deal, Devon looks to be retiring pretty soon. Would have been a really interesting angle to do if Bully wasn't that over as one of the top heels, it would also be an ideal way for both of them to round off their careers.

Mind you, that is just my opinion.

I still don't think Bully is going to get the title even if he continues to get a strong looking main event push. He seems more like a foil to the champion, rather than being the actual champion.

Don't see where D-Von would fit in as a solo wrestler with WWE so I think there is a good chance he takes a agent job and use his 3D academy in conjunction with WWE.

Devon could always go on NXT, and be a rookie, Or they can bring him back as Reverend D-Von i always liked that gimmick.

D-Von has 2 sons who are trying to break into the buisiness, he could always manage them, and WWE is rebuilding its tags, where TNA are letting them go to shit.

Also, Spike could always get hired to run a Dudleys team again, Bubba & Spike pulled it off, why not D-Von & Spike.

He still has a much better chance of being TNA champion than WWE champion. I do think he will win the title before long just not as soon as some might think. Besides this is just a two year contract which gives him enough time to see out his main event run and then maybe retire with WWE and a HOF/Dudley's reunion packege.

No he doesn't. I actually preferred him as Festus rather than Gallows.

I'm pretty sure he did as well, and will probably be the guy Aries wrestles tonight at the PPV.

I remember he had a nice brawl with Undertaker as Festus... Never got the chance as Gallows to put on anything that great. WWE blew it when it came to SES fallout and just buried him.

Could have sworn that match with 'Taker was as Gallows; I'll have to look that up.
