The weeks leading up to Slammiversary we saw videos of Abyss at a mental health care facility and he was basically being pushed as being more of a psychotic monster than ever before. Saying they thought he was fixed but he wasn't.
Ok, let's fast forward to Slammiversary and iMPACT this week. We see two appearances by Abyss saving two of the babyface darlings of TNA (Kaz and AJ). Even checking on Kaz then carrying him out of the arena at Slammiversary. Is it just me or does this seem rather odd? I know they wanted him to return as a face but this isn't really the tendencies of a strong monster character. They basically took everything they pushed in those videos, fluched it down the toilet and we're back to the same Abyss we saw before he left for a while, imo anyway.
Why didn't they just have him return during the King of the Mountain match, destroy everyone in site (Nash included? Why not eh?), allow Joe to recover and win the match and then Abyss could have entered a fued with some bitter heel from that match (Roode likely) and he'd still be a face and he'd still be the psychic monster they were pushing.
I don't know, I just was rather unsatisfied with his return, based on what the videos were suggesting anyway. Anyone else have thoughts about this? I'm not really sure what was said in the discussion thread for Slammiversary about his return. Maybe I'm missing something.
