Dieting Dudleys
Those of you that don't watch TNA are missing out on one of the more entertaining storylines right now.
Brother Ray and Brother Devon, collectively known as Team 3D, are on a forced diet. After losing their match at Against All Odds, the stipulation now states that Team 3D cannot work matches if they're over 275 pounds.
Yes, we know the chances of Brother Ray being anywhere near 275 pound is pretty hard to believe, but this is just for the storyline.
So far, Team 3D has taken turns failing the weight limit. Brother Ray failed it one week while Brother Devon failed it another week. This week, they both failed.
On TNA iMPACT! this week, Team 3D was shown in several hilarious video segments featuring them going to various places with food. There was a classic scene where their sidekick, the talented Johnny Devine, has to reprimand them for stuffing their mouths with candy.
Our words can't fully do justice for how entertaining these segments have been.
Brother Ray is still one of the best talkers in the business. He's doing a fantastic job of getting the diet storyline over. |
The Forgotten
We know it's a bit taboo to priase Team 3D because they're working for TNA. A lot of fans automatically look down upon them because of where they work. If it helps, there's a lot of people that beleive that Team 3D will be back in WWE after their contract expires in TNA towards the end of the year.
Anyways, the biggest praise Brother Ray and Brother Devon have been given this year is for their work with bringing exposure to both the X division and the tag team division.
Their last program did a superb job of elevating TNA X Division Champion Jay Lethal. It was also doing a lot for the credibility of the Motor City Machine Guns, but unfortunately, some backstage issues are about to derail their momentum. Johnny Devine himself has received some exposure as well just by being aligned with Team 3D.
Well now, Team 3D has been given the task of putting over Curry Man and Shark Boy. Neither guy is going to be challenging Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship any time soon, but they're still a big part of the mid card scene. A lot of puzzled fans saw the light after finding out that underneath the mask was the ultra respected Christopher Daniels. Shark Boy has been a hot topic as of late as well because of his impersonation of Stone Cold Steve Austin; an impersonation that Steve Austin himself has no problems with.
After these two teams have their match at Destination X, Brother Ray and Brother Devon should be rewarded with another run with the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
Closing Thoughts
A lot of people have written off Team 3D, but they're still showing that they still got it. |
