I totally agree, no one will bat an eyelid to Devon leaving but
I think it would be a big mistake TNA would regret, if they
didn't hold onto Bully Ray, hes just golden. =)

So on one hand you want to go backwards and reunite team 3d but
on the other you want Ray to keep doing what he is doing?! Make
your mind up girl!

don't feel he adds much to TNA other than being Bully Rays less
talented partner, It has been a massive waste to have the TV
title on him when theres guys like Jeff Hardy floundering
without a clear storyline, heck even Robbie E made a more
entertaining champion.

Bully Ray, hes been one of TNAs biggest characters this year and
who would've guessed in 2012 Bubba Ray would be one of the best
heels in the biz today, I love his Calfzillah thing, his
"Twittah Machine" jokes. It'd be a huge blow to TNA, to lose
him..

Harsh but fair.
The truth of the matter is Devon has not evolved enough and like
the dinosaurs hes becoming extinct. It happens to a lot of great
tagteams when they split. When Demolition split Smash tried to
become Repo Man and failed dismally. When Powers of Pain split
they didn't evolve enough and failed. Even the great Jim
Neidhart couldn't make the transition. Marty Janetty couldn't
really do it. Its sad, Devon isn't a bad wrestler and he doesn't
suck but he couldn't make the grade. Its a sad fact of life. I'm
sorry but out the door...

i heard the news about devon leaving tna, it's such a shame that
he is leaving i would have thought that he would negotiate with
them and do a deal but to of no avail, he will be sorely missed

Yeah, sad to say if Bully went, I'd be really very sad because
of just how much work he's put into becoming this new character
and style. He's a brilliant heel, so much so it's sometimes hard
to remember when he just one of two in a tag team. His
reinvention is masterful. Devon alas has always really had a bit
of a tough time in singles competition. He tried hard in WWE,
and maybe he got a bit of notice with his corrupt preacher
thing, but still didn't really leave a memorable mark. As the
Dudley Boys, he was great, but I just don't think he knows what
to do with himself alone. Could however see him turning up with
some new blood tag team as their mentor somewhere. That'd be
pretty exciting.
As for TNA losing top stars....yeah and no. The KOs certainly
have had a bit of a dent lately, but think they're patching up
the cracks a little, whereas the male competitors they've got a
lot of young and new talent coming in. Looking at the proposed
new folks plus the gutcheck guys, it's likely they've taken on
twice as many as they've lost. Might well be green behind the
ears, but hey, we always wanted fresh blood. This is just a bit
more of the old leaving is all, and heck, that's what a lot of
people were crying out for anyhow.

I don't know really. Reckon Roode, Storm, AJ, Joe, A Double and
the like have reached a point of prestige whereby they could
carry TNA as the leaders without the need for Old Skool former
WWE and WCW stars. We've often said if we had to scrap all the
oldies, the only ones worth keeping are Angle and Bully Ray with
possibly Sting in a GM role. Hardy still has plenty of life in
him and he makes the girls squeal, so guess keeping him too
would be advantageous. The only real thing I've noticed is that
the US crowd is different to the UK, so some of those that don't
really work for us, work really well over there instead.

What i was tryig to say Steven B was that Bully Ray is doing a
good job as heel right now, but TNA can easily reunite Team 3d
and have Bully keep doing what he's doing. A Tag team is a
partnership where they should both help each other to succeed,
whether its in singles or tag matches.
Just because Bully was in a tag team, it doesnt mean he cant
also be a singles wrestler too!
