Yes. After not caring so much about neither member of Team 3-D, I have came to the conclusion that Bubba is not only awesome, but could have a legit singles run as a heel. It makes me wonder why WWE turned D-Von heel instead of Bubba when they split up 3-D.

Bubba really knows what buttons to push, how to get heat, how to deliver on the mic and everything else that is asked of from a heel. He's been doing this well since the ECW days (which was pretty awesome stuff), but lately I've really become a fan of Bubba. He's single handedly carrying 3-D btw.

His mic work is really entertaining, perhaps the best heel talker in TNA at the moment (and definitely top 3 imo). When he retires I'd love him to stay on as a manager because he'd be great at it in a James Mitchell-esque way.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall WWE ever giving him a proper stage on the mic, even at the height of his tag push.

ya i have to say bubba is one of the best on the mic, they have real mic power with cage, bubba, steiner, angle 4 of the best still going imo.

bubba is one of the best talkers in wrestling today. i laughed my arsed off at victory road when bubba done a superkick and shouted 'I BET NO-ONE KNEW I HAD THAT ONE IN ME, DID YA' hahahaha. it was classic

ps. team 3d should NEVER break up

speaking of retirement, he would be best suited for 3rd commentator. The one thing I miss is the heel commentator. TNA needs a new voice and Bubba would be perfect!

Nikhil42 · 07-15-2008, 10:55 AM

Bubba or Trigg would be a great permanent third commentator IMO.

**austinrockera** · 07-15-2008, 11:05 AM

Bubba got his push stopped when he had neck/arm problems in a program with HHH... like he said in an interview, he messed up with the golden boy = push over.

On the mic, I put him as the best in TNA right now. His stuff is golden. D-Von has always been the 'enforcer' of 3D... kinda like Hawk was to Animal in LOD... Animal would do the majority of the talking, and Hawk would say a few catchy things, promo over.

Never split up 3D... D-Von wouldn't make it big, and Bubba is just better with a tag team IMO.

Well with Devon possibly out for the next few weeks he might have to go alonewhich could be interesting. He is definitly one of the best talkers out there and as someone said above, I too would absolutly love for Bubba to become the color commentater on iMPACT (when he retires from wrestling) as a heel as well, kind of Lawler esque criteria 2000 but still with his own personality.

rcwilson17 · 07-15-2008, 11:48 AM

I wouldn't say Bubba is single handly carrying the team as D-Von when given the mic is damn awesome himself. Both are very good, but Bubba can come off as a asshole better (prob cause he comes off that way sometimes to people outside of the ring according to himself, lol) these two are two of the most entertaining people to me in TNA atm.

***Headliner*** · 07-15-2008, 11:53 AM

I don't think 3-D should break up either and I wasn't implying that. I was just saying that he has the tools to have a legit singles run.

He doesn't seem to get a lot of credit compared to guys like Christian.
