No Surrender: Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt

[Y 2 Jake]

LADDER OF LOVE MATCH
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal vs. "The Guru" Sonjay Dutt​

If somebody can't explain to me why this isn't simply called a Ladder Match, I'd be grateful. So I'm assuming this is something stupid like Val hanging over the ring. Or maybe it'll be like at Genesis where they had a contract, a contract for Val's love. Because that's how you nail chicks. Or at least I do.

If it's a contract TNA will probably fuck up the same way they did at Genesis. Nothing but a couple of pieces of paper on a clipboard. The wrestler tries to grap it, and the paper falls off. Then much stupidity as the wrestler is told not to get the contract, but the clipboard. Dumb shit.

They literally (apparently) are going to hang a wedding ring above the ring. Val said on an addition of Karen's Angle that she was going to take the engagement ring off, and hang it above the ring. She said the person who can climb the ladder and get it first.. gets to marry her.

I can't tell you have much I laughed. It's like a piss-poor episode of "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire". Without any of the people involved being rich. Val is basically ****ing herself out by even claiming she's so fed up, she'll just 'marry' whoever gets the ring first.

How hard is it for Val to say she either loves Lethal (which I'm pretty sure is what started this whole thing) or she doesn't love him anymore, and questions emotions for Dutt?

Stupidity isn't even the word for what describes this feud anymore. I mean, the shear concept of Val marrying whoever wins is ******ed and instantly leads you to believe Dutt will win, because we already tried having a wedding with Val and Lethal.. so now Lethal can interrupt the 2nd one, and piss Dutt off.

So now what will happen is that Lethal & Dutt will be trying to grap something that the fans at the show and on TV probably won't be able to see? I love it, it's great. They'll do the whole match, which will be solid, but ruined by all of the Val close ups. They'll do the finish as planned. But oh no, wait, the ring, where is it? Lethal will then have to pretend that he's got the ring and we'll hear the chants of ''Fire Russo''.

To be perfectly honest, this storyline started out nicely. I was highly enjoyed by it because it was a "tale of romance in wrestling". Now though, it's just a joke. So as a joke.. and because of how Val worded this match exactly..

Why not have Lethal and Dutt both out cold, only for one of two things to happen.

1. Val climbs in the ring, manages her way up the ladder and takes the ring back herself.. proclaiming she won't marry either man, and she's lesbian. (instant ratings boost)

2. Some unknown third party, like George 'The Animal' Steele makes another appearance, somehow gets ahold of the ring. And both Dutt and Lethal become friend's again, after seeing the girl they both wanted to sleep with.. end up in bed with a guy who knows how to properly use his tongue.

The only thing I've liked about this feud is that so far Val hasn't turned on Lethal. Each time I see her I expect it. Probably because it's TNA, or probably because that's what happens in wrestling.

Lethal is good even with the stupid gimmick and Dutt is solid. But this has by far been the worst feud of the year. It would have been so easy for them to have a couple of decent matches, but it's just not happened. It's almost as bad as Sting vs. Abyss from last year.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I knew it would happen. I was surprised that TNA held it off as long as they did. But finally Val turned on Lethal. So now she's gone from a wrestler that looks like a stray cat, to one with a Hulk Hogan hairline. Great choice either way.

I'm hoping this leads to a more serious Lethal now. If he could stop doing the Savage gimmick that would be great. He needs to move on as a performer.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

I'm completely believing this is going to lead Lethal into being exactly what his name is, Lethal. Val turning on Jay wasn't anything short of seen by the whole world.. so when she did it, I think the only person with a surprised look on their face was Val herself when she tried playing it off at the end.

Honestly though, just like Jake said.. you knew Val had to turn on Lethal, the storyline was already preplanned that way like ohh.. over 10 years ago?! The sad thing is.. we're gonna get 1 of 2 possible things with this.

1. Another Wedding, that as I predicted I'm sure Jay Lethal will interrupt. If he doesn't, I'd be surprised, but having Val and Dutt actually marry might not be a bad idea. It'll at least allow them to have a storyline that turns them against each other later after Lethal moves on to better things.

2. More Dutt/Lethal matches. I'm still waiting for the "First Blood" match that's going to be renamed into a "Cut the Cake" match. Or possibly the "Honeymoon in Hell" in which Lethal and Dutt will be inside a 6 sides of steel match? The stupid names are almost endless, just like this feud seems to be.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

What's sad is that you're right Will. At Bound For Glory they'll face each other again. In a match that really should be better. Is this even supposed to be a serious feud? They play it like it is. But you've got Jay Lethal as Randy Savage, but in attire made by his mother. You just can't take it seriously.

 

[etc]

How long has this fued been going on its so ******ed that it doesn't make sense anymore. Is Val really worth fighting over for? Shes not even that hot and looks like a monkey's ass when she gets close ups cause her cheeks are always red and her face is shaped like a square

I'll admit I was looking forward to this fued when it started cause Sonjay could get a push and Lethal could finally remove the "Black Machismo" gimmick but for shits sake, they made both guys like like desperate dicks looking for some pussy. I wouldn't even jump off a ladder for a Val nonetheless get a neckbreaker onto a ladder...
