10 SICK & TWISTED Wrestling Funerals

5. Team 3D Live (And Die) On Planet Jarrett

A joke heel bit that sadly got weaker the longer it went on, much of an extended funeral vignette dedicated to the careers of Brother Ray and Brother D-Von shortly after their TNA arrivals was lost to some over-familiar anti-WWE spite.

That's not to say the company shouldn't have taken a few swings at their enormous opposition once in a while, but the swipes had gotten so common by the time this took place in 2005.

America's Most Wanted led proceedings having battered them on TV in an effort to apparently protect the integrity of TNA whilst chasing money and power alongside Jeff Jarrett. With Team Canada (and their black hockey sticks), James Mitchell, Abyss, Gail Kim and Jarrett himself in attendance and cracking jokes, the whole thing promptly became a knockabout until they teased Kevin Nash as the group's next victim.

Apropros of just about nothing, sh*tfaced James Storm attempted to p*ss in the coffin, in case the tone wasn't crystal clear.
