10 Things TNA Wants You To Forget About Abyss

4. Slay Misty For Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRFEZKNd7gM One of Abyss' more extended rivalries was with Black Reign, who was Goldust with black face paint instead of gold and a pet rat called Misty instead of gay panic. Armed with little more than ill-defined mental illness and a spooky theme song, Reign was paired with Abyss in a series of truly terrible street fights. Aside from foisting the dreaded Rellik -- which, as we know, Don, is "killer" spelled backwards -- on TNA fans, this rivalry also introduced one of the stupidest weapons in wrestling history. At Genesis 2007, in a "Shop of Horrors" match, Abyss produced a plywood board with mousetraps glued to it. He then attempted to chokeslam Misty, an actual, normal sized rat, onto the panel. Also, Shop of Horrors Match? Abyss really has copied Kane's entire career, right down to the tangential involvement of evil dentistry.
