Re: Aces and Eights

We aren't talking about him being the leader, at least I wasn't. We were talking about just being a part of it. If he was just a part of it, it wouldn't have mattered if he didn't resign.

Bully Ray seemed very concerned about what Parks finds out about Aces and 8s idk looking like a possible sleeper pick

Re: Aces and Eights

good writing for casual fans me im not buying it I know TNA to well

The fact that it gets people talking about the possibility of it being him is why it is good.

Re: Aces and Eights

Hey guys did you all see the short guy with his back turned to Hogan and Sting making the match for this Sunday. Its Eric Bischoff. Its EB all the way. I still think Hogan has something to do it. Bully Ray will turn on Sting and revealing EB is behind the whole thing...

Re: Aces and Eights

It wouldn't surprised me if EB was behind it.

I'm also expecting Bubba to turn on Sting, at least if the story turns out the way I'm expecting it.

Re: Aces and Eights

2 weeks ago when Hogan went to their little hideout, Eric was the one talking. I don't know if it supposed to be a secret to I am 100 percent sure that was Bischoff.

Yeah, that was totally Bischoff. Now it remains to be seen whether or not he ends up being in the group and not just used because they needed someone for the promo. I could see TNA just throwing him in there to throw people off the scent too.

Though, if we're speculating - anyone thinks TNA swerves for the sake of swerving tonight? I think it's pretty obvious that Bully Ray turns on Sting tonight. But, is it too obvious?

Re: Aces and Eights

Think this one might be written off as a failure. To this point it's only known who 3 of them are and 1/3 isn't even a known guy. They lost and still didn't reveal anything else. At this point I think it's only set up for disapointment when they are revealed. "It took this long it must be someone big!" will turn into "Who in the blue hell is this guy?".

Re: Aces and Eights

let me catch you all up with recent ace's & eights related news, Bully Ray didn't turn on Sting, at the end of that match several members of Ace's & 8's ran in and jumped Bully Ray and Sting (those members were Jay Bradley, Garrett Bischoff, Wes Brisco, Luke Gallows, Mike Knoxx and Devon) Hogan comes down and takes out all of them and rips off one of their masks revealing one of them to be Devon, three weeks later, another member's mask gets ripped off by Joseph Parks and reveals D.O.C. (Luke Gallows) and Devon beat Samoa Joe for the TV Title. i'm probably missind some but that's the most important parts covered, oh yeah and it was Eric Bischoff used as leader of Aces & 8's, youtube it and you'll find out

Looks like Taz is the leader or VP, nice twist.

Re: Aces and Eights

This storyline is still going after 4.5+ months? I don't know whether to be impressed or think they have nothing else to do.

Maybe they decided to end it at Lockdown, without having any plan on how to get there?

Re: Aces and Eights

It was only suppose to last 2 or 3 weeks, but they said they were so impressed in the reaction they got from it, they just kept it going.

I haven't seen Impact yet, so I'm disappointed about seeing the Taz thing, but I'm excited because I love whenever he gets extra face time.

Not sure what kind of reaction they thought they were getting from it, but sure as hell did not seem positive to me.

I think with Taz being one of the surprises, its a good thing. I'd rather have him be a mouthpiece for these guys than behind the booth where he has been getting obnoxious.

I think it was good for the first few weeks - classic mystery group attacking someone sets up a storyline.

It just seems like TNA didn't know what they were going to do with it after the initial attack. Too many Impact episodes have ended with a random brawl between TNA and Aces & Eights, with very little progression toward any kind of blow-off to this thing. I haven't seen every Impact since they started this story, but did they ever establish what A&8's wanted? Titles? Power? Respect? They won full access at BFG, and have done nothing with it. It's those types of things that bother me.

At this point, even Hogan is only quarter-assing a feud with them because he's still stuck verbally sparring with Daniels/Kazarian, disliking Bully Ray, and maybe still caring that Matt Morgan stole his cape?

Hopefully Taz as a spokesman gives them some kind of shot in the arm though - God knows they need it.
