The Official Aces & Eights Thread

[Shockage]

My point is that the only thing that gets you posting is when you need to critique a genre that you don't identify with, it gets repetitively miserable. Find something about wrestling worth celebrating now and then, even if it means not posting in the TNA section and spending time in the indy section.

We have enough Hogan's in the TNA section. We need a Dibiase and I seem to be of the few, sometimes only one, willing to take the job. How do I not ID with the genre? If I don't watch it I read detailed results. When I do watch it I find myself with your average not regular watcher, thus I have to explain how we got to this point. And this is the Aces and 8's thread. Just so you know I am not all downing I will post what I liked about the show in the iMPACT thread.

[Shockage]

The masks are slowly coming off. As it stands we have The Black, The Bald and the Burly. I hope in time they uncover some smaller guys to integrate into the X Division.

[The Indy Junkie]

is it just me or is Knox fatter than he was?

[Shockage]

I remember when Knox was first showed up on the new ECW he was skinny, and after the Benoit murder/suicide and congress forcing WWE to put together the wellness policy he got burly. Now he's tubby.

[El Weasel]

Yeah, I was thinking that he was significantly bigger/fatter.

[El Weasel]

Also, just curious about this. Does anyone else feel like it's a little bit weird that the announcers talk about how these guys used to be with WWE like it's a big deal that they were in WWE? To me it makes it look like WWE is so much bigger and better the way they promote them. In reality WWE is bigger, but I would think that they would be trying to show themselves as superior to WWE, not in awe of their castoffs. Maybe it's just me nitpicking, but it's something that bothers me a little.

[Shockage]

The way they acknowledged Bald & Burley as being from the WWE isn't quite as big deal as previous WWE defectors in the past (that's one of the things I hated about TNA putting over ex-WWE guys). The way Tenay acknowledged Knox as an ex WWE guy was more like a glossing over the guy's history.

So Taz is revealed as a member of Aces & Eights. It makes me wonder if Taz has been using his Gut Check judging position to recruit members (accepted and rejected) are already under masks.

It also puts an end to the speculation behind Al Snow's disappearance during one of the Gut Check results.

[wolfie27]

I just don't really understand Tazz's position with the Aces and 8's. Hopefully they will make something up that actually makes sense. I just hope it's not another nWo where there is 5 different versions because everyone wanted to join. I just have a feeling something is going to ruin this whole Aces and 8's angle and this just maybe it.

[Shockage]

Wouldn't it be cool if during the UK tapings one of the British Boot Campers is revealed as a member.

It's come out of nowhere. Taz has been with TNA for 3 years and there's been no hostility towards the company. But I do like how it's affecting the road agents and interfering with their projects.

[Maximo]

I was thinking Spud as the skinny small guy, but his build is off.

[Shockage]

Marty wouldn't join because it would mean masking his beautiful face.

[Goldie79]

At the pace of the Aces & Eights angle is going.... there will be more than enough time to draft in the British boot camp winner (if its Marty/Spud)

[Shockage]

When the Boot Campers met Hulk Hogan, Spud was the only one who said hat he grew up as a Hulkamaniac. It would be cool if the rivalry between Marty/Spud continued into TNA, Spud tries everything to get into Aces & Eights because of his love for Hogan and his attitude, but Aces end up taking Marty (and the Blossoms instead). Marty gets so upset that he vows revenge, and he recruits the X-Division to go after at least one member of the group, and they really mess the guy up.

[Shockage]

Aces & Eights just added 2 new members, the PG-13 of the Nation of Domination and Vincent of the NWO - Garrett Bischoff and Wes Brisco.

[The Indy Junkie]

So lethal lockdown has been shown completely: Aces & 8's D-Von, DOC, KNox, GB & WB vs. Sting, Bully, Kurt, Joe, PArks or Hardy. Meaning team tna will be carrying the match.

[Mr. Tambourine Man]

Can I just say, for all my love for TNA.....

Aces & Eight's is like everything that was wrong with TNA before 2012. It makes no sense, they look bush league compared to everyone else, and it never ends!

Didn't they make a huge deal about how important the masks are with Doc and Knox before? Why did Garrett and Wes voluntarily unmask themselves? Furthermore, why were the masks so important to begin with?

[Shockage]

After seeing how Joe and Angle easily fought off Wes & Garrett and how they quickly retreated, I hope those two become to Aces & Eights what PG-13 were to the Nation of Domination - easy prey that gets tossed around like raggedy Anne dolls as the rest of the stable retreat.

[Shockage]

My bet is that the guy that Angle unmasked at the end of Impact is Joseph Park.

[El Weasel]

It's gonna have to be a big guy, so that would fit. A 3rd persona would be interesting to see how that would work. I think that as long as he isn't revealed until Lockdown that it could be Samoa Joe with him turning on Team TNA. A heel turn and a shot at Jeff Hardy/Bully Ray down the line while Aries and Roode are busy trying to win all the titles in the company could be possible.

[Shockage]

TNA used the recent Impact to plant a few seeds on a few suspects; Bobby Roode went missing during the show, Joseph Park was only seen at the beginning of the show eating ribs, and you never know he's probalby misled everyone into buying into his goofy act, AJ Styles showed up in that video looking rough with a grown beard on a motorbike, and Joe's been awfully silent since day one to the point where Joe seems to be there just to make up the numbers.

[flame3169118]

I'm still going with D'lo, before Bound for Glory someone was letting them into the building and D'lo is working as a backstage agent giving him access to behind the scenes knowledge

[Shockage]

I would punch the wall if it was D'lo, judging by Kurt's reaction, the person was very close to him "HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO TNA?", that's why I think it's Joseph Park or even Samoa Joe.

[wolfie27]

Hey...never mind D'Lo....maybe he was going to get blamed by Al Snow...who could be behind the mask....
