Taz was recruited the Aces & 8's higher power (talk about dejavu this feels like 1999 all over again)

Tara retains thanks to help from Godderz

Ion steals the victory after Kenny did the work for his team

The cameraman better get out of Bully's face unless he wants to eat that camera

The fact they are a team makes me cry.

It didn't hurt Nash and Hall, Hogan and Savage, Sting and Luger, Undertaker and Kane or Foley and The Rock.

What makes you say it will kill these guys careers?

**Shockage** · 01-25-2013, 01:28 PM

Is it that they haven't spent too long as established main eventers and the fear is that they won't be able to return to singles main eventing? You could compare them to Angle/Benoit, two main eventers (both with World Titles if you count Benoit's WCW title win) that went into that tag team transition for a brief time.

**flame3169118** · 01-26-2013, 12:55 AM

A friend of mine that follows spoilers (I asked him not to reveal what they are) said there's some big things going on for the next 2 shows

No I see history repeating itself for Roode. In 2008 he was established in singles action the all of a sudden he went to Tag with Storm and would be stuck there for over three years. They should only be in singles action. Nash and hall were always seen as a tag team when they went to WCW it took a parting for either to establish a singles career and neither were as good after the split. Hogan and Savage were never a true team they were an alliance of shaky convience. Luger and Sting had long established single careers in the company before they teamed. Taker Kane? You serious Taker was jumping from one action to another and Kane was always in lesser tag roles. Foley and Rock again had established their singles careers in the federation before being thrown togther.

Roode has only been out of the tag scene a little over a year Aries has only been in the company since 2011. Aries moved from X to world title this is a step backwards.

**Shockage** · 01-26-2013, 05:27 AM

What about Angle/Benoit? They held together a tag team division that was carrying 2 to 3 teams which was a smart move when you take two of the best to get a division running.

**Shockage** · 01-26-2013, 06:54 AM

Dumb move by TNA not giving Christopher Daniels the TNA World Title to take to the UK to defend and taunt the fans with. The UK fans should feel robbed that the TNA World Title remains on US soil because the company's champion has a criminal record can't travel abroad. Daniels could have easily run with the title while in the UK and the belt could've been switched back to Hardy when they got back to the US. If TNA couldn't give the belt to Daniels for those reason (and merits) then at least give the belt a way to say 'thank you' for his contributions to TNA. I've been a wrestling fan for 25 years and for the last 3 I've watched TNA Wrestling more than any other promotion, but they wasted a gold opportunity. Stupid, stupid move!!

Difference is Neither guy was going far in singles action. Roode and Aries were still hot on the heels of the world title. Plus they broke up the team almost as soon as it started. If TNA wants to fix the Tag division I have a suggest hire some freakin Tag teams! The Indy Scene is filled with teams from all walks of life. Japan is littered with the perfect set of teams including the IWGP Tag team champions Harry Smith and Lance Hoyt (a former TNA tag champ mind you). TNA doesn't need to take from the World title or any other scenes they just need to Hire Tag Teams.

They have wasted gold opportunity since 2002 man.

It makes you wonder who will be put in the World Title scene with Jeff Hardy if Roode & Aries are being delegated to the tag team division. It's a smart move, you take two former world champs who work great together and put them in another category that needs life, this leaves opportunity for other challengers to step up to contend to the World Title. What's the problem again?

Let's see Aries and Roode go from dominant contenders to a who cares tag team. They lose immediately any real forward motion that they had for the title. Who is left to contend? The best hope is Bully. if Daniels stays in congrats another Tag is dead. If he stays with Kaz then there is no way he can play and logically run. D-von is no contender, AJ still has to wait. Joe and Angle are busy with Aces and 8's. You don't even consider Storm an option. RVD is busy killing the X division. Leaving the god awful Anderson. Aries and Roode were your best contenders. If Bully does not get out of this Brooke thing then the World title has issues.

Plus Roode and Aries are a band aid fix. If TNA wants to save the division they need tag teams for the long haul not the short stint. TNA is only going short stint Tag not long haul 4 year plus possible teams. This is why Roode and Aries are screwed.

We'll have to wait and see if people really don't care about Aries & Roode, the Roodey Poohs. Your theory seems to be based on an exaggeration of bad past experiences.

You are right, we'll have to wai and see, let's hope TNA use them right...

And I think Taz said something that is true on his promo, Aces & 8's are a group of men looking for redemption, I don't think they are WWE rejects, are WWE misuse men..
