I don't understand the logic at all with this group. Magnus was another one that was there the night that Sting was attacked and no-one helped. Sting said he was going to bring in people that would actually help him and yet he chooses guys that were there but didn't help. Makes no sense at all. I like Magnus and think that he has a ton of potential but I don't know if this will help him.

I didn't know Magnus was a former world champion and has been in the main event scene.

TNA really haven't thought this group through. They need to explain what this group actually is since it isn't just for maineventers and it also includes guys that Sting said wouldn't be in the group.

Didn't TNA tease something between Rampage and Angle to begin with? What the hell happened to that?

Honestly TNA should have never tried to rehase this. It worked well the first time because they actually had a great team to work with and all were legit main eventers. Now it just feels like a bad remake.

That is another good point. Just another TNA storyline that they have forgotten about.

This is looking more and more like a mistake.

And what is sad now is they have to run with it. We have to believe that all these people that wouldn't join forces, now are even though they weren't goin' to are gonna destroy A&8s. I'd say at this point A&8s should bury them but they've had their substantial run and probably should be defeated at Bound For Glory but this "plan" TNA came up with seems rushed and not even thoroughly looked at. I mean why bother? I don't see why they couldn't have came up with a better way for A&8s to eventually fall.

This is such a joke. Why not just reform the damn Frontline? Would have been a lot better, that way they could have mid card guys and not look like assholes with the name.

While Magnus may seem an odd choice to this kind of group, at least he does add something different and I was pretty impressed with his promo when they introduced him.

The biggest issue I had with the original MEM was they never elevated anyone. I feel the success of any stable is always measured by that factor.

Having Magnus atleast adds someone to the group that can get more exposure, and the rub from working with main eventers like Angle & Sting.

MEM were the focal point too much last time, TNA never put any effort into building up someone/a rival faction to stop them instead just focused on making MEM look as cool as possible.

In the end MEM should have put over Frontline and allowed them to end the group. MEM should have dominated early but then eventually the young group start to get the better of them, start winning their titles and then finally win one big Lethal Lockdown match to dissolve MEM. When they added the World Elite to the MEM stable things became too messy with the feud and the group just faded away in the end.

This time it does look like there is a much better chance of some young talent getting a rub from within the group.

The odd thing about this MEM is that they are faces, to me that just doesn't fit the group. I do think like others have said that Mangus could get a lift from being around those guys.

Why wouldn't they be faces, they're going after Ace's & Eights..
