So I walk out there and fight them?"
"No, Tito, you just sort of... stand there. And look intimidating."
"And what do the rest of them do?"
"They just sort of... stand there. And look intimidated."

Cross promoting a Bellator fight between Tito and Rampage by having them both join the current TNA main event stables

Bellator ended up pulling them from TNA soon after tho or something lmao

As Chris said this was a cross-promotion for Bellator's first PPV which was to be headlined by Tito vs. Rampage Jackson.

They both got pulled because there was a risk of injury, even though Tito in particular never got physical once.

Tito got injured anyway.

And the PPV was bumped to free TV because without Tito there would be no buys.

Aces and Eights was ok when Bully was revealed as the Leader. Cause was at his peak.

But it jumped the shark pretty quickly.

Main Event Mafia had a whole Lethal Lockdown Match planned against Immortal.

But that went to hell when Booker and Nash went back to WWE.

damn that is actually rough for them. TNA always seems to have good ingredients but just messing up the recipe anyway it seems

That was like 2011 when they started the teases before locking down Booker and Kevin to come back lol so they scrapped the reunion completely

This was when they finally did do the reunion as faces but was still nothing compared to the original 08 run

Oh yeah their original run was actually really entertaining.

Booker and Nash burying people on commentary while Scott Steiner was the ring announcer :TI:
