Aces & 8s

[Troy]

The Aces & 8s storyline has been one of the most intriguing stories in TNA recently. It all began back on June 14th when three masked wrestlers attacked Sting. After that their next appearance was almost a month to the day where they flooded Impact and attacked Sting and Hogan. Since then they have been attacking numerous heels and faces, seemingly at random in great numbers. So far no-one has been unmasked and it is unclear who is running the stable. James Storm has been linked to the group mainly due to the fact that he hasn't been attacked yet.

Where do you think this storyline will go? What is the end game for this stable and when will their identities be revealed? Who do you think is leading the group?

Storm got attacked the other week and after seeing Park on iMPACT this week and saying something was fishy about them, I hope i'm wrong in thinking that Abyss is going to be involved at some point.

Also, you'd expect a big match to go down at Bound For Glory although it seems like it's more suited for Lethal Lockdown whenever that may be.

I don't see them waiting until next April for Lockdown to conclude this, so I see them ending it at BFG in a "Special" Lethal Lockdown match that's not at the Lockdown PPV. I've enjoyed the angle so far, somethings I haven't cared for, but overall, it's been very intriguing.

Lol one guy was unmasked, I think it was a bad botch or something but I didn't recognize him. It was during the Aries match with one of the guys.

At the beginning, this Aces & 8s thing was very interesting but now I find it boring. Every single impact main event is about them which I don't wanna see every, single, fucking week. I would rather like to see Aries have a great feud with somebody. I want this thing to end finally but it really needs a good end to it. A Lethal Lockdown match would be the best way but I just don't see it happening because it would be a brawling contest, not a wrestling match.

It just looks like TNA is just writing this as they go along.

It just looks like TNA is just writing this as they go along.

I assume that's how most angles that last longer than a month go for them. The whole Fortune/Immortal stuff from the beginning of last year after Booker & Nash went to WWE, the Styles/Daniels feud this year seemed the same way.

 

[Brock Lesnar]

Everything TNA does, this storyline and beyond, isn't executed right. They don't have a familiar face here, a person to tie the Aces and 8's. They're running around in circles, like a chicken with its head chopped off... trying to save a company that's going nowhere.

 

[The Cork]

None of the names rumoured are fit for such a central storyline, I mean I joke about TNA being bush league but how small time would they look if it actually is Wes Brisco and the recent WWE releases like Gallows & Masters?

I think they've backed themselves into a corner by masking them.

 

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

Something tells me this is all just to get Bischoff back on screen.

 

[TKK]

I have no problem with Gallows or Knox being part of Aces & 8s, both ae pretty good and fit into Aces & 8s appearance well. Brisco is garbage though.

 

[Chris]

But what he's saying is that neither of them are big enough names to pull this angle together. I expect Jarrett to be revealed as the leader or at least be involved in someway, or them to get a current TNA guy like Joe leading them.

 

[Lewb]

It's the RAW GM computer all over again. Built it up to be the massive storyline, and built it so big that no matter who is behind it, it will end up being an anti-climax. TNA has been improving but this is typical old tna booking.

Spoiler: News Regarding Aces & 8s

Gallows has announced that he's signed with the company. I'm happy with this, I think that he can be a strong addition to the roster and Aces & 8s.

 

[Troy]

I think that Jeff Jarrett being leader makes a lot of sense and he could pull it off. The other names mentioned would be good wrestlers for the stable but I agree wouldn't be the leaders of the group. With JJ you have a big name and it makes sense for him to try to "invade" TNA and try to destroy it after he was overlooked for the HOF. Everything is set up for JJ to be leader, if it is anyone else I don't think it will work.
