Preview Thursday's January 24 IMPACT WRESTLING on SpikeTV at 8/7c, as the road to the March "Lockdown" epic event continues! If you can't watch Thursday's action-packed broadcast, make sure to set your DVR!

- Will Taz and the Aces and Eights have hell to pay after their attack during the wedding of Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan? During the wedding, Taz interrupted the ceremony - and to the shock of Bully Ray - revealed himself as a member of the gang! No doubt, Hulk Hogan will be coming to IMPACT on mission - after what they did to his daughter, it will be all-out war against the Aces starting this Thursday! Have Taz, Devon and the rest of the Aces and Eights finally sealed their own fate after what they did? Don't miss the fallout on IMPACT!

- Plus, tune in to find out what happened after the attack! Cameras were rolling after IMPACT went off the air - don't miss the exclusive footage!

- In the main event of Thursday's broadcast, World Heavyweight Champion "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy defends the gold against Christopher Daniels!

- In women's action, Tara will defend the Knockouts Championship against new #1 contender, Velvet Sky

- Also scheduled for Thursday's IMPACT will be X Division tag team action as X Champion Rob Van Dam and Christian York battle Kenny King and Zema Ion

All this and more on Thursday's broadcast, plus news on the upcoming "Lockdown" epic event from San Antonio, Texas

The Taz reveal was not only a horribly kept secret, it was just flat out bad as well. Unfortunately the Aces and Eights angle looks to be going absolutely nowhere and even worse, it takes up way too much of the show. Hopefully Hardy and Daniels will get a little time in their match though, as they could work well together. The X-Division tag match sounds pretty good as well, even though RVD is involved.

I thought the turn was executed well, but like Devon it's not exactly the ground shaker this angle badly needs.

Plus, it's like the Hogan/Bully stuff, Taz can't get in the ring, so it's hard to see what the payoff will be.

I absolutely loved the Taz heel turn. "Is it just me...or is it friggin' hot in here?". I don't know, I love that.

It annoys me that everyone in Aces & Eights wears jeans except Taz.

I love Taz as a heel

It fits with his "I don't care" persona because I'm pretty sure he really gave up on trying at the announce booth years ago. Heel Taz has dropped the catchphrases though, Velvet's entrance just doesn't feel the same...

Now he's going to abuse Mike Tenay and the other guy :lol:

Hell yeah he does! It feels like he's doomed to never hold it though.
