Not sure if I should be happy that Bellator has common sense, or sad that TNA really believed that they could pull this off.

How the hell are you supposed to take it serious seeing two accomplished MMA fighters being in a wrestling company that has been on a rollercoaster ride since it's incarnation?

Yeah, well if I was Bellator I would've taken them off TNA PPVs too, especially after you get one guy to hit another with a hammer. Stupid move to begin with, just fucks up Bellators mainevent for their first PPV and piss off hardcore TNA fans by focusing too much attention on guys who won't take bumps.

This is TNA tho, probz a work and both show up to join the new faction MMA Mafia and attempt to take over TNA for the bajillionth time.

Wasn't it announced that Tito and Rampage wouldn't be on TNA until their Bellator fight on the No Surrender Impact a few weeks ago?

If this is the actual case then this whole situation is even more hilarious.

This is old news surely. I mean, they haven't been on TV in well over a month so if you put two and two together you can surely have figured out they weren't coming back. I'm sure once the fights done they might return, but by then, the Aces & Eights could be dead, and having the MEM still around will be pointless.

Tito could easily end up as a bodyguard for Bubba. As for Rampage, I dunno what TNA would re-do with him if there's no MEM around.
