Aces and Eights Reveals Two More Members

[ToughGuy]

I will say Brisco's short ponytail had me fooled. I kept wondering who the long haired member was until I saw him pull his hair down.

Much like the metaphorical geese on the isle of lesbos, these two becoming members of Aces and eights was not as iconic as when 32eire32 and Brendanhughes1980 became members of the MILF on IR.net.

Good twist.

So it only remains the president and vice president. One of them is Eric Bischoff , the other one who could be Jeff Jarrett ? Or Bully cause the VP looks like Bully . What do you think?

Yeah, its just another nWo angle. The difference is that that the reason people cared about the nWo is that it actually had people who people cared about instead of a bunch of losers.

Aces and Eights is what the nWo would have been if Scott Norton and Vincent were trotted out there as the founding members. Once guys like them were members of the nWo you knew the angle had run its course.

This angle is just boring and gives you no reason to care. I know I probably sound like a TNA/Impact Wrestling (whatever its actually called) hater but I would love for TNA to actually not suck and be a viable alternative to WWE.

Aces and Eights is running in the opposite direction compared to nWo. nWo you knew early on who was in charge. we still do not know who is the President and Vice President of Aces and Eights. those are 2 powerful positions. I wish they would mention that more though, so that people would know there are still 2 main people to reveal.
I do think Aces and Eights has made numerous mistakes. such as so much losing. with them having numbers, they should be booked using those numbers to win matches, or if they are losing it's because of DQ rather than clean pins.

I just got caught up on TNA finally and let me say... Aces & Eights started out as an interesting concept because they were trying to cash in on the success of Sons of Anarchy and the re-emergence of biker gangs... Kudos to them for that. It was a somewhat fresh take on the age-old takeover stables.

Then they started revealing the members... Devon being the first. Okay, not a bad choice. It was at the very least a breath of fresh air for a guy that was drowning in mediocrity on his own. Could have been a better first reveal, but not bad.

Next reveal was Luke Gallows/Drew Hankinson/D.o.C - I was fine with Luke Gallows, he was at least part of a relevant storyline in WWE, and he even got a rub from CM Punk during his infamous shoot interview. They booked him to be a bad ass right from the opening gate, which is the way a man of his size should be booked. Alright, go TNA! Plus they had him beating the shit out of people with a hammer... How cool is that?

Moving on... The A&8s offer membership to Ken Anderson, who accepts. Alright then... I've found Anderson to be pretty bland and boring since he left WWE, but hey, maybe this will be a fresh go for him. I'll look past the whole thing where Ken said he didn't need anybody but him, and his legion of "Assholes" a time or two before, because it's TNA's booking team we're talking about.

And then.... well, that's when shit starts getting stupid... Angle unmasks one and reveals him to be Mike Knox. Really? Mike Knox? What can I really say about Mike Knox? Not a whole lot because he hasn't done anything worth mentioning.

From there we get Taz revealed during the wedding of Bully and Brooke... This move makes less sense than Mike Knox for the fact that nobody really gives a damn about Taz. The whole angle they're going for here is having an announcer on the A&8s side, similar to Bischoff with the nWo... The major problem here is Taz isn't even remotely believable, and his announcing has been piss poor at best since leaving the E. Terrible, terrible.

So... to no surprise to anybody Wes Brisco and Garrett Bischoff become the two newest members to round out the group. Oh boy, to quote Tony Schiavone "that'll put some asses in the seats." Neither of them can work in the ring for shit, and they can't talk or sound believable as was proven on this past week's Impact... Brisco's promo seemed so forced that I'm surprised a turd didn't slip out of his mouth. Awful stuff.

There's two members left to be revealed, and I'd bet one of my nuts that one of them is Eric Bischoff and the other is Bully Ray as the leader... Bully Ray might be able to make it interesting for a while but he's essentially leading 2013's version of the fucking J.O.B. Squad.

This is just another example of TNA building something that could be somewhat interesting and then turning it into a giant pile of shit before our very eyes. TNA are becoming reverse magicians, and I'm almost begging for them to close the curtain.
