MIKE KNOX REVEALED AS ACES & EIGHTS MEMBER!
During the 1/3 episode of TNA Impact Wrestling, Mike Knox was revealed as a member of the Aces & Eights heel faction, after a steel cage tag team match against Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe. Knox has been wrestling under the mask for many months now, as reported by numerous dirt sheets and social media sources, so this really shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anybody.
That brings the total amount of revealed Aces & Eights members to 3 - DOC, Devon & Mike Knox - with Ken Anderson being teased in either direction at this point. Not the scariest team I've ever seen, admittedly, but still with some potential to cause mayhem and destruction. The important thing to realize here is that Aces & Eights aren't going to reveal a huge name as one of the grunts doing all the dirty work each and every week. If Jeff Jarrett is with the group, he's not going to be the one working a steel cage match just for fun.
Also important to realize, the Aces & Eights have been handed losses regardless of who is in their club house, whether they have masks on or not. If somebody like Goldberg was unmasked - just to make a point; there's no reality behind it - it wouldn't make sense for them to suddenly start winning. These are guys that have been behind masks, doing beatdowns and run-ins for 6+ months now. Having a guy like Mike Knox revealed isn't supposed to make them super strong, it's supposed to make them more vulnerable; it doesn't actually change their dynamic physically.
So keeping our expectations based in reality, and our tendency to judge things prematurely in check, what do we think of Mike Knox being revealed as the next member of Aces & Eights?
