Mr. Intensity




TNA is an incredibly stupid company full of incredibly dumb people

------

Things to discuss this month:

- Bully and Brooke's "wedding"

- Hulk Hogan being a creeper and taking pictures of his daughter's legs

- TNA vs WWE lawsuit being dismissed

- Tazz being a member of Aces and Eights.

- why is anderson a member of aces and eights again? wait nevermind no one cares why because no one likes anderson.

- Bobby Roode and Austin Aries getting a shot at the tag titles.

- No PPV in Feb according to Wikipedia

- Missing: Gunner. If found please contact TNA's booking team, thanks in advance.

- They are going on the road from now on as well but how long will that last before they get forced back to the Impact Zone?

------

Since there isn't a PPV this month have the Aces and Eights entrance music (its just as generic as they are)

Devon doesnt get an option in this poll because no one cares about devon. And there are too many aces and eights members to keep track of now (this is a bad thing)

Sadly Diomedesforever6 just doesn't ring as well as Achillesforever6

I wish I could give negative votes to Wes and Garrett, gently caress those talentless losers.

TNA going on the road from now on. Give them a couple of months on the road, and they'll be back in the Impact Zone, I reckon.

Also this is like four members of Aces and Eights in January, not 2.

It was Mike Knoxx, Tazz, then those other two stupid idiots.

I don't know if Anderson counts or not, if he does it was like 5.

How many are left?

I still can't figure out how their Impacts will be now. I first read it saying that all Impacts would be on the road and they would film two weeks in one but now I've also read things that said they were still hitting the Impact Zone every other week. So I got no idea.

Kaz and Daniels have the best music though.

Knowing TNA, they probably know who it is, but they don't know how to get to the final reveal. So they'll just waste time by making everybody except Sting and Hogan be revealed as a member of the group.

The problem is there's nobody they could reveal who would be terribly shocking. Short of them signing John Cena there's no payoff that can justify the buildup. There's no equivalent of 1996 Hulk Hogan who would really get a strong reaction for turning.

There's really no point in their being masked anymore.

Yeah. Bischoff would be a giant let-down, anybody else that have would make no sense or be stupid, and they're not going to be signing any big WWE names, more than likely, so this angle just has no compelling... I almost just typed ending, but realistically the reveal would be the beginning. Jesus. Almost a year later and this angle still hasn't even started proper.

At this point, does it really need a big mastermind super villain? It's weaker than Immortal at this point. Who cares if the final reveal is Eric Bischoff? The sooner it ends the better. No sense attempting to salvage it.

I honestly wonder if this isn't one of those cases where there was a specific idea for how this would play out at one point, but it got vetoed for one reason or another, and they haven't been able to think of anything after.

It's basically their version of the RAW Anonymous GM. Which I guess means that Hornswoggle will end up being in charge of this too.

So Aces and 8s is the wrestling version of the Spider-Man Clone Saga. Sounds about right.

I'm actually pretty sure the nWo was the Clone Saga. Started out really fresh and exciting, and was so popular that the powers that be didn't want to stop it, and eventually it went on so long that nobody knew how it was supposed to end anyway.

I would say crossovers are the NWO. Cool at first then diminishing returns. They would also never stop.

The leader of Aces & 8s is going to be Eric Young, who after several head injuries now is battling with his evil alter ego. EY called a hit on himself and when he returns we'll have Super Eric fighting Aces & 8s, while Evil Eric tries to take over TNA.


What...it makes more sense than the majority of TNA's booking under Russo. Course if EY does return I hope he wears the cape again. Its time for the return of Super Eric.
