More On Bully Ray/Aces and 8’s
This was a big story last night and deserves a bit more attention.First and foremost, I did like the end result of last night’s show. Having Ray be revealed as the President of Aces and 8’s was the right move and was one of the few places they could go to extend the life of the whole stupid angle. Ray screwing over the Hogans for the sake of winning the world title with it being a plan all along was perfectly logical as it’s Ray’s nature to be a self serving jerk. The lines of “I used you and I screwed you” and “D-Von let her cry” were straight MONEY. Also, IT ISN’T BISCHOFF.
However this doesn’t solve everything. At the end of the day, Aces and 8’s have still been the most inept stable of the last like…..ever. They never win anything of note and they lost again last night in their other big match. Also, Ray is now basically the leader of the Eight Stooges. They’re still a bunch of losers and you can’t use the logic of “now that they have a leader” because Ray has clearly been the leader for months. Oh and one more thing: why did Ray give Hardy a chain? I know he had everything in hand, but it was still an unneeded risk.
As for where this is going now, it appears that we’re headed for either Hogan or Sting vs. Ray at Slammiversary before we get to presumably AJ or Storm taking the title at Bound For Glory. If we have to get one of those matches, Sting is BY FAR the better option, as he can at least, you know, move. There are some other downsides to this development also.
Above all else, it means Brooke talking. The story continues to be mainly about them rather than ANYONE else and Brooke just isn’t interesting at all. She’s annoying, she’s whiny, she’s not talented, and she’s on TV more than any other female in the company. Also I don’t really want to spend the next few months hearing about how Aces and 8’s are taking over and all that jazz. The last thing we need is another corporate takeover angle. Having them be the dominant faction is fine, but we don’t need another takeover. It’s been done WAY too many times.
Overall, it’s good but it doesn’t solve all of Aces and 8’s problems, nor does it make up for the months and months of terrible stuff.
How am I being biased and when did I say anything about WWE?
I seem to remember the nWo getting trash getting thrown at them because their heat was legit. Aces/Eights don’t have that and TNA having plants in the Crowd to start that is stupid.
The only reason that dude mocks me is because he is a coward and has nothing better to do.
Two things,they had plants in the Crowd start throwing the trash in the Ring. Second Brooke Hogan said on Twitter this is real. Just stupid imo. Im fine Bully Ray being Champion but it looks bad overall.
Had WWE did it you would probably be praising it. This is why that dude mocks you
This. And Jay wonders why he gets hate. The dude needs to stop being so damn biased.
Brooke’s twitter comments post-show are beyond stupid
