Aces & Eight theory

[Shoeless]

OK so here's my theory on Aces and 8....Jeff Jarrett returns as a co-leader of the group along with Matt Morgan. They are the Aces. The 8 is a group made up of Luke Gallows, Mike Knox, Wes Briscoe, Cliff Compton, Chris Masters, Johnny Devine, Jay Bradley and Harry Smith. Jeff is pissed he was not the first TNA Hall of Fame inductee and that he was forced out of the company that he started. Matt Morgan is supposed to be the "Blueprint" yet he continually gets overlooked by TNA. The group of 8 is also tired of being overlooked and have banned together to take what they consider is theirs....it's their time. Every one of these guys were in WWE....They attacked Sting first as directed by JJ for him being the first one inducted in TNA's HOF. Next they attacked Hogan, then Angle....2 former WWE guys they take their anger out on them for how they feel towards that other company. Next they attack Sam Shaw, that bastard hasn't paid his dues , who the hell does he think he is, he wants a TNA contract he's gonna get a beatdown first. The attack on Austin Aries is simply because Austin is the champ. Lastly the attacks on Roode and AJ Styles are because they have been two of TNA's top stars for years and have the 2 longest TNA world heavywieght championship reigns. To cause some confusion and further instability they choose not to attack James Storm. In not attacking Storm it makes it somehow look like he could be behind the group and the attacks. Later down the line they sell to him how easy it was for everyone to believe that he was the one orchestrating the attacks. They say even Sting thought you were the one and he should know better don't you think, but they don't care about you.....we do.....join us. James Storm thinks about it, it looks like he is about to do it but he attacks them. This makes him even more of fan favorite then he already is. This accomplishes 2 things.....1 establishes Aces and 8's as a threat and elevates James Storm to an even higher level in TNA, which leads to another title reign possibly taking it from someone in this group down the line. Once he has the title and his feud with Aces & 8's is over he turns around and reignites his feud with Bobby Roode because they have some unfinished business BOY !!!!! Roode in the mean time during the Aces and 8's storyline decides he needs backup, ala Ric Flair ( we all know he has been acting alot like Slick Ric lately).....he forms a small group with Joey Ryan, John Morrison and Zima Ion....Ryan plays the second fiddle ala Tully Blanchard and Morrison and Ion form a tag team. Tell me what you think or your theory behind the Aces & 8's.

Honestly I think some parts of your theory are really out there, but on the other hand I like other parts. I hope there is one man behond it all. WARRIOR!

[Butters' Pitt]

It's funny but I sort of thought about a Storm vs the Invaders a few weeks ago before the doubts about him came about. I thought "alright if Storm win the title at BFG, it would be great to have this huge Evil that he would have to beat to put him over" and AcesAnd8s would be perfect for it, several warm bodies that Storm could dispatch one after the other like ninjas in action movies. I hope TNA does what the OP said since it could slip into this smoothly. I'm not sure having Roode forming his group would fit into this, though as there should be only one group. After BFG, Storm vs Roode should be over for now and I wonder what place Roode should have.

[Ed]

The James Storm tease is great. I don't think they turn him,if they do their morons why have Cowboy think of retireing comback have momentum for a WHC rematch only to turn him heel without payback or at least at shot at Roode? watch it be someone who gets attcked only for that to be pre-planned. I would have these guys attack heels to. Everbody is a target.

[Bang Bang]

Wasn't Morgan released or contract up and he didn't resign? When they referred to the big guy of the group last night I figured it was Crimson. He's been off TV since his loss no?

He lost in a title match to Devon a few weeks ago.

[BestInThe205]

I dig it. It seems semi-plausible (minus the Morrison bit)

[Shoeless]

Jack, no disrespect intended when I ask this, just want to know what part you find really out there. I'd like to eventually start doing alil writing and it would be good feedback.

Ed thanks, I wouldn't turn him either just tease the audience that he's gonna turn. It would make for a good storyline especially with Sting thinking he could be behind the attacks.

Bang bang yeah it has been reported that Morgan did not resign his contract and he might have wanted to go back to WWE but with the lawsuit TNA has against WWE they have reported they have no interest in recently released TNA talent. So maybe with him not being able to sign with WWE he may want to go back to TNA. Plus this would work well in my story because none of these guys are supposed to be under TNA contract.

Best in the 205....why wouldn't Morrison work? Are you not a fan or you just don't see it working in the storyline ?? Again no disrespect to your opinion, just would be good feedback for when I eventually start writing .

[Jack Nichols]

I do like the storyline actually. I think when I said "out there" what i meant was some of the talents you chose may not fit. For example I dont see John Morrison in TNA at all, Joey Ryan sorta has his own thing going(which I am really interested in and hope it gets going) and Zima Ion has the X division to help build back up. Other than the talent you selected, which is just your preference, I think its great, especially the James Storm tease.

[Shoeless]

Thanks for the feedback Jack, it definitely helps

[Jack Nichols]

I responded to your post before I watched Impact(I DVR and watched it today) but it seems that TNA is thinking the same way about the James Storm tease.

[raven1980]

Aces ands 8s are Johnny Ace Ace Bob Orton Villaño Number 8 and 88 Syxx's older brother Eyate and Dustin Rhodes as a bald pedo named eight the Gambler is there manger LMAO

[Shoeless]

Jack I just caught the last few minutes of it, and same as you I watched it in full today. From those last few minutes is how I came up with my theory. All I saw was James Storm run down and they didn't go after him, saw Angle pissed at him and Sting in the ring lol...I think this could be a very interesting story arch. Can't wait to watch it play out.

[merle]

It's Chris Harris! My theory is that he is doing it to get back into TNA and is also framing James Storm who he sees as a traitor for moving on without him after AMW broke up.

[Coco]

I think your theory is too much of an impenetrable block of text to have any teeth.

[kovu rex]

It's Chris Harris! My theory is that he is doing it to get back into TNA and is also framing James Storm who he sees as a traitor for moving on without him after AMW broke up.

This would be great if it weren't for that fact that Harris was the on that left TNA...if he was back in the shape he was before heading to WWE it would be awesome.

[HunterSniderBrand]

Interesting idea with Storm.. Similar to how WCW thought Sting had turned on them to join up with the nWo, etc.

I do think Jarrett is in on it, possibly Bischoff, but, Matt Morgan and Ric Flair I think are finished. However, I would LOVE for aces and 8's to be Jarrett, Steiner, Morgan, Masters, Crimson, Flair, etc. (those are the main picks), because it would add the "shock value" by having all of those guys involved.

As for the Morgan/Flair idea, it isn't realistic at all, and reforming a version of the horsemen with those 4 just wouldn't work in my opinion. I could see Flair as a manager for Bobby Roode though... But, he's on his way back to WWE, and I do NOT see him invovled in this storyline, unless he is a manager for aces and 8's.

[matthews_world]

One of their members looks like he's wearing a dark jean jacket and hoodie like Abyss would.

[merle]

I did notice one of them looked like Abyss.

Please, please not Flair! The guy sucks! He always has sucked. Even in his prime he was an overacting, non-psychology wrestling, marble-mouthed promo douche! He's a hack. He's always been a hack. Overrated doesn't begin to descrbe him.

[Ed]

Jarrett has to be involved somehow.

[Johnny D]

Jarrett has to be involved somehow.

I'm sorry, no more Jarrett. The guy is a complete waste of space and does nothing but take up time with stupid angles which could be better spent on far superior younger talent. It is time for TNA to move fwd. Jarrett is going backwards in high gear.

[Shoeless]

I am new to this forum Icon, and new to posting on any forums. You are not the only one that has mentioned about the way I post. I will work on that, but to me my theory about Aces and 8's make the most sense off all the theories out there.

Thanks for being so positive. Glad to see we have perfect people here.

[Butters' Pitt]

With all the suspiscions Bully Ray has made about Storm and the Attackers, it would be interesting not necesseraly for Bully to be with them but to use this "war" between TNA and Aces/Eights and confusion to form his own group. Not a big group having two or three guys helping him and do it in a shocker.

[Bang Bang]

Last night the guy talking from A8s to me was most definitely Abyss/Parks.

[Shoeless]

He did have that body type. It could be interesting to have Abyss be a part of it and the Joseph Parks character disappointed with his brother. I honestly think that that was Mike Knox. I keep hearing people say that the one with all the hair is Johnny Devine, I just can't remember what he looks like.
