Bully Ray Heel turn

**VanHooliganX** · 03-11-2013, 11:11 AM

The PPV beforehand wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. But I really enjoyed the ending of it. Prefer Bully as a heel and glad he's finally champion. Bloody deserves it!

My favourite TNA moment of all time! After watching it, I thought to myself "TNA has arrived!"

TNA is SO storyline rich, that it by far out-does WWE - in my opinion.

Bully Ray is finally at the level he should've been many years ago. He's a veteran. He's a great talker. Knows his way about the ring. Is intimidating. And now, with his own faction as TNA World Heavyweight Champion, including Devon, I think he will become the most dominant heel TNA has yet to see.

Some of you say that you can't wait to see Team 3D back to tag action. To be honest, I believe they will continue as singles stars (obviously) since they now are aligned and both hold TNA Championships. Think the Two Man Power Trip.

You know, I was thinking, I believe this storyline will also include AJ Styles' return. We know that TNA plans their storylines months and months in advance, and as evident of Bully Ray turning heel and leading Aces & Eights against TNA, I think AJ's storyline will have him return as heel; portraying the fallen and angry once-Face of TNA, going after James Storm (who cost him his shot at BFG Title Match), and other faces. But as Bully Ray is dominating the roster, beating everyone, Dixie Carter and Hulk Hogan will turn to AJ as their last hope and line of defence against Bully Ray and Aces & Eights. AJ will refuse, saying that he is done being TNA's "clean up boy". But something will change, and AJ will ultimately turn face and be the one to defeat Bully Ray in a high-stakes match for the TNA Championship; cementing him as the "True Face of TNA".

Also, even though Bully Ray in the President of Aces and 8's, I think this was all orchestrated by Eric Bischoff. Who, after being "thrown out" of TNA, will have his revenge.

Not sure how this can be compared to Hulk Hogan turning heel in the 90's. He spent his career as the ultimate face. Bully up until the whole Brooke thing was a heel to begin with. Bully being a heel is not shocking. Sting turning coat would have been more shocking. Hell, John Cena has been such a goodie goodie for so long, would be the ultimate shock. Bully Ray has been heel most of his career compared to a face. I'm glad he's back, that kiss ass exchange last Thursday made me wanna turn the TV off. Bully kissing butt is like Undertaker dancing with the Funkasaurus...GAAAAAD!!

Yup! Exactly what I was thinking.
If they're finally going to have AJ back on top like the fans have been asking, it'll all be up to him to deliver some great storytelling. The guy is just awful on the mic; but if he works his ass off, he could really nail this storyline into a bigger success.

I think it very much reminds me of or parts of the NWO, the Aces and 8s..... From guys from that were ex-WWE showing up, or a greater majority... Bully turning heel at Lockdown reminded me so much of Bash at the Beach 1996..... AJ Styles kinda portraying Sting, being a in-betweener, no alliance right now... Could keep going with the names Matt Morgan, James Storm all being included in various roles as the feud spans on through the spring and summer and fall of this year...

AJ does have that Sting role right now! At least I think so...
He's is riding a bike, and was seen talking to a biker, making you wonder if he's with Aces..
sort of when Sting left and came back with the black and white before he fully turned crow, and fans were guessing if he was nWo.

Loke I said before, thank god for Bischoff, cuz no one else can come up with these take over storylines the way he can.

Honestly looking at a&8, now i wouldnt be surprised if bully wasnt tnas pick for prez all along with him giving creative input to how they dress and socialize with one another. There are too many similarities for this to just be coincidence to me.

he isn't the prez.

nwo was a rip off storyline. now you are saying this storyline is like nwo. so bischoff isn't good at anything but copying then recopying.

NWO was rip off storyline???? refresh my mind when did that happen before???? If Bischoff isn't good at anything why does he have several shows he co-produce on several Prime Time Cable line-ups????
