[Spoilers] 9 Months of A&8s

[YOUcanCALLmeCRACK]

Nine months ago we saw the debut of the Aces & Eights - pretty crazy to think about. Overall, I have to say that TNA has done a pretty good job with this stable. Sure at times it got a little stale and those wrestlers under the masks were no huge names but I think TNA did a good job with what they had.

For the first time, here is the entire lineup to date:

President	Bull Ray (WHC Champ)
Vice President	D-Lo Brown
Sgt. at Arms	Devon (TV Champ)
Members	D.O.C. Mr. Anderson Knox (or Knucks?) Wes Brisco Garett Bischoff Taz

Couple of things worth noting/discussion starters:
- I am pretty excited to see Team 3D back in action together
- Thinking back TNA did a good job developing Wes so when he was "unmasked" we kind of gave a shit
- I have to give Garett some props for the spot he took off the top of the cage. Nepotism may have gotten him on the roster but at least he is taking some bumps and earning his way. Obviously, he needs ring work.
- Still not liking this heel Taz behind the desk
- You think any other members will get a belt? DOC and Knox Tag Team champs? Maybe Wes X-Div/an X-Div wrestler joins (Petey Williams or Amazing Red would be awesome!)

Wouldn't mind some X-Division Aces and Eights members, AJ Styles, Petey Williams, a returning Chris Sabin comes to mind.

I would like to see them vs. Roode and Aries in a "For all the gold" feud

[Robstar]

Haven't they given Garrett some stupid name like Baby Boy???

I'm excited about Team 3D and DLo....then, I some how love Doc from his Festus days..he is a very good performer and I hope he's the first man to move out of the group and say enough of working under someone..now I'm on my own and continue his Isaiah Cash gimmick from Ring Ka King (basically it is Undertaker's badass biker gimmick)...

In the current scenario,

1. Bully Ray----------------> World Heavy Weight Champion
2. Devon -----------------> TV Champion

Then I want,

1. Doc & Knux as tag team champions
2. Wes as X-Div champion

I can see A.J. Styles joining Ace's & 8's. I'm sure during the video when they went to see him at his home, he was talking to a member of Ace's & 8's. It looked like Mr. Anderson.

He isn't. He's playing Sting's part in all this. If you're aware of the HollywoodHogan/Sting feud into Starrcade '97, you'll see what I mean.
AJ is being made to make us believe he's in Aces, but he isn't. He is taking a "darker path" and becoming meaner, to eventually take down the group and get back on top as a top babyface.

Was Ray actually announced as the leader of it all? I always figured it was gonna wind up being Jarrett and it would turn into a 'taking my company back' thing.

But I'm loving the line up they have right now. As annoying as Taz is he serves his purpose as a heel announcer as well as any of them do. Doc and Knox are great in the enforcer role. Devon and D-lo work well as the leaders without seeming like their completely in charge. I don't really give a shit about Bishoff and Brisco but every faction has to have some throw away characters. I'm not entirely sure why anderson got put with them but I am a fan so its just nice seeing him somewhere on the show.

[Robstar]

Jarrett could always come back as a face

I'm really enjoying the whole Aces and Eights storyline, but again my only gripe with it is that I want DOC to be way more dominant in this stable. I think out of all the members he has the biggest breakout potential because of his size, in-ring ability, and he would work pretty well if he keeps the biker gimmick. I think in the next few weeks we should DOC develop more of a Hitman persona for Aces and Eights, like taking out people who are a problem, challengers, for Devon and Bully Ray. I don't know I think he would be perfect for that role, what do you guys think.
