Interested......

SO.....we've got a few developments that MUST be talked about. Let's just list them for simplicities' sake right here.....

-Claire's voice is quite possibly the only thing in the world to rival AJ Lee's and Karen Jarrett.
-Aces and Eights didn't appear on camera this week.
-Joseph Park is now representing a couple of Impact stars.
-Wes Brisco is looking for a job and wants Angle to speak for him.
-The match types have been announced for the four way matches at Hardcore Justice.

I don't think the first is worth mentioning twice, but the implications for where this story is headed speak heavily toward AJ being drugged for the photo and the child not being his in the first place, but that kind of thing has been done before.....sort of. Stephanie and HHH had a similar story more than a decade ago. Whatever the case, I look to see more revelations, probably by someone not tied to the story right now.

Joseph Park taking on a couple of performers as legal counsel is an interesting twist. Makes me wonder not only if it's a cover for his newly developed alter ego but also if one of those stars is Abyss. Just thinking about this out loud......

Aces and Eights didn't show up this week. I'm intrigued about where this is going. Makes James Storm look like a very guilty man....or it makes the faction look intimidated by the number of men surrounding the ring. Suddenly the numbers game looked a bit lopsided? Whatever the reason for their not showing up, it does make the story more interesting.

On a related note, one of the men beneath the masks FOR the Aces and Eights was a man whose face was revealed last night. Wes Brisco has been one of the attackers for a short while. Granted, this is backstage news, but the fact that he shows his face on camera asking for a job seems a bit suspect. Why? I was hoping that question would come up. Eric Bischoff has had a hand in the development of this story and his knowledge of what the internet is dredging up on forums is very good these days. The man does his homework, suffice it to say. Most of the "smarks", as they're referred to here, already know Brisco is one of the Aces and Eights beneath the mask, which makes everything a bit more shadowy as we don't know if he'll be revealed as a spy or if he'll EVER be revealed at all.

As far as the matches are concerned, we have a Ladder Match, a Tables Match, and a Falls Count Anywhere Match. I won't lie, this looks a bit like an Extreme Rules PPV WWE would put out, but with the flair only TNA can pull off. It's weeks like this that make me love being a wrestling fan on TNA's fan list.
