Let me start this blog off with a little bit of a story.
Tactix and I have known each other for quite some time now and one of the
things that we both love doing is predicting what is going to happen on TNA.
Well, after the February 28th episode of Impact, Tactix contacted me
and asked me who I thought Kurt Angle had unmasked when he infiltrated the Aces
and Eights . A few names were thrown out, but he was the one who mentioned D-Lo
Brown. I immediately shot this down thinking the person that Angle had attacked
was too, height and weight, to be D-Lo. So, needless to say I was shocked when
it was revealed that it was in fact D-Lo that Angle had put the beat down on
the week before. Well, last night I had just crawled into bed listening to one
of my favorite movies, “Avatar” playing in the background when my phone goes
off. Of course, it was Tactix, Facebook messaging me eager to find out exactly
what I thought about D-Lo being announced as the VP of the Aces and Eights.
Normally, I would stay up and answer him, but instead I told him that he would
know by around noon today. So, I’m done stalling. Here is what I think.
D-Lo Brown is a perfect selection for the VP of the Aces and
Eights. I love how so many of the members of the group are guys who have worked
for WWE and didn’t exactly leave on good terms. Having guys like D-Lo, Devon,
Mr. Anderson, and Mike Knox paves the way perfectly for a reveal of Jeff
Jarrett as the President of the Aces and Eights. Another person I love bouncing
ideas off of when it comes to pro wrestling is my mother. She is the one who
got me started watching the business over 20 years ago and she loves it just as
I do. So we were talking this morning about Impact and she asked me where I
thought TNA was going with this storyline and who I thought the president was
going to be. I simply said Jeff Jarrett then I waited for a reaction. She just
stared at me a little perplexed. I explained that it makes since that he has
not been around for quite some time. And then bring him back as the President
of the Aces and Eights. Now, this isn’t something that Tactix and I have gone
over at length so he hasn’t heard what I am about to propose.
My thoughts are that it only makes total sense to have so
many ex WWE talent making up the Aces and Eights. They have come from a company
that was not being run properly or who have been screwed over by Vince McMahon
himself. So, having Hogan come in running things, they could come in with a
list of complaints basically making the point that they had come to TNA
thinking they were going to be treated fairly and that they expected to be
treated better by TNA management. But, that all went away when Hogan came in.
Now the X-Division is basically gone, compared to what it used to be. The Tag
Team division could definitely be better than it is now and the women’s
division is going through a rough patch. They will basically claim that they
were not being included before joining the club and that they are here to fight
for their opportunity. The fact that Devon has not defended his TV title is
going to come into play as well.
In short, I was super excited to see that D-Lo was announced
as the VP of the Aces and Eights and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the
storyline plays out.
As always thanks for reading and I would love to find out
what you think about the whole thing.
