Sting's attackers

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:02 am

I know there are probably not many people in here that watch TNA. I watch it every week.

What I was wondering is who were Stings attackers last week? What was that all about?

by Fernando Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:03 am

Their isn't a set plan for it atm it was just to get sting off tv for the time being.

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:11 am

Are you sure?

He had literally only just come back!

by Fernando Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:14 am

Yeah, they didnt want people going why isn't he in the bfg series thumbsup

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:16 am

But why bring hime back for like 3 weeks then get rid of him again, I think it could be to do with him being the first inductee to the Hall of Fame and Jeff Jarrett not being to chuffed about it so had got 3 people (probably debutants) in to sort it out.

They don't know the reason yet, nando just explained why they took him away again.They brought him back for Hall of Fame and to wrestle Roode but are taking him away because they don't want him to be a part of the BFG series.

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 12:04 pm

But they have other wrestlers not involved in BFG that were last year such as say Devon and are still using him?

Ask TNA that question, I didn't decide to write Sting off of TV.

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 1:17 pm

Its a question, calm down!

by Kay Fabe Wed Jul 04, 2012 2:25 pm

Maybe it's the same guys who abducted Joe in 09, they've probably been in jail for other offences and that explains why they haven't attacked anyone in the last few years CSI

Sorry do we know you? Welcome to the board thumbsup

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed Jul 04, 2012 2:54 pm

Sting should have painted their faces.

Except they were wearing masks so he couldn't.

My God these men are geniuses!

by Mr H Wed Jul 04, 2012 2:57 pm

Why did Sting paint Hulk Hogan's face?

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed Jul 04, 2012 2:58 pm

Maybe he wanted to form the New Blade Runners with him?

by Fernando Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:26 pm

It appears the mystery men who attacked Sting on TNA's Impact Wrestling have started a Twitter account - @TheAcesAnd8s. They've posted a few tweets, linking to the attack photos and video. The only Twitter account they are following is Sting's official account and their Twitter bio reads like this:

"The dead man's hand is a two-pair poker hand, namely aces and eights. Hold that hand and your fate is sealed! @Sting was first!"

Their tweets were re-tweeted by TNA writer Dave Lagana this week but he quickly deleted them. There's still no confirmation that the account is legit.

by paulscholes Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:45 am

1 was fat so it could be bully ray other 2 maybe 2 from roode, kaz, daniels

While this is commonly accepted as the dead mans hand, the earliest refence to a dead mans hand was in 1886 and have it as a full house, Jacks over 10's.

Aces & Eights or Dead Man's Hand (the two black Aces & Eights) popularly originates from the hand Wild Bill Hickok was playing at the time of his death in DeadWood.
Over the years there has been many different speculations as to what the 5th card or kicker was or if he had even drawn one.

by **Kenny** Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:31 pm

So does anyone have any more guesses as to who the Aces & Eights are ?

I was thinking one looked like Luke Gallows ?

by Adam D Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:47 pm

I reckon one of them is 8 Ace from Viz.

by The Awesome Giz Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:26 pm

Wouldn't suprise me if one of them was Jeff Jarrett, actually if one of them isn't him I'll be suprised.

I've been debating whether the other two could be Chris Masters who has been in Ring Ka King, and John Morrison since it would be a big storyline if he came in.

Bit late I know but thought I'd reply anyway. Devon is the TV Champ and is supposed to defend his title every week on Impact. Wink

Still, you're right that they have other "big" names that aren't in BFG. Is Crimson involved? Can't remember.

Maybe they just don't have any plausible storylines for Sting to be involved in just yet and the writers are beavering away, drawing one up as we speak...

by HitmanOwl Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:15 pm

I think its double j Tbh with a new nwo/nexus faction.

by talkingpoint Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:29 pm

I certainly hope not TNA have been dramatically improving without reverting back to bad factions.

by ncfc_Tooze Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:38 pm

I think Cliff Compton (Domino) and Luke Gallows will be involved. Perhaps Chavo and chris masters

by Fernando Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:42 pm

Id expect it will be something to do with their partnership with AAA in Mexico

by ncfc_Tooze Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:47 pm

I was thinking the Ring Ka King link

by dyrewolfe Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:16 pm

I see the mystery attackers got both Hogan and Sting (again) this Sunday.

I'm just wondering why they feel they need this, when they've been putting so much work into getting new talent and putting on good matches...with some good storylines to boot.

Are Hulk and the Stinger just feeling bored and in need of something to spice up their roles?

Is there no better way to get over new talent than going over wrestling icons?

I have no issues with this at all - its not for the belts and gives several guys the ability to be on TV.

Once we eventually find who who they are, that is...

But how is bushwacking a couple of icons going to get anyone over? I thought the way new talent got over was in the ring? Even without that, there is also the fact that one icon is retired and now the GM, while the other is a fair way past his prime.

by Adam D Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:35 pm

Sting can still go reasonably well.

Fair point on Hogan being retired but this will lead to a program for the attackers.

Is it really that different (in principal) to the Nexus? Newbies taking out the old guard?

Although, obviously, when its revealed to be Jim Duggan, Jarrett and Tatanka I will cry in to my beer!

TNA have been pretty spot on recently - I am happy to see where it goes for the time being.

by Guest Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:29 am

This may be an extremely long shot - could it be another invasion from WWE?

by The Awesome Giz Tue Jul 17, 2012 11:16 am

What like an nWov2? Or The Outsiders Reborn?

by theundisputedY2D2 Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:55 pm

It's Hornswoggle.

These things always turn out to be Hornswoggle.

Who killed Jimmy Hoffa?

The whole thing is messed up, it's no wonder nobody comes on very often anymore!

someone always balls's the thread up though don't they. Look at a lot of the past threads the dissipate into chaos.

by theundisputedY2D2 Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:06 pm

I would like to apologise for ballsing up this thread.

GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY LOOK AT THE CHAOS! LOOK AT THE DISSIPATION! LOOK AT THE DISSIPATION INTO CHAOS BAH GAWD!

by leslie case Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:25 am

I think its gunner wants his revenge

by Guest Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:30 am

That's not a bad shout!

by **Kenny** Wed Jul 18, 2012 4:21 pm

Watching again lastnight im convinced one is Luke Gallows , also agree with one being Gunner

by Kay Fabe Wed Jul 18, 2012 8:04 pm

Nexus baby! Bet they'll be the 1s who attacked Joe 3 years ago

by **VDT** Thu Jul 19, 2012 12:05 pm

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Wes Brisco and Luke Gallows are currently working under the masks as the “Aces and Eights” attackers who took out Hulk Hogan and Sting.

also seen alot seem to think that Chris Masters and DH Smith are involved???

by theundisputedY2D2 Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:07 pm

Apparently though Gallows and Brisco are just being used as bodies for this angle, they're not going to be a part of the group when the 'big reveal' is finally done.

Hope TNA have some idea where they're going with this and we don't get another Main Event Mafia / Fortune type dealio.

I immediately thought to myself that one looks like Bully Ray and another looked like it was James Storm. Guessing they must have been Gallows and Brisco
