Which guy do people think Knox is? I've heard his name thrown out quite a few times but I can't tell which one he would be. Gallows and Brisco are easy to pick out but the rest are still up in the air for me. I still think the guy calling the shots and doing most of the talking is Abyss based on the way he moves around the ring.

I liked the way the show ended with the core group of A&8 outsmarting the rest of the roster and isolating Aries. It's nice that they're progressing with the angle instead of just random attacks every week like I was afraid they'd do. Can't wait until the reveal.

i swear i identified daniels in there and thought another guy was easy eric young. defenitely saw daniels during the brawl.

I'm pretty sure both of these guys in the pic with Jarrett (Jason Static and Teddy Stigma) were two of the guys last night. Not that it matters anyway since they were just random extras used to fill the prospect role.

Now that every single wrestler was accused of being the A&8's leader and TNA continues to work the IWC like casuals, it's time to bury this angle as boring and stale.

The A+8's member Hogan was fighting with backstage looked like John Morrison. The main leader for the group looked like Abyss.

Next week Storm will accuse Bully of leading the Aces. Joe will probably be accused in the next 2 weeks as well, likely by way of Bully Ray.

The game is about to change... See who we follow... #DeadMansHand

Austin Aries is the only one being followed now. Just when we thought we'd begin to get answers they changed the questions.

Right now I'm thinking it is Bully Ray. FOr all the talk, the Aces and Eights have never attacked Bully Ray and he has benefitted from their involvement in his matches more than once.

[Xist2inspire]

Y'know, we're just assuming one TNA guy is behind this. What if it's multiple guys? By the sheer numbers Aces & 8s put out, it's hard to believe that just one current TNA guy has something to do with this. I can easily see both Joe and Bully Ray being a part of the Aces & 8s.

Once upon a time people theorized James Storm in a similar way. I'm thinking none of the BFGS participants are involved. Though Eric Young, Jeff Jarrett, Eric Bischoff & even Matt Morgan are likely all still in play as potentially patched members pulling the strings behind a curtain somewhere.


The unmasked member is/was CJ O'Doyle, he worked dark matches last week and the week prior.



A couple of tweets from O'Doyle's twittah machine :

This guy may become a patched member and be revealed in time :



And these guys likely matter in terms of the prospects (there is one not seen in the image who is behind them but was seemingly new) as they are essentially the same core group we keep seeing :



Everybody else was/is irrelevant IMO. Just bodies to confuse the viewer and to confuse the roster for now as to how many members there really are, even those attacked backstage. I also believe that is D'Lo in the middle however I am not sure if he is a body double ATM or if he is an actual prospect and perhaps the guy backstage letting them in...perhaps he is prospecting because he tired of being but the lackey agent (Simon Diamond is used as a commentator for Xplosion and Snow has the Gut Check thing going while D'Lo has nothing).

One thing I have thought about with the attack on Aries right arm is, if that forces Aries to be sidelined which I know would suck for him, but it would add fuel to the fire. It would also give a big feather in the hat of Ace's and Eight's. I mean, taking out the world champ? It would unite the locker room even more and make the rivalry way more intense! I don't want to see Aries sidelined, but it is a possibility.
