I'm sorry, but are there people out there who would be wanting this?
I personally don't think he would fit. If he needs someone to talk for him and he's a dry as people have been complaining about for years, then he would be dead weight. Unless, miraculously, he was gold on the mic (b/c frankly WWE can keep his racist right hand man). TNA has a lot of great talkers, but they also already have enough that can't. He can wrestle, but he'd be more expensive than what he'd be worth, imo. Does TNA need another good/great wrestler in the main event scene right now...? Because something tells me that he wouldn't come in to go for the (nonexistent) Legends/European/TV Title, let alone the X-Division one. He's not going anywhere.
If it's going to be someone in the company already, however, I still say I'd rather it be Jeff Jarrett. Other people have other stuff to do (Bully) and some don't need anything to do. If AJ goes heel, then he doesn't need A&8s dragging him down with their purposeless losing streak. Though I never found him to be abysmal, here's to hoping he took some acting lessons in his time off and will come back on fire on the mic. You never know.

Re: Aces & Eights Discussion Thread
I think mic skills are something you have naturally, not something that can be taught. I don't think AJ will ever be good on the mic.
As for Jeff Jarrett -dear God, no!  I'm hoping that with TNA hitting the road, the ghost of Double J haunting the impact zone will finally be over. Jarrett may be a founder, but he lacks humility. He made himself the center of EVERY storyline, and a 6-time word champion in just 4 years.
If I never see Jarrett again, it will be too soon.

Re: Aces & Eights Discussion Thread
Anderson adds legitimacy to the group by being A TWO TIME former world champ. He should have a larger role. Just as long as he drops his stupid fucking speech inflections.

Re: Aces & Eights Discussion Thread
Nice they got a win but I dont see how it was impressive at all. They already had the numbers advantage and still needed a ton of help to beat an old Sting and hurt Bully.

A ton of people feel that way about Jarrett, but I don't mind him. In what I can remember, I found him amusing and good on the mic, and he was not a bad wrestler, either. And I like his Southern-ness. But overexposure for anyone is not good, so it's natural that people've o.d.'d on him. Outside of Jarrett, and outside of the company, I would not mind seeing Goldberg, because I highly doubt they'd have A&8 losing with him at the helm. But how they would work that out, I don't know. I can't see his motivation: lingering resentment against Hawk Hogan? Mostly I'd say Jarrett, though, because it would make some kind of sense, and (at least as I imagine it in my mind) they could make a good, logical story out of it.

Considering WWE brought him in to basically be their (ghetto) replacement for Kurt Angle, I fail to see why a company that has the real Kurt Angle would need or want him.
I certainly don't.
