Sting, most likely, is going to wear his shirt to wrestle at Lethal Lockdown (because he always does).

I think TNA should have Joe, Storm, EY, or even Magnus also wear a shirt in the match (sort of like how wrestlers dress for street fight matches) to add some tension on who (if anyone does) will turn and reveal an A&8s shirt/vest under their shirt.

Maybe they all wear Team TNA shirts or something.

the difference is that the shield came in fresh, people hadnt seen them before on television and they didn't have existing gimmicks.

brisco and bischoff have been on tna television, establishing gimmicks and such, and now they're in a biker gang. unless you're an established name, then it usually doesnt work. we've seen bischoff made to be a bitch, brisco being a kurt angle cocksucker. now they're in a biker gang. if they had debuted in the gang they would've had a chance to be legitimate looking. instead they're 2 little bitches who are suddenly in a biker gang.

Eric Young. With 4 or more layers of clothing to look fat. I don't think they would do the same deal with Magnus and Young (both get beat down by Aces and return to fight them). I believe one of them is traitor and my money is on Young.
Or Abyss. I still believe Joe Park is gonna screw Team TNA (which is a shame) and this is one way to do it.

I think people over react with the the w/l/d of Aces and Eights, I am not particularly sure they were ever about winning as much as they were about taking people out.

I personally think it's very unlikely the VP is some smaller guy with padding, multiple layers of clothing etc. It's definitely a big, tall, burly fat guy. It can't be Bully Ray because he as in the Impact Zone at the time and I doubt it was Samoa Joe personally. As much as I hate to say this it seems like Abyss/Joseph Park is the most likely suspect. I can't think of another guy built like that who it could be.

The most likely scenario is they will be holding Angle hostage until Lockdown. So we won't find out until then.

As for the President although it would make some sense if it turned out to be Bully Ray I don't really think it is. I think people have mostly forgotten that we have SEEN the President before. Remember? We just saw him from behind though. When they kidnapped Sting a few months ago and brought him to the clubhouse. He's not a big burly dude he looked kind of smallish. A white dude with short hair. From what I remember it looked kind of blondeish but with it being very short and the poor lighting I'm sure it's possible it might have actually been brown.

So based on that the President is most likely Eric Young(seriously, seriously doubt that), AJ Styles(would be a great swerve and good way to make AJ more relevant again but the way they're going with him now he seems more like a loner) and...*drumroll*...JEFF JARRETT.The obvious choice from the beginning. Except he has a short haircut again for the first time in several years. :P

I don't get TNA's booking sometimes. I really don't. It's like their bookers don't understand how to properly book ANYTHING.

Like you all have pointed out...if they are supposed to be a monster heel group, a gang of violent & dangerous thugs(which is obviously what they were/are meant to be) then why in the hell would you book them to lose over 90 percent of the time? That's not how that kind of group gets over.

People criticized WCW for letting nWo dominate TOO much and it just got a little old after awhile with how the WCW guys ALWAYS lost for over a year. But this Aces & Eights storyline seems to have the opposite problem. They haven't booked these guys nearly strong enough to get them over and maintain heat.

Maybe Karen Jarrett?

I hope you're joking about the layers of clothing thing. The VP is obviously a truly big, burly dude. No one mentioned this idea prior to the unmasking this past Thursday that made it obvious it's someone we know very well(most likely). People are grasping at straws because the options for a big guy like that whom we all know are very limited. I'm not that keen on the idea but really it's looking more and more likely that this is Joseph Park.

I voted the 3rd choice.

But they NEED to win Lethal Lockdown. If they lose, the feud becomes worse. If they're not gonna win small matches on TV, they should at least win the major matches.

Ok.. after thinking about it, I think I will go with Bully Ray as my pick. I believe Bully Ray was turned face only to turn heel on a bigger stage to make a big surprise, and that event will be Lockdown. He is maineventing for the world title and I am sure he is winning the title there. His lovefest with Hogans and Sting is way too obvious. Everybody knows Bully is a better heel than a face and TNA is not stupid to not realize it.

My prediction is, Kurt Angle is held hostage for next week and is brought out by the Aces and 8's right before his match against Wes Brisco all bloodied up and Brisco punishes him more to pin him and leave him unconscious so that Angle wouldnt tell anyone about the VP.

Later that night Bully turns heel and wins the title with the help of Aces and 8's and Angle confirms that it was Bully on the next Impact. "Family" thing Angle said to the VP also confirms this as Bully is Hogan's family and all.

A week or month later Brooke joins him and Bully-Hogan era kicks off with Bully as the top heel champion.
