TSC Tag Teams/Stables Evaluation #59: Aces & Eights

[Kidd Dibiase]

4 just because it only got 1 person over..

 

[Flex Luger]

They had no idea where they wanted to go/get to with it.

Started adding scrubs like Dlo Brown and Garrett Bischoff

I'll give them a 5 all together

You watch your damn mouth

 

[Silkk]

Damn, maybe I was being too generous after looking at the scores lol

Let me change my shyt to a 3

 

[Coco Brown]

They're lucky there's no option for 0.

This was done in the height of the Hogan/Bischoff era of TNA nit even being the entertaining kind of bad.

The angle went on for FAR too long.

They spent forever building the mystery around who the people were under the masks, and NONE of them fukkers were people that anyone really cared about.

They gave Bubba Ray (I'm never referring to a fukking grown ass man as Bully) the expected heel reign of terror run with the title to coincide with them being the dominant group, then proceed to fukk up the payoff of beating him for the title/disbanding the group three times.

Have him lose the title to Chris Sabin out of nowhere only for nothing to happen to the group, and for him to get the title back like a month later.

While all of that was happening, they were running the AJ Styles is Basically Sting angle (not too long after the AJ Styles is Basically Ric Flair), which seemed to be building to Styles saving the company after turning their back on it by beating Ray for the title and breaking up the group. They fukk that up by giving away the first title loss to Chris Sabin, and again by having Styles win, but somehow not disband the group. A separate fukkup was them giving Styles the title and building a bug storyline around him without an actual contract agreement done, and him bouncing on them. With the title.

They finally have someone beat Ray and break the group up, and instead of it being someone who was on the TNA side of things, or neutral from the start, they have it be Mr. Anderson........who was previously a willing member of the group, who joined of his own volition.


Overall, just a terrible, terrible storyline that went on for damn near a year and a half.

Okay, so I wasn't tripping. This whole thing really did last forever and a day.

Also, this thread made me go to Youtube to refresh my memory and I came across that hot mess of a "wedding" between Bubba and Brooke Hogan and it just made me remember how truly not entertaining some of the stuff that went down during this angle was.

The basic idea of a biker gang type stable was good, but the reality of what it was wasnt very good, went on way too long, wasnt nearly grtty enough for what it was supposed to be, and has few good moments. 4.

 

[NYChase718]

D Lo brown as one of the final reveal bosses in the 2010s

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

8 for fukkery purposes

 

[DaylitoJames]

3/10.... at least this terrible stable gave Doc Gallows something to do after that Festus failure and before he upgraded by joining Bullet Club.
He went from

I’ve never seen a stable have a great instantaneous spark followed by a complete never ending nosedive. The best thing about this stable after its start was Brooke clapping her cheeks in leather every week. Other than that, this stable was horrendous. No redeeming qualities with so many irrelevant members. It was like the NWO minus star power and having multiple Virgil’s, Brian Adams’, and Horace’s.

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Big fat zero.

That wedding was definitely a jump the shark moment.

Pros:
- Bully Ray proving he can be a legit top heel
- Brooke ADAMS in Leather

Cons:
Literally everything else
