- AJ Styles did get the opportunity to jump to WWE now that he’s about to become a free agent, but for a very low price. Styles’ short-term contract with TNA is set to expire at the end of the year and WWE reportedly did make an offer a few weeks ago, but for about 20% of what he currently makes in TNA.

WTF? Either AJ is a massive earner in TNA and they offered him a standard lower card guy contract or WWE deliberately lowballed him.

He's a massive earner.

TNA's advertising for a new writer/producer:

Looks like the only real requirement is 3+ years experience in writing for TV and being able to con TNA execs into thinking you're the man with the plan.

I’m all for seeing more of those guys. I totally disagree on Heyman though. He’s really entertaining, I think that feud with Punk just went too long.

That’s no reason to give up, he should be fighting harder. The way you put it makes him seem like a coward. And being a step above Miz and Kofi isn’t saying much. :smt102

I said I don’t really think he sucks. He’s just no fun to watch, not quite a black hole like Miz. And he keeps stealing the “yes” thing, what a asshole!

It'd be hilarious if they hired him just to ruin their storyline. :lol:

I've been watching Impact with Connor tonight and he commented on how he thought Ace and Eights were stupid. I was hard pressed to disagree with him, made me wonder are they the worst faction/group in the history of wrestling?

Do you remember the Nexus? :lol:

WWE's the Authority is worse IMO. Last thing wrestling needs is the McMahon/Helmsely era part 2 so that the now corporate HHH can continue to belittle and bury talent.

Actually I just caught up with the A&E beatdown segment.

I think that's the first time the booking of A&E surprised me in a good way :lol:

SOMEBODY is forgetting the Oddities...

Aces & Eights were good as a dominant stable, just after Bully Ray revealed he was the President, but then TNA started removing everyone that was interesting from the group. DOC, Devon, D'Lo, even Mr Anderson, who I like more than most.

Now that it's down to like, 3 people, and one of those 3 is Bischoff, it's terrible.

Chris Hero is done with WWE. He might bring a much needed spark to ROH if he returned there.

I would still say Ace and Eights are worse then most of those above. At least most of those you mentioned had established big name players. A&E had Devon and Bubba which are legit wrestling stars, the rest of A&E were nothing but scrubs, has beens, and never was's.

by **syxxpakk** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 10:38 am

Generation Next was, at the time, a group "of scrubs and never was's" and ended up being the most impactful faction in the history of ROH.

I would say it has more to do with how the faction is treated and presented, vs who is actually in it.
