Aces & Eights

Uh, do something to- [chuckles]

Shit, bring back Aces & Eights.

Aces & Eights, bro.

Aces & Eights, man.

Oh, man.

Listen, y'all, this has been a good episode, Episode 149 of On the Mark Wrestling Podcast.

There's the Immortal group.

Would you put Aces & Eights up there? [laughs]

Aces & Eights were in there.

They, they, I mean, it's an interesting thing.

I don't know if I'm putting Aces & Eights in there, honestly.

Yeah, I mean, the, the, the one thing about it is they, they did do really good business whenever Bubba turned.

Yeah.

So obviously the lightest chops on ITV Celebrity Wrestling.

Uh, 2013, he attacked Kurt Angle, and he's revealed as the VP of Aces & Eights, their Sons of Anarchy gimmick rip-off.

Uh, July, he then leaves TNA, back on the indies, but then now, and as of 2019, he is back with TNA as a producer.

He had a brief stint as a color commentator for TNA between '21 and '22 with Matt Striker, and like I say, to this day, he still works in talent relations for TNA.

Like working with a young AJ Styles, I think that's quite an interesting one that I'd be interested to go back and watch some of.

No, definitely then.

Just think at the time of that Aces & Eights storyline, which I remember thinking, I think it was fun when it started, but it quickly got like shit and then they ran it for a long time.

But that was the biggest storyline in TNA at the time, and TNA at the time were the second-biggest wrestling company in the world.

He took on even more when he joined Immortal.

He, he took on even more when he became Aces & Eights.

Um, at this point, though, he was actually starting to establish it.

He, but I mean, he, he was, he was that heel that, he was that classic heel, which basically you talk tough, you go in a ring, you, you, you, you fight somewhat tough, but you had a ca- you had a yellow streak at some point down your back, and there were certain things you would and wouldn't do.

That doesn't, that's not Bully.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, if you want a, if you want the penultimate idea of just how far of an asshole as far as D- his Bully Ray's character was, l- look up somewhere down the line, Bully Ray, um, had, was with Aces & Eights.

He had Sting in a ring.
