Sting Attacked By Aces and Eights – Shocking, Belivable Emotional

It’s rare for me to get so moved by a storyline in pro wrestling. I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager so I guess following the industry and being involved and aware of how things work I have become somewhat numb in my reactions. Since taking my passion for the industry and teaming with Ed I have been more journalistic in my approach covering wrestling.

I’m always looking for the mistakes or the newsworthy moments we can post on the site or make a note of some industry headline to put with Ed’s show notes for our DTRT Wrestling Radio broadcast we produce each Monday. I have for the most part have not bought into or have been so emotionally affected by a storyline segment as I was during last nigh’s TNA Impact broadcast. You had the infamous biker gang Aces and Eights as usual storming the ring to ruin the tag match between Kurt Angle and Sting vs Aces members Devon and Doc.

Now I have been impressed with the prgression and growth of this storyline with Aces, honestly considering what else we have currently in regards to the WWE I must admit that this storyline is the most believable and keeps my attention. It was at the end of the segment that really got my attention and my emotions for that matter.

Sting is one of those legendary wrestlers, his career spans decades and his appeal to fans young and old is a true testament to his ability to portray his character and make it real for that moment. This was true for me personally as I watched members of the biker gang unleash a ruthless attack on sting. Going into a pay-per-view this Sunday it is important for TNA to sell the storylines and encourage fans to buy it. This was genius on the part of the creative team. You have someone like Sting who is so loved and respected inside and outside of the ring for who he is and what he stands for. I couldn’t help myself as I watched on my emotions got the best of me and yes for a breif second I almost was brought to tears before I was back in reality.

This is the experience that every wrestling fan should get when watching a broadcast of any wrestling show. For that moment for that time they should be transported into that world and into the life of the character. This segment has set a whole new tone to this Sunday’s event and TNA gets my props for giving us a shocker and doing it well.

Here’s the video

Props to the announcers for selling the emotion during this segment and they did it well but let’s face it. Announcers cannot sell a storyline all on their own. We have seen it tried a thousand times. What really sold this was all the factors involved. The talent, the announcers and the crowd. Most of all the key ingredient EMOTION.

TNA Recap: November 1 2012 – Another Aces & 8s Mask Comes Off

The show began with a memoriam for Brad Armstrong. It was Open Fight Night on Impact Wrestling. Joseph Park was in the ring. He said he was here for Open Fight Night but he is not a wrestler but an attorney. He said that he is a man that is going to stick up for himself. He said Hogan hasn’t gave him a match yet with Aces & 8s but he has found a loophole & it’s Open Fight Night. Park called out any member of Aces & 8s. 4 members of Aces & 8s came & surrounded the ring. Angle came down to help out & was jumped by Aces & 8s then Sting came with a bat & cleared the ring.

Backstage Samoa Joe was icing his head & said Magnus made a big mistake & lets throw out the rules. Joe said he will kill him.

ODB came to the ring & called out Tara’s boyfriend Jesse. ODB vs Jesse, Jesse wins.

Robbie E. with Robbie T. came to the ring & called out Jeff Hardy. Robbie E. vs Hardy, Hardy wins. After the match Austin Aries came out to the stage. He has the World Title Belt & told Hardy to pick up his ugly belt. Aries said the only difference between the 2 are 3 seconds & he will climb the ladder again. Hardy gets a ladder & sets it up & climbs up it. Hardy said lets make our match at Turning Point a ladder match. Aries said he wasn’t going to do it.

A video was showed of the opening of Hogan’s Beach Shop where Matt Morgan confronted Hogan. Morgan took a old robe of Hogan’s & said to Hogan watch the history he makes with it. Hogan said you can’t take that & Morgan said that he just did. Hogan was watching a monitor in the back & he said starting to figure it out. James Storm approached Hogan & asked for a World Title shot. Hogan said if Storm was a betting man that he might have an idea for him.

Bobby Roode came out to the ring & said he wasn’t here to fight & he is being screwed because he was left out last week for the World Title match. AJ Styles came to the ring & said he should be the World Champion & told Roode to quit his crying. AJ called out Roode for a fight, Roode said no & then attacked AJ from behind. Hogan came out with James Storm & said both Roode & Styles deserve a title shot. Hogan made a match for Turning Point, A triple threat match with Roode, Styles & Storm where the winner gets a World Title shot but the person who gets pinned wont get another title shot until Bound For Glory next year.

Joey Ryan & Matt Morgan come to the ring. Morgan was wearing Hogan’s robe. Ryan called out Rob Van Dam. Ryan vs RVD, Ryan wins. After the match Morgan laid out RVD with a big boot.

Angle & Sting cleared Gallows out of the ring.

 

TNA Calls Out WWE For Copying Storyline….. Sort Of

If you follow the wrestling industry like we do here at DTRT Wrestling News then it is no secret that the WWE has been in a tough spot for many weeks. Not only is their top star (John Cena) out of action do to an emergency operation on his elbow which forced creative writers and ultimately Vince McMahon to come up with a last minute substitute in Ryback for the Hell In a Cell pay-per-view, you also have poor ratings coming in for the 11th straight week with viewers tuning out during the third hour.

To add to what seams to be a growing list of issues within the company it looks like the WWE got caught using a TNA Wrestling storyline outline as the basis for the AJ / Cena “Scandal”. If you have followed TNA for the last few months you know that one of TNA Wrestling’s most notable talent’s A.J. Styles was involved with a similar storyline with a character by the name of Claire Lynch, which was eventually cut short due to the actress playing the role receiving heavy backlash.

The storyline which dealt with the idea that AJ Styles had an affair with a woman and got her pregnant has many similarities to the current WWE storyline involving AJ Lee and John Cena.

– Evidence for the affairs photos and videos of both getting into an elevator

– Both are based in accusations by others in the company

It remains to be seen if the current WWE storyline will continue into the near future especially now that TNA star AJ Styles appeared to acknowledged the similarities during a promo segment with Bobby Roode on this week’s Impact Wrestling broadcast on SPIKE TV.

During the segment AJ Styles said while Roode was champion, AJ had to deal with issues of his own, like being taped getting into an elevator with a member of the opposite sex, which is apparently the fad if your name is AJ.

If you saw WWE Raw this week you know that Vickie Guerrero showed her “evidence” of AJ Lee and John Cena’s alleged affair the main piece of which was video of the two getting into an elevator. While it’s humorous this slight jab at the WWE could not have come at a more worst time for the WWE.

As mentioned above the 3-hour Raw format is producing bad ratings with viewership dropping right at the top of the hour, a less then perfect outcome from Hell In a Cell and apparent issues and shake-ups within the WWE creative department.

AJ Styles is considered one of the original TNA wrestlers he has even stated that as far as he knew he was the first one signed in 2002.
