Does anyone think Magnus WILL be a future heavyweight champ?

And if so - what sort of timescale so they don't rush it OR take too long?

For sure, back end of this year, probably only to please the Brits and also will depend if he's over outside the Impact Zone.

I think he could get over as a major face, he's a good talker which he could adopt a personna that would get the fans behind him, I dont think he even needs a major gimmick.

I'd say Bound for Glory next year, realistically I can see Adouble, Roode and Storm being TNA champions in the next year and a half, not sure if/when Hardy drops it he will get it back.

The psychollogy in the Aeries Roode match was quality, the fake chair shots were real funny, why aren't TNA getting bigger ratings? It's so much better then WWE imo.
Part of the reason is the lower production values etc., so hopefully moving out of the IZ will help that.

But the other part is that they just get the simple things wrong - all the time. Having their WHC miss four shows - arguably their biggest four Impact episodes of the year, in fact - was short-sighted and foolish. Turning one of the best heels in the business, Bully Ray, into a face who fauns over the awful Brooke Hogan and talks about going out for meals on Valentine's Day, was a stupid decision.

Thankfully, for every dropped ball, there is usually something solid to fall back on. Roode and Aries are fantastic, as are Kaz and Daniels. The wrestling is of a high quality, as evidenced by matches like Angle/Joe and RVD/Storm this week. Despite the Aces and Eights being largely a failure so far, they have still kept viewers guessing as to the identity of the leaders, and what role - if any - a returning AJ Styles may play in the drama.

At the moment, I am leaning towards the following...

- Bully Ray wins the belt off Jeff Hardy at Lockdown, possibly via Brooke interference (presuming he gets the title shot, which judging by the end of Impact this week, he will)
- It is eventually revealed that Brooke and Bully are members of the A&E - under the leadership of Jeff Jarrett
- The title is basically held hostage by the A&E until October, when a returning AJ Styles wins the BFG series and reclaims the belt for TNA and himself, ending the A&E angle

Shades of Sting/nWo and the way WWE has booked Cena in 2013, but I'd like to see it and think that something along these lines will happen.

I hope Bully isn't a member of A&8, I understand they have to act out storylines but sometimes it suspends disbelief.

Like Wes Briscoe and Garrett running in for the save of Kurt Angle when A&8 were pummeling him - what was the point unless it was for show which = they knew they were being filmed and that's the fourth wall imo.

It probably happened too a couple of years back when Fourtune were in Immortal until 'they' revealed themselves, it's obviously the norm for frequent face and heel turns but the longer a wrestler pretends to be one when they are infact the other - the less realistic the product is imo.

King Mo got knocked the **** out by a journeyman last night, which exposes the slight problem of having to push someone as a bad ass when they're involved in MMA. Interesting to see how hard TNA will have to push him due to Bellator being on the same network as them. Hey maybes he's the leader of Aces & 8's.

Seems like its now tradition for a British guy to nearly break his neck at a taping here.

Oh my! Party Marty should never step foot inside a TNA ring again! Screwing up spots like that will hurt yourself and others!

Don't know whats happened there, they made a big announcement about him coming, but hes only been seen the once, hasn't been seen since

Same, him now being a good guy, marrying Brooke to get into the Hogan family etc..., just doesn't add up at all, im just waiting for his reveal

Well Angle unmasked the leader on Impact but no face shown. I haven't seen the show but it's meant to be a very good show, only one Impact Zone event left, thank goodness.

Not the leader, the Vice President.

With Kurt's reaction it has to be Abyss/Park, anything else wouldn't make sense

Oh and how good would it be if SHANE MCMAHON was leader of Ace's and 8's, proper swerve that would actually make a big splash across all pro wrestling

I'd hate that, would remind me of the final WCW Nitro when he turned up there.
