Aces and 8s - who has benefited?

Quite a simple question for you that watch TNA Impact.

Out of all the guys in the stable, who has been a success in their roles?

Who will come out of Aces and 8s as a bigger star than before they started?

Anyone?

Everyone?

Vote for each member who you think has improved their status and let us know why you think so.

There should a no-one option.

bully ray as he has been the focal point of the group and the leader so he has come out of it looking even stronger as a heel than he did before his face turn with the hogans

you really are a TNA sourpuss

Bully is back pretty much in the position he was before aces n eights. They devalued him so they could build him up again, although least now he has the belt.

D'Lo and Taz are the other two to have benefited, not that it says a lot for where they were beforehand and the priorities of the 'push'.

For me, I voted for garret as he was a joke before hand and now he is a goon.

Taz was awful on commentary before but he is bearable now.

Finally, I really like DOC. I think he will come out of this okay

Maybe its not that they are poorly utilising DUCK and Necks but protecting them from the shambles of Aces n Eights by not letting them wrestle

I would say most of them have benefited from the aces and eights angle.
Tazz is better on commentary although anything would have been an improvement.
D-LO wasn't even mentioned or wrestling.
Garret bischoff was a no one and is part of something.
Wes brisco was being under utilised so getting him shown is a start. Rather than hanging with angle.
Doc and Knox weren't on tv just doing odd Indy show.
Dvon well was getting a bit boring before the story so gave him an edge

Only one it hasn't benefited is Mr Anderson, but he been drifting around upper mid card for a bit. Hard to follow when he is heel one week face the next.

Also I think bully ray has gone back to where he was. Bad ass heel that looks strong and can promo.

I think they've all (bar Taz) benefitted purely from increased time in front of the camera...keeping them in the eyes and minds of the fans.

Bischoff and Briscoe have had the additional benefit of some ring time, but not really had any kind of push to suggest they will feature prominently in the future.

DOC, Knox and D-Lo I can see going back to whatever they were doing before. Unlike Wes and Garrett, I'm guessing they're getting towards the end of their active / in-ring careers. Think they were just used to fill out the ranks.

Don't think Devon or Anderson have really got anything out of it as they were already well established figures beforehand. That said, A&E were a useful vehicle for getting them re-involved, with Devon disappearing after his contract ran out and Anderson not involved in anything.

I think Bully is far and away the biggest winner out of this story. Although he was already a major figure, building the whole story around him has elevated him from being a normal top heel to something just short of a criminal mastermind. Its going to be interesting to see what they do with him once this story is done. Surely anything that follows has to be a bit of a comedown...especially if he does lose the title to Sting or Styles?

I dont think there has been enough to say anyone has benefited from the specific angle. Knox and DOC dont do anything, Briscoe and Bischoff never get any real action on Impact, Devon is wrestling less but in the same position. Bully has basically gone from being one of the best heels to being the only heel. None of those have done anything I would look at and credit Aces n Eights for. Tazz has notably improved on commentary as he now has a direction to pull in, whilst D'Lo Brown has been given unnecessary exposure again. Mr Anderson? He is just 'there' like he always appears to be in TNA. Not really a big deal but around the place anyway

I really want to see Mr Kennedy back in WWE! By the sounds of it he is justing wasting his life in TNA.
