The best run of Bully Ray's career. Aces and Eights was a faction full of midcarders at the very best, but by god did he pull it all together. This was the last time TNA really felt like captivating TV.

i miss this old TNA

one of my favorite catch phrases "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???"

I liked the Aces and Eights storyline. It was interesting, and this was the peak. It went downhill when they started removing people.

Fair play for Bully Ray. In his solo run, he really stepped it up. Awesome on the mic, worked with anyone. Well done, sir.

Brother Devon was gold on the mic

The production values, the crowd size, etc. I miss this TNA. 😔

I miss the Bully Ray character. :(

Glad to see Bubba/Bully get his chance to be champ. He's been in the business for 20 years or more and has always given his all. Nobody has paid their dues more than this guy without a world title. Congrats Mark! You deserve it.

This was when TNA Impact Wrestling was the BEST Thing Going! Aces & Eights! Look how many people in the crowd were cheering for them!

Look at that crowd. This was a high point for TNA. Say what you will but the Hogan era was a high point. Too bad it got destroyed.

Am I the only one that missed Bully Ray yelling "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" Welcome back to being a heel Bully, you were missed.

Man it’s almost been 10 years since this legendary angle that doesn’t get enough credit. The Aces and Eights have a special place in my heart as I started watching TNA around the time the debuted. Before then I was only watching WWE.

one of my favourite heel runs

Aces & Eights was fucking awesome

This was Tna impact at its peak! Now look at the state of impact wrestling

Literally the greatest storyline in TNA history 👍👍👍

The Aces ‘n’ Eights period in Impact was more interesting than even what AEW is currently doing. And it was definitely better than what WWE was pushing at that time.

When you ride with Aces and Eights, You never walk alone

the S.O.A. of TNA

Damn look at that crowd

Aces and Eights was one of the best stables I've seen in pro wrestling in a long time. Its an underrated stable I think. Also, the storyline was very good but eventually went on for too long but while it lasted, it was a damn great time for TNA.

Loved how even as soloists within the group, they both still had belts. Bully as World champ D-Von as Television champ

Anytime Devon got on the mic, all I heard was Reverend D-Von lol

Who’s here after the tease from IMPACT last night

And when you ride with the aces and eights, You’ll never ride alone!

They pulled off the aces and eights storyline leading up to Bully’s first title run brilliantly!

The aces and eights was the best story line impact ever had

This is the best thing to happen to TNA since Kurt Angle arrived and Bully Ray deserves this after years of hard matches.. He is a perfect heel..

Still an amazing angle even in 2020

Aces and 8s was the NWO of TNA. Incredible faction! One of the best factions in pro wrestling history. Respect.

It's gonna be a matter of time until we all start to miss Aces and 8's, just accept it.

2:59 MY RINGTONE!

Anyone starting to appreciate how TNA had their arena setup this timeframe compared to now

The best heel in professional wrestling. Thank The Lord that bully ray is finally world champ, he deserves it! This is just pure awesomeness!

I missed this Live but this is when TNA was at is peak.

And damn you bring TV Title back !!!

It's funny how smarks fail to realize Ace's & Eights was basically the precursor of Bullet Club.

Dam Bubba was in such better shape here than he is now :( sad he gained that weight back and he can't portray THIS character. You'd figure with WWE's schedule being more strenuous he'd be in better shape whereas TNA really wasn't all that bad in terms of dates they actually traveled and worked.

The Shield is the group that got me back into wrestling. It's why I'm even commenting on this video. I heard so much about them I had to check out their matches and promos and I was impressed.

Devon/D-Von at 3:52 😂😂😂

I was obsessed with this segment of tna.. I made sure I watched it every week..

i miss this =(

I love bully ray he's so epic aces and eights storyline is actually getting real good

Dox has been in some legendary factions

I think one of the thing I loved of IMPACT WRESTLING was their stables and tag teams. The Wolves, motorcity machine guns, LAX, Team 3D, Main Event Mafia, Fortune, Immortal. Shame most of these teams left.

I put this in the mold of JBL when he became WWE champion. Was a shock but if you noticed both had been laying the ground work about a year before hand. Bully got in great shape and his promos got better as well.

I give TNA credit. This storyline has been done really well these past few months. It's cool to see Bully with that championship. He's been the top heel in TNA the past couple of years.

I was hope for a jeff Jarrett reveal I was look forward to seeing chris masters and john Morrison in the group too but luke gallows and Mike Knox and Wes Briscoe were welcome additions to the tna roster impact needs another mystery invasion like them and aces and eights let it be people who are on the current roster and bring in some new fresh faces from the independent circuit

I love this theme!

Glad you had fun, according to your review of the live show. =)

ahhh I miss it when tna was on the road and they performed in bigger crowds like this. just looks so much better then the impact zone

Aces and Eight Rules

TNA....thanks for putting this playlist together!

Do You Know Who I Am??? Iconic TNA word's I love it, when plan comes together Aces & 8s and making leader Bully Ray TNA World Heavyweight Champion against Jeff Hardy in that steal cage match with a hammer attack.

Bully ray is brock lesnar and paul heyman merged together because he has heymans voice and some of his weight and he has some strengh and is big

Did Taz eat Taz?

Such a throwback, used to love this

Bully Ray was the best thing going in the company at that time. To this day he's one of my favorite heels.

i never thought bubba ray dudley would ever be a world champion!!! the dudley boyz are one of those tag teams that don't look like they should ever been split apart

This was the peak of TNA wrestling. They should have stayed in the Impact zone and kept making their product better. They took the show on the road and just wore out the talent all over the company. When they did travel once a month or every other month, it felt special. The impact zone should have been the pages to the story and the bigger arenas would be the final chapters. Slammiversary 2012 was the best TNA tv product and PPV product.

Impact is coming back to this level of interest now. Love it.

Remember it watching live. I really miss these days man

2:25 Something is in Anderson's eye for a few shots

best heal turn ever

Bully Ray as World Champion. Thats a long time coming.

At 6:13 when the camera show the crowd in middle right side I thought it was Bruce Willis in a white sweatshirt 😂😂😂

6:30 I loved it when the bully ray insulted the NWO

They killed this angle when Sabin won the title for no reason

You're right bout that. I forgot about that feud. Thanks for reminding me.

He was in the WWE until Early-2003, got released, wrestled in TNA, All Japan Pro Wrestling & several other indy wrestling promotions, for several years & then, came back to the WWE in Mid-2008 & got released 5-and-a-half months later, I think.

OMG WTF is that at 1:09 next to Bully ?

Do You Know Who I Am???

The first time the lyrical version of the song was used. And I LOVED IT

I wish IMPACT would have crowds again like this

I see a good brother 🤷‍♂️

look at that crowd

I never saw bully ray as a championship contender before, but with this whole aces and eights thing i actually thinks its genius.

This aces&eights storyline was cool it brought the mystery back to wrestling

Need to bring this back.. do you know who I am 😎

Was a good stable with a decent storyline that was destined to fail Good points .The name was good I bought it as a legit MC name .The intro music was great suited the stable .The suspense to who was involved was great, I remember when I watched TNA weekly I would search through dirt sheets to find names.. also the reveals payed off .Doc gallows and Mike Knox or knux were believable MC members that looked great .Had genuine momentum to start off with and decent heat But... . (With the exception of doc gallows and Mike Knox) I didn't buy the members as MC members .Most of the members were ex WWE employees (I know that was a lot of TNA since 07/08 to that moment) but it gave the stable a reject WWE feel imo .Being honest they were mid carders and nothing more (except maybe bully Ray) .I don't know if they could've been booked to look legit, but being buried by AJ Styles and the mem they had no chance to be taken as a serious threat to anything Overall I liked them great build up with a moderate reveal, with more believable members and good booking they could've been huge and helped TNA. Nothing against these guys but with (especially) Garrett Bischoff, Wes Brisco and d-lo brown (not 100% sure on Mr Anderson) I don't think it would've ever worked no matter the booking.

its been getting very good

That tease was awesome @ Slammiversay

bully ray best heel of all time

I like the whole aces & 8 thing

Impact Wrestling would kill to have an audience like this in 2020.

Thank you Bubba

That was great. You didn't need big superstars to make a great stable.

Bully ray is god aces & eights rule

This was peak TNA gosh I loved this era so much

Its been a long time coming. Congrats to Bubba Ray Dudley!

rumors has it next monday on raw he coming back as bully ray

He definitely should of been Wwf champion he has the mic work and charisma

boy do i miss impact

How did Bubba ray dudley get to be a main eventer and world champion?!!! Never saw it coming!!!!

Why is there no NWO vs Aces and eights videos?

Bully Ray is the guy! Thank you TNA!!!

It was awesome....missed those days

Ya think Devon bladed 1 time too many? Holy christ
