Motorcycle gang ranks?
[edit]OK, so there seems to be a parallel between Aces & 8s and a motorcycle gang, based on their looks. But they all have patches that say "Prospect." Since when do Prospects speak for the club?
members
[edit]Is there some reason it can't be named who's in the group? You can clearly see who some of them actually are even on TV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.134.44 (talk) 12:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Titles
[edit]If Devon was part of Aces & 8s, must we include his TV Title regin to the article? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 21:47, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- No, because that happened before this angle started. If he happens to win it back now, then that should be noted. InedibleHulk (talk) 15:35, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be titled "Aces & Eights"?
[edit]Most references used in the article spell it out. WP:COMMONNAME applies here. Per MOS:NUMBERS#Numbers as figures or words, there should be consistency with spelled numbers and numerals. We could change it to "1s and 8s", but that looks stupid. Objections? InedibleHulk (talk) 15:46, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Also, does anyone ever call them "The Aces and Eights" on TV? I mostly just watch PPVs, and nobody seems to there. InedibleHulk (talk) 15:49, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
OK, I moved it. I figure it's straightforward and uncontroversial enough. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
- TNA themselves tend to use "Aces & 8s" ([1]) but it's not really an important distinction. McPhail (talk) 18:45, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
- Here they use "8s" in the title, but "Eights" throughout the article. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:50, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Ball-peen hammer, eh?
[edit]In other words, did several members beat Sting with a hammer, or did several members beat Sting, and one beat him with a hammer? I didn't see the episode, but it seems silly to picture them passing the hammer around. Of course, TNA is sometimes silly. Clarification? InedibleHulk (talk) 23:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I just watched Turning Point and answered my own question. I've clarified that DOC did the hammering. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Aces & Eights
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Aces & Eights's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Ivelisse Velez
[edit]Shouldn't Ivelisse Be listed as a member or at least an associate, since she served as Part of team Aces & Eights at TNA World cup of wrestling Show? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.29.145.154 (talk) 20:11, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Former Members
[edit]Someone has put under former members "Mike". Can somebody change that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.113.145 (talk) 09:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- Two sources call him member. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 13:05, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- "Mike" might not have been a known wrestler, or have appeared since, but he was undeniably presented as a member of the Aces & Eights during his appearance, so he should be listed. It's comparable to the actor who played The Commandant in The Truth Commission. McPhail (talk) 19:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- That makes sense to me. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Two more questions. Is Ivelisse Velez a former member? She wrestled as part of A&8 at One Night Only. 2, Does somebody know Mike's identity? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 22:29, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- One Night Only PPVs are non-canon, like a Treehouse of Horror, so I'd say wait for her to show up on Impact. No clue about Mike. I haven't even seen the guy. I mainly just watch PPVs. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:36, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- Let's wait for the World Cup One Night Only PPV to air in November 2013 before considering Ivelisse. Starship.paint (talk) 02:05, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

I changed the PWMania to a more reliable PWInsider link, and reworded the content in the History. Starship.paint (talk) 02:00, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
