Both have an nWo thing going on....both have some ex-WWE guys hanging around. It's TNA vs. ROH. It's Aces & Eights vs. S.C.U.M. Who's better/cooler? Cut and dry. THIS..................is a tough one, fans. I couldn't find a new SCUM vid.

There's not really anyone in Aces And Eights with anything approaching a "cool factor". Putting D-Lo in biker gear just looks weird to me. SCUM loses cool points for having Matt Hardy involved, but the team is designed to be unlikable; which is different from the nWo where they were trying to out-cool and "out face" the WCW faces. This is a classic heel faction that is meant to be hated. The key factor that makes SCUM better to me is the youth side of the team. Aces and Eights have no one outside of---Luke Gallows (can't remember what they call him) who is both good and young. SCUM has Jacobs, Titus, and Rave. I'm not counting Steen because you can tell where this is going just by looking at that picture posted here. The whole team is built for the sole reason to turn Kevin Steen.
Basically Aces And Eights has been dragging out for a while now with no real clear cut direction. SCUM is a necessity to get things caught up to speed after a year where ROH kind of spun wheels with them and most of their other stories. I would be amazed if SCUM isn't finished by fall, but I bet Aces And Eights keeps on going aimlessly for as long as Eric Bischoff can convince someone in TNA that dudes in their 40s wearing leather vests is what all the kids want to see.

Great breakdown there Mark. I completely agree.

I also voted S.C.U.M mostly because Kevin Steen is one of my top fav wrestlers right now in any fed. I'm also a late blooming Corino fan.
Aces & Eights is nothing more than Eric Bischoff masturbating to his own biker fantasies mixed with his 9 billionth nWo "idea". 0 stars.

What the crap does Aces and 8's mean anyways??? And what does it have to do with bikers??
SCUM makes perfect sense to me. Especially with Jimmy Jacobs in it.

Aces and Eights is known in poker as the Dead Man's Hand from legend of an outlaw that was shot dead in a game of poker and had that hand. Personally I think Luke Gallows is awesome. Mike Knox is in the group too right? I think he is pretty sweet too. I can see both getting future runs with WWE again

As I noted in my previous post, Aces And Eights will probably ramble on for as long as Uncle Eric can convince someone it's a good idea. To prove this point, they taped a PPV that is supposed to be shown in November and Aces And Eights was its own "country" in a "world cup challenge" with teams from all over the world. So they're scheduled to last at least to the end of the year.
PS: Why in the name of all that is right are they taping PPVs EIGHT MONTHS in advance?

Mark, asking why ANYTHING is done in TNA/Impact is a leading cause of brain damage. WWE may suck, but TNA/Impact makes that stuff look like TCM during Oscar sweeps in comparison!
