The Aces & 8s thing was pretty surprising (although I think Brak pretty much predicted it). I hate the ending though, even if it was a surprise. Pretty sure Devon's not the leader, and the group will be comprised of guys shit-canned from TNA / WWE. The leader is Probably Eric Bishoff leading / consulting / financing them and the big "shock" will be Garret turning his back on TNA to join his dad. The leader? Probably someone like Jarret.
I like Jeff Hardy. Hell, I was a diehard Hardy fan pretty much since he left WWE. That said, I hate his TNA run and I hate the fact that they rushed a Heel turn for AA and had him lose cleanly to Jeff. Unless this leads to him getting a clean win of his own down the line, I'll pretty much chalk his entire TNA run to starting out awesome, but ending on a shitty note.
