10 Awesome TNA Moments Everyone Forgets

3. Bully Ray Becomes Aces & Eights Leader

Shifting a ton of weight, the man formerly known as 'Bubba Dudley' and 'Brother Ray' morphed from a stellar tag-team wrestler into a valuable singles star for TNA. Re-named 'Bully Ray', the Dudley Boy turned a lot of heads with his performances, impressing virtually everyone with his new-found physique and conditioning. The man may now be gone from the promotion, but he deserves a lot of credit for being one of the men who kept things afloat for the company, and maintained interest, via his excellent promos and better-than-expected matches. Working as a main event talent for one of the first times in his career, Ray was a success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5xOdpKJ59M 'Aces & Eights' was a faction practically invented to play off the popular TV show, Sons Of Anarchy, and whilst it was little more than just another wrestling stable, the reveal of Bully Ray as the leader was expertly done. At LockDown 2013, Bully Ray defeated Jeff Hardy for the TNA World Title inside a Steel Cage, but not before being unveiled as the mastermind being the Aces & Eights concept.
