At Bound for Glory he was talking to somebody in the back and he said something along the lines of "They thought you were dead...they thought you up and split...and they thought you'd never trust me again my brother. Paraphrasing. Of course, not one motherf***er came to his rescue that we weren't expecting so who was he talking to and why did he choose such shitty back-up?

I thought it was Anderson, or maybe Huckster er Hulkster. Either way whoever it was must have taken one look at the show, and balked lol.

Little Jimmy. He pushed Bully out of the way and AJ dove onto him and through the table.

Gotta think it was Anderson and the rest of the club. After Bully yelled at, then hit (accidentally mind you) Knux, they decided to bail thus the awkwardness when Dixie made her appearance.

I was just about to make this thread, because that promo and it's (lack of) aftermath just summed up a lot about this show. Seriously, I feel like I could write a graduate degree thesis about it.
Bully is shown speaking to some "mystery men". We all know that Aces and Eights have seen their numbers dwindle, but Bully spoke of a "rebirth" for them, and there were even hints on Twitter about perhaps some old faces showing up (Devon? Anderson? DOC? A one-off surprise member?).
This opens up a lot of opportunities, especially given the no DQ main event. When the match began, I thought we were going to see a steady progression of Aces and Eights interference, one guy at a time, building up the surprise of guys returning or what have you. When it began with Bischoff just sort of nonchalantly getting involved, I figured "good; start small. If you must overbook this, start it that way, and gradually build."
Build to what, though? That'd be the fun of it. Maybe the returning guys would help Bully...then again, maybe not. Maybe Anderson and DOC would turn their backs on him, signaling the final dissolving of the group, as their leader is left alone to deal with a fully ready AJ Styles.
...But none of that happened.
So why tease any of it? Why have a no-DQ match? If all you had were Bischoff, Knux, and Dixie Carter, why not just make it a straight-up match, no gimmicks, just a strong style brawl between AJ and Bully, who are both more than capable of a great outing? Then end it with Knux and Bischoff seeing that Bully couldn't get it done on his own, and have them walk out on him.
Instead, they began building a match that seemed to point to what I described before, but it was almost as if they had a bunch of guys lined up and just changed their minds at the last second.
Seriously one of the weirdest things I've seen in ages.

Like I said in the other thread, he was coming out of a bathroom. So probably the bathroom attendant. Poor guy just asked if he wanted paper towels, but everyone knows Bully never washes his hands after taking a piss.

I thought it was Devon, and the "brother" thing was supposed to make us think Hogan while he was just being literal.
Maybe it was Vacant?

I thought they would pull back to reveal he was talking to nobody and that he had gone completely delusional, starting to map out directions for DOC to run in, Anderson to hit the mic check, and Ortiz to use the hammer.

I bet Dixie Carter would be willing to shell out every penny that Panda Energy has left to steal the current WWE champion away from Vince.

I was just about to make this thread, because that promo and it's (lack of) aftermath just summed up a lot about this show. Indeed. My guess is that the concept was "Bully brought back all the former members, but when he expects them to come out, they don't, and they'll explain on Impact that they changed their mind when Knux got hit, and chose to rally behind Anderson". Which would mean it was an angle only booked to lead to Impact, just like Angle's newfound conscience + injury, just like the Sabin/Velvet shenanigans, just like Magnus smugness, just like AJ/Dixie, and so on. The entire PPV was really a big teaser for Impact, just like nothing's resolved anymore during WWE PPVs, and you've got to wait for the next Raw to get some progress. :\

Huge pop. Also, bracing for it now...it's the White Hummer.
