“They took r gimmick!” - Wes Briscoe

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

RE; The Shield/Aces & Eights

“All those guys that we were together with, we stuck together, we hung out together, we were together. I mean, we took this [seriously]. We wanted to be very successful. We wanted to treat it like it was our baby, our opportunity to set an example and create something totally different.

"Because if you look at it, that's what started The Shield because of us. If you really look at it, we started before The Shield even came through the crowd, we had the mask on. Basically, [they did] the exact same thing."

I thought the Aces & Eights gimmick was lame members.

[FinalGwen]

Hmm. Yep. Never seen a wrestler in a half-mask come out of the crowd before. Aces And Eights definitely started that...

Eric Bischoff should of been Roman Reigns.

Well we know there's one lame member. We haven't seen the other guys' pieces yet.

I can't believe Edge ripped off Wes Briscoe in 1997.

Edit: Like an idiot I misremembered the names of the Briscoes. Completely forgot Wes existed.

[Chainsaw]

That guy's an idiot.

Let's say, hypothetically, WWE stole the gimmick. You know what?

Aces & Eights happened on national television with the second-biggest wrestling company in the country while Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were around. And yet, nothing happens.

WWE decides to use the same gimmick and people take to it and Shield gets over.

Yeah, darn WWE for stealing that gimmick. Darn them straight to hell.

Eric Bischoff would make a better Roman Reigns than Garrett Bischoff.

And yet Aces & Eights was a gigantic ripoff of Sons of Anarchy

Gah, I meant Carrot.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

.....Shut up, Wes.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

yes... a biker gang is totally the same as 3 guys in riot gear.

and Aces and Eights are neither the first people who wore masks or came out through the crowd.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Yes, the reason for Shield wearing masks was Aces and Eights, it had absolutely nothing to do with a certain movie that opened the weekend they first wore them. It's just a coincidence that they wore them for the first time at Wrestlemania 30, which was the same weekend that Winter Soldier opened.

Honestly since Eric Bischoff was involved I'm surprised that we never got a feud between Aces & Eights and that loser biker gang from that shitty reality TV show he produced for the Discovery Channel.

[Rave]

Is this because WWE canned him for being complete shit and wouldn't hire him again?

Seriously, the gimmicks are different and he's an idiot.

And Damn The Sandman for doing it too and the Flock.

[cjb01: Limited Edition Item!]

Man no wonder this kid got released despite who his dad was.

[mrbananagrabber]

Well, I know if I saw the absolute dog-turd that was Aces & Eights, the first thing I'm going to do is copy it.

[Deleted]

Somebody actually spoke to Wes Briscoe.
