TNA - 02-03-11 - Who Are "THEY" Now?

Well for the past two weeks we've witnessed attacks on Abyss and AJ Styles from Amazing Red's "little brother" Crimson.  The warning, although not as catchy as it was last year is that on 2-3-11 "THEY" are coming, and "THEY" are going to take out each and every single member of Immortal.

Okay, so who are "THEY" now?

Way prior to TNA Bound For Glory and 10-10-10 I nailed it right off saying that "THEY" (at that time) were already there and that "THEY" were Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, of course using the usual Hogan and Bischoff MO of doing nothing unique, innovatie or surprising.  Now, however, I find myself a little stumped when trying to guess who "THEY" might be this time around.

I am sure the first people to come to mind are nWo Wolfpac breathern Kevin Nash and Sting.  I guess if we were to go with doing nothing unique, innovative or surprising they would be a sure bet to be the new "THEY".  However, true to his reputation "silent but violent" Sting has been pretty silent.  While not too long ago Kevin Nash was again ranting and complaining because no one was calling him the "icon".  So unless TNA has been able to dig into a really big wallet I doubt we will be seeing Nash show up within the next couple of weeks.

As for the other founding members of nWo Wolfpac, Scott Hall and Shawn "X-pac" Waltman, I am going to say it is a sure bet that neither of them will be part of the new "THEY" either.  The last anyone heard from X-pac he was sniffing around, trying to appeal to the McMahons in the vain hope that they will bring back the Attitude Era to the WWE now that Linda McMahon has lost her bid for the U.S. Senate.  And old "cowboy" Scott Hall as of late is in Juggalo Championshit Wrestling, and in pursuit of in his words "The only title left in this business that means anything", the JCW Championship.  (Really?  Scott you seriously need to lay off that shit you're smoking and drinking before Nash has to pull out that suit he says he bought for your funeral a few years back.)

Could "THEY" be the ECW Originals/EV.2?  I tend to doubt it.  I have the feeling most of those releases the Bischoff was handing out were not there as kafaybe plot devices or story elements.  EV.2, even the heavy hitters who helped build TNA in the past such as Rhino and Raven did little to advance that fiasco of a storyline.

Barring those who should be the usual suspects I think perhaps that "THEY" will be a group new to TNA, possibly made up of relative unknowns like Crimson, and perhaps a few more recently released WWE talent such as MVP, and one hopes, Shad Gaspard.  It definately would not hurt TNA's terribly shaky credibility to acquire Low-Ki, especially considering the popularity and following he brought with him during his run on WWE NXT Season Two, and the history and controversy surrounding his asking for a release so soon after being moved to the Smackdown main roster.

Is 2-3-11 going to be a mindblowing night, or is it going to be another fart in the car from the creative team at TNA?  Based on the company's history over the past year + I am afraid that the fans are in for antother let down.
