He has been around, and he saw this small company grow into a full-fledged monster in 2012. There is so much talent in the back, but it is hard to decide who is the best of the best. The fans can vote on TNA wrestler of the year, and on January 3rd, they announce the winner.

Aces and 8s make their way out to the arena. They stay on the floor, and as Devon starts to talk, Hulk says Devon should have come by himself. Devon says hulk has told so many lies, he is actually believing them. Devon says 2012 was the year of Aces and 8s. 2012 was the year that Aces and 8s beat the hell out of all of the TNA wrestlers. It goes like this, their club represents the truth, and not the garbage Hulk has been saying. 2013 will be the year of Aces and 8, and it will also be the year that they are revealed and that they accomplish their goals.

He brings out Daniels as his special guest for the Christmas festivities. Daniels is complete with scarf and appletini.

Kaz announced him as “the guy with the biggest sack,” and Daniels is so excited to meet him. Kaz says Santa always does his job so well, they decided to get HIM a gift. ZUBAZ PANTS! Santa offers hugs as thanks. Santa asks Daniels to sit on his knee, and Kaz takes a photo of them together. Santa asks if Daniels has been a good boy this season, and the crowd chants NO.

Daniels says he and Kaz have so much already, and Christmas is about giving gifts. Daniels then says, he wants to use his gift for someone that really needs it. He asks to give AJ’s kids something, because AJ won’t be able to afford anything for them this year!

James Storm heads out to the ring, and he does not appear to be amused. He says he was in the back and listening to them mock Christmas. Storm says to mock AJ all they want, but when you try and ruin Christmas, that will not happen on his watch. Daniels says to Santa that Storm is on the naughty list, and is also why AJ cannot challenge for the title, Storm was selfish. Storm heads to the ring, and Santa tries to stop Storm. Storm asks who he is, and Santa says he is Santa. Storm say she has a bone to pick with him. When he was 6, he asked for a Red Rider BB gun, and he got a note instead, saying he’d shoot his eye out. At 16 he asked for a truck, and instead got a toy truck. Storm say she knows he is busy, and then asks what he asked for last year. Santa says a Travis Tritt CD. Storm says it was close, and says he asked for beer. He SUPERKICKS Santa! Daniels and Kaz bail. Storm puts on Santa’s hat and tosses gifts to the crowd.
