I was wondering if any one had actually used this pairing as a tag team? I've been thinking about it since reading that throw away line in the Legends International book, and since both men were at one time managed by Sir Oliver Humperdink, I was thinking they may work as the tag team for my House of Humperdink.

The New Can-Am Connection?

I was leaning towards calling them "Brad Armstrong and The Mountie" (clever, no?). But before I clear two roster spots for these guys, I'm going to have to run a few "try-out matches". I'll see how they do against some established teams, and post the results here.

Well The Mountie is my Canadian Heavyweight Champion right now if one can believe it. Will that last long? We will see. Brad Armstrong has been teamed with his Dad and the two of them have still been having trouble with Jimmy Snuka/Ray Stevens.
I think teaming them will be interesting at least.

So how goes the pairing between The Mountie and Brad Armstrong? Was it what you expected?

I ran the duo of Brad Armstrong and the Mountie through five try-out matches:
First up were the Killer Bees. Statistically, The Bees were the team to which the Mountie and Brad were the closest to. As one would expect, this was a close match, that could have gone either way. Both teams spent a good chunk of time on offense, with The Mountie playing Ricky Morton for his duo. In the end, Blair put Mountie away with the Bee Sting.
Next, they faced the cream of the tag division, The Road Warriors (LE). This was a very suprising match, because not only were Mountie and Brad competitive, but it’s not unfair to say they were dominating. Only back to back snake-eyes (first on the ropes chart, and then on Mountie’s pin) cost them the match.
The James Gang was next. I got to tell you, this feud writes itself. The match was ridiculously good, lots of quick tags and changes in momentum. The senior Armstrong brother’s superior agility proved the difference maker as he counter a clothesline attempt by BG James into a spinning leg lariat for the win.
The Kangaroos were up next. This was just an incredibly boring match. The Roos were on offense from the start, and never relinquished control. The only thing worse then a squash is a squash that takes freaking forever, and that’s what this was.
Finally, The Mountie and Armstrong took on the Eaton and Condrey version of the Midnight Express. Very entertaining match. Both teams got in good chunks of offense. The Mountie showed amazing resilience, racking up eight fatigue tokens before finally falling to Condrey’s face first leg sweep.
All in all, I was surprised by how well the duo did against the Road Warriors, The James Gang, and The Midnight Express. With a manager who doesn’t suck at ringside (sorry Larry Sharp and Johnny Fairplay) I think they can be a very effective mid-card tag team.

Some exciting matches there to say the least! So I take it they are going to become a staple in your fed among the tag team division?

I'm not surprised that the Kangaroos won so easily. For me, they are the best tagteam in LOW.
