At one time TNA did have some excellent tag teams but just like any other fed they get split up...
AJ Styles and Tomko, AJ Styles and Daniels and LAX are all done and they could've done so much more with them then just putting them back into singles action...
I hope the Young Bucks do well in TNA, but TNA is just the same as the other feds in the end...

I just look at the Tag Team demographics of the shows: TNA: British Invasion, Lethal Consequences, Team 3D, Motor City Machineguns, Beer Money. Smackdown: Cryme Time, Hart Dynasty Raw: DX I'm probably missing some on the WWE shows (I almost overlooked Beer Money  ) but still, I'd rather the Young Bucks go to a place where there's actually a tag team division instead of simply a tag team... |

In the end though we have the Young Bucks in the game and they are a good team and now they will be seen on television with TNA and thats good for those two guys...

You forgot MVP and Mark Henry on RAW, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase on RAW, Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft on ECW, and yeah I think that's about it. More teams than TNA...and yet they never use them. |

Frell, you know, I had Legacy written in there and I re-organized my post...Damn, that's embarrassing...Completely forgot MVP and Henry though... I hope the Young Bucks do well in TNA...I hope at some point they shift more focus to the Tag Team and X-Division soon...The tag division has always been there however...The Tag Champs have always been featured on the show at least and we know that TNA loves putting lots of guys in the ring... I think that's where it starts; getting on TV...After that if they go over well TNA will use them more often...If they get into a program with the tag champs they will be featured on the show every week...Either way I'm looking forward to seeing them...  |

during the 4-way monday night they referred to MVP and Henry as FORMER tag partners and they haven't teamed in many weeks so I wouldn't really call them a tag team.

It's becoming an age old debate...Is it better to be the big fish in a small pond or...?
All too often a guy or in this case, guys, dominate the independent scene, only to get called up to the "big show" to become curtain jerkers...However, we need to keep in mind that much like anything else, the cream usually rises. Remember, everyone had to start somewhere & I've seen enough of the Bucks to believe they should go over quite well & add to a fairly talented tag team scene in TNA...Just as long as they're not jobbing to the Nasty Boys next week!!!!!
The bottom line is this: EVERY wrestler on the independent scene is in this business for 1 reason...to make it to WWE or TNA. As much as we feel a sense of pride when they get "promoted" to the big time, of course we also don't want them to leave for fear that they will become undercard wonders. Believe me, I am the biggest ROH fan around (sorry Switchfoot...if it helps, I agree, Bret Hart IS God) & hate to see the Bucks go, but just like I had to accept Dragon & Nigel leaving, the bottom line is this is a business & obviously it's alot more profitable business when you're on the WWE or TNA roster & everyone needs to eat.

I won't hold it against you. Though my favorite part about the ROH guys going to the big promotions is when people go, "OH WWE IS GOING TO RUIN THAT GUY." Oh, you mean like they did with CM Punk? Yeah, four World Title reigns inside of a year and a half (not to mention IC and ECW title reigns), he's one of the most over guys in the company whether he's face or heel, and has feuded with Jeff Hardy, The Undertaker, and Batista, in addition to that, he's had two competitive matches against John Cena. Let me tell you, WWE really ruined Punk. |
