Why in sam hell would you pick Wii Sports? It looses it's appeal after a few hours. Well the bowling doesn't, that's badass.

I don't care if Bale is in this movie. It's going to blow.

Now I bring this up because the tag team division has been brought up in recent threads due to Roode and Storm getting a push out of no where. So I thought I would compile a list of all the tag teams in TNA and see what can be done fued wise for the tag champs. TNA actually has (and has always had) a very strong tag team scene. And I think that's one of the reasons I like the company so much, I'm a fan of tag team wrestling. And TNA has had some awesome teams (xXx, AMW, Team Canada, Styles/Brown, The Red Shirts... no wait.) So here we go: The Tag Team Champions - LAX The Latin American Xchange The current 3 Time champions Homicide and Hernadez have been awesome since they we're formed as a tag team under the guidence of Konnan. Granted I think they make better heels then they do faces, but with Hector and Shelly Martinez by their sides, I still think they make a great team. They did have the iffy run with Machette and the rest of their "posse" during their pants first fued with Team 3D, but apart from that, they've been in mostly great fueds. The best one being their fued with Styles/Daniels. The Contenders: Face Teams: The Motor City Machine Guns Possibly the most over tag team in TNA history and a team that should have had the trigger pulled after their fued with Team 3D. But unfortunatly for Sabin and Shelley, a lack of blading made them into the J.O.B Squad for a couple of months. Now as part of Team TNA during the X cup, they are starting to pick up a bit more pace and with a bit of luck, convince those in charge that they are the next big thing in tag team wrestling. They've only really had one fued with Team 3D (which isn't worth mentioning) but it should be said that they we're pretty good in their role. Also, they should have better entrance music. I've said that MCMG make better heels, but after watching Impact last week I've changed my mind, all they need is a serious fued and then the skys the limit. Heel Teams: Team 3D Is there really anything I need to say about these guys? Countless time tag champs and the only team in history to hold the ECW, WCW, WWE, NWA and TNA tag team titles. They suck as singles competitors but they rock as a tag team and they rock even harder as a heel tag team. Fueded with just about everyone in TNA and are great at getting teams/singles over. I'm glad they are still with TNA and I'm still as big as a mark for them now as I was back in ECW. The Rock and Rave Infection A pretty amusing gimmick indeed. Lance Hoyt has never really found a spot in TNA that fit him, his one stand out singles match was against Abyss but again, not hing came of it. That was until he turned heel and got Jimmy Rave to be his new tag team partner. What I like about RnRI is the fact they have the same gimmick, they do said gimmick well and they have a female voice to lead them. That way, Rave and Hoyt don't have to do promos. Now, I don't see this team being anything massive. I see them as fodder, something to keep other teams busy while they aren't challanging for the gold. Roode and Storm This tag team shows, if anything, that TNA is in despertate need of a second tier title. Something for these guys to aim for. I like Roode. I like Storm. I hate random tag teams. They are challanging LAX to the titles at the next PPV and I wish they weren't. Although, a series of vignettes, something with them trying to get along with their clash of gimmicks would be fine - as build to being a tag team. But them going into the ring as one for a couple of shows then getting a title shot is pretty shit. Even if it is on a throwaway TNA PPV. Petey Williams and Scott Steiner Not really been a tag team as such, but have been hanging out a lot lately. Steiner has moulded Petey too look just like him and he even pumped him up to win the X Division title. If you wanted an example of how to make a random tag team work, look no further than these two. All the needed to complete the puzzle was a few tag matches. But perhaps Petey is better off as a singles competitor with Scotty and Rhaka as his back up. But, a team with potential. Other mentions: The Monsters Black Reign and Rellik (it's killer spelt backwards fyi) haven't been on TV now for quite a while. And for that I'm glad. They suck. Christian Cage and Rhino Again a random tag team, but at least they have history as long time friends. But after the violent fued they had a couple of years ago, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Plus, Christian makes for a better heel. Could they be title contenders? Well yes of course they could, but I'd rather they didn't because frankly, they don't need it. Shark Boy and Curry Man el oh el. Shoot me, I like these guys. It's good fun mid card comedy stuff. And I like it. Title contenders? Not a chance. But damn do they make me laugh. So that's the Teg Team Scene as it stands in June 2008. Probably the weakest it's been for a while. With the split of AJ/Tomko and The James Gang the scene has suffered. Which is why Roode and Storm appear to be the no. 1 contenders. What would I do to change that? I'm not sure. I'd like to see the Guns in the title picture but with LAX as champs that's unlikley to happen. They either need to build a credible heel team (that's not random) or do a face/face fued and throw a third heel team in the mix. Actually, a LAX/Team 3D and MCMG fued could be great fun. Ending with a triangle ladder match. It could be the Edge and Christian/Hardys/Dudleys of TNA. Thoughts?

It would be an great way to push someone though by debuting them out of no where.

Mine was fine.

Should they have not waited until this years SummerSlam and then released a 20 year anthology? That makes more sense to me.

I know people ask this all the time and it's well annoying. But does anyone have a stream? I'm interested in the draft and the draft alone.

Oh bullshit. I wanted that.

I knew the serial pillest was behind this.

Super Smash Bros Melee (Gamecube, 2002) I missed out on Brawl, but oh well. Six years on and my friends and I still play this game to death. I can spend hours and hours playing it and never get tired of it. Great game.

Damn... I'm gonna watch Bill and Ted and Dogma tonight.

I actually think the 1st one is the best game. Good pick.

I'm glad you called him by his real name.

Crandimanic's 12 hours have passed. My go. And I pick: Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Playstation/Dreamcast, 1998) With Super Street Fighter gone, I've picked my second favourite of the series. A massive roster to keep me busy, some really nice animation, a kick ass soundtrack and more than just an arcade mode to finish. Love it. Just to clarify, I'm picking the Dreamcast version.

I can't believe I've missed out on another one of these.

I watched This is England this evening. This is Bollocks would have been a better title.

Ooooh sick burn

When Hell freezes over and Santa takes up residence there.

People also claim he's a musican.

D'OH!

I still think that it was a total cop out, and they went with the "God" angle because they couldn't come up with anything better. What makes it worse is that I think that was the plan from the start. If you go back and listen to the joker card albums, there is a lot of subliminal messages about God and that the Carnival is heaven.

So I saw the film last night as part of an audience test screening and it's a very funny film. Unlike most comdies these days, this didn't feel over-long and the funny kept up with the pace of the film. Stiller was pretty good in his role, but not as good as Zoolander. Downey Jr. was awesome and should get much praise for the film. Jack Black was ok as the fat comedian with And there were some great cameos. Some really good cameos. Overall, I'd say check it out.

Thank You For Smoking is ten types of awesome.

I liked the six joker card gimmick. And it kind of did have an ending. It turns out that The Carnival is heaven and the true ring master is God. Or some shit like that.

I rented Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and enjoyed a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. Some of the songs are ace and the comedy was very good. Plus, it had an Eddie Vedder cameo.
