And speaking of your picks alfdogg, add a description as to why you picked the game.

This does suck. Winston was the man. RIP.

Cena/HHH Actaully I'd like to see D-Lo feud with some of the younger stars to elevate them up to the next level. Someone like Shelton or MVP.

The one (and only!) Raw thread for 16/6/2008
luke-o replied to TheFranchise's topic in The WWE Folder
Not sure if anyones told you this, but Batista still hasn't done shit in the ring or had stand out matches. But I'm all for talent pushes. If there's anything the RAW main event scene needs it's freshening up. -
RE: MCMG overness. I may be have been a bit brash on my statement but I stand by it. Mainly because they have remained over as faces and as heels. In fact, the only reason they turned face was because the crowd kept cheering for them to win. Granted, Styles/Daniels we're massivly over but why wouldn't they be? It's AJ Styles (triple crown winner) and Christopher Daniels (longest reigning X champ), putting the two together was bound to get over. But I will conceed on AMW, man they we're awesome. I've been thinking bout Roode/Storm recentley and I do like the "odd couple" pairing, but until they don't look like a tag team. Styles and Daniels for example (once they became a team) had one entrance where they did similar moves and they wore the same coloured attire which made them look like a tag team despite the lack of tag team name. If Roode/Storm got that, then I'd buy into them.

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?

Is everyone else hoping they keep his orginal entrance music? YOUR LOOKING AT THE REAL DEAL NOW!
-
In all honesty, I don't think there is anything in The E that makes me want to watch the show at the moment. Both main event programs are boring, the IC title isn't being used and the tag title situation is lame on both brands with the exception of DiBiase Jr. But the fact that the WWE tag titles are worth jack shit it seems pretty pointless.
-
Not all of us think it's a positive.
-
Damn, I've lost out on Mario Galaxy, RE4, Mega Man 2 and No Mercy in a matter of hours. Damn.

4425-1694-6893 for Mario Kart. That should work now.
-
You prick! That was going to be my next choice.
-
After joining the Video Game Draft (and now understanding what they involve), I wish I'd joined this one too. EDIT: Having said that, 5 of my top 10 of all time have been picked (Clerks, Pulp Fiction, BTTF, Ghostbusters and Roger Rabbit)
-
That's correct.
-
My personal favourite line was "oh no I got bananas again!" when the two kids we're playing Mario Kart DS.
-
Con Air starts to loose the plot after the crash the plane. Up until then it's fantastic.
-
I would also agree with Truthy on this one, but when Booker told him to "shut up" when he wanted an explination, Joe just laughed at him. Therefore showing that he knows Booker talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. At least that's how I saw it.
-
Wanted looks pretty goddamn awful. On every aspect. But you can't say a bad word about Con Air
-
That is fine I guess. But in this case of Roode/Storm, they're just a tag team because they are both midcard heels.
-
I've only heard I Get Wet and The Wolf, can anyone recommened me the other good WK albums?
-
Just what we need, another pointless action film with big expolosions, lots of guns, fast cars and Jason Statham.
-
Well I have done before. The script never looses it's edge.
-
Could he have given a more obvious clue other than, "It's Harry Smith".
-
That's not really the point I was making, I was saying that I hate makeshift tag teams that are just two wrestlers thrown together for no reason other than they are both faces/heels.
