Tim Cooke 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 I am a fan of America's Most Wanted. But as far as a babyface tag team following the RnR/Rockers persona, Spanky/London are worlds better. The Velocity match from tonight proved that (and they had a decent opponent in Stan Dupp to work with) but it also shows the quality of TNA's work. The Velocity match was no more than 6 minutes, yet it did so much without rushing through everything. Got the London/Spanky team over as being faster, put heat on London for a good segment, and then went to the finish. The hot tag wasn't perfect but I have NEVER seen AMW do a hot tag correctly. AMW needs to focus on the fundamentals that London/Spanky showed: * Don't start every match with a brawl. One of my favorite tags is the MX/Fantastics Clash I brawl. But that brawl meant something. Establish your characters, hit your moves, do some double teams, and by the time you are done, you should be ready to transition offense. * Learn how to make the hot tag. Always tease comebacks. The sunset flip spot is cliche, but it works. Build up the crowd for the hot tag. * Work smooth. Make everything count. Don't just do moves because you think you can do them. That's two weeks in a row of London/Spanky on Velocity and two weeks that I have been satisfied. Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Basswitch Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Who are you to say what AMW needs to do? If they were trying to be spanky/london clones they could, but then they would be bashed for being spanky/london clones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JRE Report post Posted November 2, 2003 He, as a wrestling fan and observer said that. And he didn't say for them to be Spanky/London clones, he simply suggested they work the tag team style better- like London and Spanky have done- even in teaming for only a short time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted November 2, 2003 You probably did know they teamed in RoH and probably teamed as long as AMW (who only started teaming a few wks. into TNA's debut, July last year). It's hard to turn AMW into guys like Spanky/London because some of the TNA crowds dont like them, and won't cheer them obviously while Spanky/London are over with almost everyone as faces and only a few dislike them.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Wasn't Tim banned? And I can't say I disagree with what you're saying about AMW. I'm a fan of theirs when their matches aren't your typical RnR Express formula tag match, but otherwise, they're pretty bland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 He was unbanned because there was no evidence that he did it Corey. And as everyone has said- Spanky and London fought once in ROH, were both in a 3-way and that's it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest One Trick Pony Report post Posted November 3, 2003 Or maybe we should get back on topic. I've noticed in two threads now that CoreyLazarus416 likes to take threads off topic. Like everyone's said, AMW is quite bland. I also had never heard of Spanky/London teaming before. I believe people are confusing London with AmDragon who was trained by Shawn. The way I see it, the TNA crowds don't follow regular cheering and booing. They had that stupid heel section that reeked of Vince Russo's damage to face/heel alignment resulting shades-of-gray characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm sure others have noticed that I have a lot to add when the situation calls for it, am not so opinionated it becomes pure bias, and am one of the top posters in the Music folder. Besides, every thread goes off-topic at some point anyways. And what's wrong with lightening the mood by making fun of Dames' bad handwriting skills? OH!
