johnson316cane 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 It's great how dumbass people say Taz being promoted as 'a former World Chamion" is fine and make sense, when in reailty it is one of the more stupid fucking moves ever. I guess people really need that ref job in TNA, because Socal Indies aren't paying enough. Why is it stupid? Taz was ECW champion back when it meant something and he did win the world tag team titles with Spike Dudley. Taz isn’t the first person that a promotion has hyped as a world champion b/c they won the world tag team titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 Ya sucks for Roxxi with the whole hair cutting deal but maybe TNA saw it as a necassary evil for getting the Beautiful People as over as they are now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 right but they are the ones that got the heat for it Gail Kim wasn't put over as the one who won the match to cut her hair it was Angelina Love who cost her the match and hair and since they went forward bringing it up making fun of her for it they are the ones who got over for it. It was one of their first big heat building deals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess people really need that ref job in TNA, because Socal Indies aren't paying enough. People are STILL crying about this? Are you seriously mentally handicapped or something? Taz IS a former world champ and he did come to TNA. Just because your dumbass got burnt on some stupid assumptions you made thinking a former champ was coming in to wrestle doesn't mean it was a stupid move on TNAs behalf, just that it was a stupid move on your behalf to make any assumptions regarding the statement TNA made... they NEVER claimed he was coming to wrestle, just that he was coming.

Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 I think they go down as the greatest american tag team ever hard to argue with the stints in every major org and the number of titles worn meaning they have had success every place they go too Even tho they were stale as hell breaking them up back in the WWE at the end of their run was dumb as hell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Do you really count ECW and TNA as title reigns? They're hardly major promotions like WWE or WCW. Greatest American team ever? It's hard to look past the Road Warriors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 The Road Warriors and The Dudleys are 1 a and 1 b for sure. They were totally different teams with the Road Warriors being straight ass kickers and the Dudleys being shit talking heels. The Dudley legacy was hurt by the forced name change when they came to TNA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 The Dudleys, in history, will be held back by two main things, in my opinion. 1. They were most famous for work in ECW, which was in the annuls of history just a small company. 2. They aren't well known for actually being able to wrestle, and neither have ever been in superb condition. Dudley's don't even crack the top 5 for me.

Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 Maybe we're just using different criteria I'm thinking about overall success and longevity and popularity with the not so hardcore fans. ECW being a small show doesn't matter for me because it was the small but still the 3rd biggest during a boom period. Now if they had stayed in ECW I would agree with you but since comming to the WWE and being one of the main forces in the Tag division, again during a boom period, that they have more than proven that they arn't a small time act. Add to that stuff like winning the titles in Japan, the ties with pop culture, Wassup headbut anyone?, and the Get The Tables phrase I think a lot of people will remember them longer than the Road Warriors or the Hart Foundation. Also they are a tag team thru and thru. When broken up neither had any type of success as singles, which distinguishes them from say the Stieners where Scott became a star on his own or the Hart Foundation where Brett became a huge star on his own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 I like you Masked Heel, I really do, but to say people will remember the Dudley Boys long after the Road Warriors/Legion Of Doom is laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Heel 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2009 Idk dude not everyone is an old school wrestling fan hell some people only remember them as the Legion Of Doom The Legion Of Doom was a strong dominate team in WWF but no where near the dominance of the NWA and they never were able to recapture that popularity that they did in the NWA as the Road Warriors Now I think that if you were 14 or 15 in 98-2000 you might remember the Dudleys more so than the Legion Of Doom especially if you choose to remember LOD 2000 or LOD with Droz and other stuff like that.

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 I'd put The Road Warriors, Freebirds, British Bulldogs, Dudleys, Steiners, Hart Foundation, Midnight Express, Rock and Roll Express, Harlem Heat, Outsiders as my top ten probably. Those are in no particular order either. You also have to rank the New Age Outlaws, Hardys, Edge and Christian up there in the top fifteen or so. The Funks and Briscos were great teams as well from what I've seen of them on dvd. I think the Road Warriors are the Hulk Hogan of tag team wrestling, that first team that comes to your mind.

RedJed 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2009 TNA Mobile issued the following text: "Two former TNA superstars who have been TNA world champions in the past, are set to make a return to the Impact Zone this Thursday." Hmmm, I have no idea who that could be, although keep in mind "TNA world champions" doesn't necessarily mean THE world champ. Could be former X division champs or tag champs too. I'd love it if one of the returning champs was Raven, and the other Ken Shamrock but that's a longshot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
