Tag.....

As this site's moniker suggests, I've a huge fan of Tag Team wrestling and TNA has a long history of having a great division. I recent months, however, things have come down to only about three teams, with each team being dissolved ultimately. The Joe/Magnus wildcard pairing is working as is the Crimson/Morgan team, but truth be told, more must be done to ensure there is some kind of division to work with once the feud has run its course. I would offer a couple of solutions.....

1. Bring back Mexican America and the British Invasion. Hernandez and Anarquia worked well enough together, but to really set it off, bring in Chavo Guerrero to work with them. His work ethic alone would improve the quality of the matches they end up putting out. As for the Invasion, Mark Haskins and Doug Williams would do just fine to bring this together, but getting Rob Terry back with the group would be a nice touch to restore a balance of power.

2. If there is ANY inkling that there are going to be some performers released or relocated to the training facility in OVW, do the right thing and perform some damage control by putting together people who have worked together before and have some good proven chemistry together. The Motor City Machine Guns come to mind, but with Chris Sabin still on injured reserve for a short time yet, someone else must be brought to the game. During the early 2000's, WWF had the best tag team anywhere because there were more teams to work with. APA, The Dudleys, The Hardys, Edge and Christian, Too Cool, the list goes on. These were good, cohesive units with a great deal to offer the company even if just for a good change in the card that might otherwise have been cluttered with meaningless singles matches.

Here are the names of guys who haven't been around TV for a while....
-Devon, Pope, Anarquia, Hernandez, Anderson, Rob Terry, Shannon Moore, Rob E., Anthony Neese.....they've got enough people on their roster, the question is how to go about using who they have.

A possible pairing? Why not put Anderson with someone like Rob Terry and bring a bit of glory to the TV Title? How about running them with the Tag Belts? What about teaming Pope with Daniels? I'm playing the fence here, but bringing in some new faces seems like a possible option as well. The point is, right now, the division is pretty barren, not of talents, but of teams and the sooner TNA can rebuild the division, the better off they'll be.
