Are they ever going to get tag title run in TNA?

They are best tag team in TNA and yet they barely get a match on Impact or on the PPVs instead we get to the geriatrics :rolleyes:

i wonder if my tv show build up brought them into your mind! :pac::pac::pac:

I imagine they must really hate politiking and greasing hands backstage because they're so immensely talented. New Japan had enough faith in them to let a couple of ganjins hold the jr tag titles so my guess is that it's to do with backstage politiks.

I remember they didn't blade on a PPV match with the dudleyz, and got into real hot water over it; but they've been buried pretty bad for the last few years. They mentioned backstage politics i think at Destination X in their interview.

It's really sad, because whatever they do or don't do, the fans want them to be champions and they deserve a damn run!!

I definitely think they deserve a good run with the title, I think they are great to watch, either alone or tagging together.


It's such a shame that backstage politics can ruin someone in the business, or keep them from a title that many think they would deserve.

Easily my favourite tag team. Shame they are wasted so horribly by TNA, but the world does not begin and end with TNA and WWE TV folks. Check their indy and Japanese work. TNA is only a corner of their work, which also happens to be where they do the least work. In other words, screw TNA, and broaden yuor horizons somewhat.

They're an amazing team, easily as good as any in the world at the moment. Some of their double team work and the way they synchronise their moves takes tag tem wrestling to a whole new level. Not only that but they have real star power about them, especially Alex Shelley. That guy carries himself like he believes he's the biggest superstar in the world, e just has that v"it"factor that some guys will never have. I remember seing him at the live TNA show a couple of year back and being struck by the way he had his whole act executed perfectly, even down to the little things like taking his time to involve the crowd.

Sadly they've been underused in TNA, but this is nothing new and it shouldn't really surprise peope. How many times have we lamented the undersue of performers such as Bourne, London, Ultimo Dragon, James Gibson, even Danielson in WWE. At the end of the day in-ring talent hasn't been the criterion the bookers of the "big" companioes use to push people in a long time, if ever. Nor is it going to be anytime soon. So talent like MCMG not being pushed, while a tragedy, shouldn't really surprise us anymore.

As gimmick says if you want to see them really do their stuff look up their PWG, ROH and Japanese work. Theres a selfish part of me hopes they go the same way as Chris Daniels and end up back on the indies so everyone can see what they're capable of again.

Yeah, but it's still a shame they haven't gotten the belt in a mainstream US production like TNA. But you are right, most of their work is in the indies and Japan, they deserve recogniton for this too.

They are a pair of flippy midgets with bad attitudes. Don't expect them to be pushed anytime soon.

You know, part of me wants to see TNA create a Tag Team X title, give MCMG a massive push, before splitting them and giving Shelly a big push as a heel.

But an even bigger part of me would prefer to see them jobbed out to Team 3-Double D to prepare the latter for a nostalgia driven feud with the Wolfpac.
