Clearly, TNA needs its own Teddy Long.

I'd like to see TNA go the route of having established wrestlers not doing much at the moment going for the tag straps. It sucks, but the days of the long term, career tag team appear to be numbered. Treat it like doubles in tennis, have Styles/Kaz, Gunner/Steiner, Abyss/Kendrick (they could bond over weirdness now that Abyss is a good guy again), just any two guys that want to pair up and get some gold. It could take the place of the traditional midcard title, which TNA is lacking.

Here's something I've been thinking about. Since MexAm are the champs, let them feud with Ink Inc for a while but not put the straps on Jesse and Shannon. Then one day have MexAm cut another of their pseudo racial promos (about being Mexican and not being noticed in the company).
Then, get Pope and Devon to come out (Pope mainly on the mic) and respond to MexAm, saying that they (Pope and Devon) are African America, and guess what homies, you HAVE been noticed, WE'VE noticed you.
At the minute, Pope/Devon just seems like a random pairing of two black guys that creative can't work out what to do with. So you take that, and you turn it into a strength. Let them be proud to call their team African America, and let them play the faces to MexAm's obvious heels. I'm not sure, but has there ever been an all black tag team before who actually acknowledged and celebrated the fact (and played strong faces so the fans could get behind them as well)? There was Cryme Tyme in the 'E, but that was, depending on your opinion, comedy/gangsta OR actually mildly offensive.
So go on TNA, do this, you could be on a winner if you handle it properly.

As we all know there was a stable called the Nation of Domination, not sure about an African American tag team which did such though.

they COULD do the following line-up:
Mexican America (heels) Ink Inc (faces) British Invasion (faces) Pope & Devon (maybe a heel turn? yeah it's Russo, of course they'll turn heel eventually) Scott Steiner & Gunner (heels) MCMG (faces / when Sabin's ready to go again) Abyss & Kendrick (faces / credit to McGonigle, GREAT idea...they would be super-over, similar to Kane/X-Pac in 1999)

I dunno why, but if I was going to put a tag team together that I think would work and could get the two guys in it over, I'd go for a team of Pope and ADouble. Licence to print money.

Hey remember when TNA had a three hot divisions that WWE either didn't have at all [X-Division] or didn't care about [Tag and Women's]?
Yeah...good times...
