Is VKM considered Wrestlecrap?

[Trent Valentine]

No not Vincent Kennedy McMahon...I'm taking about the Voodoo Kin Mafia..I'm actually surprised with all the zaniness and complete dumbassery that R.D and Triple Kelly have covered in TNA..that this angle was never inducted.

Here's the skinny, The former New Age Outlaws BG James and Kip James..now The James Gang..were sick of management overlooking them for other tag teams. So they decided to "Shoot" on management and "Quit" (Ah Vince Russo you old rascal..won't you ever learn?) Weeks later they come back under a new name...Voodoo Kin Mafia..or as you can call them..VKM. Because the intitials were the same as Vincent Kennedy McMahon..get it?!...someone had to at least found it funny...anyone?...anyone?....I guess not.

Anyways, the newly rechristened VKM decided to declare war. On a tag team? on the World Champion Jeff Jarrett? No...this war wasn't on a TNA Superstar or authority figure..it was on some WWE stars and a authority figure. De-Generation X Members Shawn Michaels and Triple H..and Vince McMahon. They declared they were the ones who made DX what it is and demanded they stop their tomfoolery and shenanigans or suffer the consequences.

This is a feud?...I've got to stop drinking..

Anyways long story short, after putting on an unfunny anti DX Skit that the TNA fans in the crowd ate up like the sheep they were, they continued to challenge DX..even putting up a Million Dollar Challenge..which they didn't accept. Once HHH went down with a bad wheel, they declared themselves victorious in their war...declaring they are on top of the world..

Years later..they are a distant memory.

Should this be Wrestlecrap?

I certainly thought it was mostly because VKM was trying to re-create the "DX Invades WCW" bits which is now completely dated & seeing them camping out at Titan Towers was just stupid.

Stupid, but not Wrestlecrap, ironically rumor has it Vince wanted to recruit the Outlaws to join the reformed 06 DX, until he caught on to the "antics" they were pulling in TNA against him.

I say yes. I mean you could induct them based off name only. Voodoo Kin Mafia sounded like they threw the most random words at a dartboard and picked whatever stuck. Although the name was bad it started out okay with the whole trying to start a war with WWE. Fine I could deal with that since it was played more for laughs. So the beginning of it wasn't bad but really the laughs were mostly by Russo and no one else, okay maybe Jeff Jarrett.

But after they had nothing left for them and it turned into a bizarre angle where Billy Gunn became misogynistic and belittled Christy Hemme about how women had no place in wrestling and was somehowhe was the face! Christy Hemme failed obviously until she got wise and had failed tag team face VKM to enjoyment of no one. Of course the blowoff of this feud was the total hypocritical act of unleashing the originally "Zombie-rific" "Voodoo Queen" Roxxi Laveaux! Yeah how this angle has not been inducted is beyond me!

So I guess Kip James is okay with voodoo zombie women in wrestling but not alive ones.

The name "Voodoo Kin Mafia" sounds like the name of an American street gang (see names like Gangster Disciples, Crips, Bloods, Vice Lords, etc) so I can kinda sorta see where they were going with it...until they brought in an actual "voodoo queen". Then it just got weird.

The whole thing just seemed like a desperate cry for attention.

VKM is to New Age Outlaws as "Buzzkill" Armstrong is to Road Dogg. Someone should tell Russo that imitation is never always the sincerest form of flattery.
