Oh shit!
I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. That's a fantastic pick up for TNA, and a HUGE blow to the indy scene. If you haven't seen these guys, don't let their early Hardy Boys look turn you off. I could argue that they're the best tag team going today.

They need a little more depth. If The Young Bucks are as good as advertised, they're a great addition. If you can take my word as someone who's been watching them pretty much once a month in the ring live for the last two and a half years or so, they are an incredible tag team.

Didn't Matt Jackson originally tag with Nick Aldis (Brutus Magnus)?

By my count, TNA has five legitimate tag teams, four of which are serious contenders for the tag titles... The British Invasion The Motor City Machine Guns Beer Money, Inc. Team 3D Lethal Consequences They need a little more depth. If The Young Bucks are as good as advertised, they're a great addition. Yeah it is pretty obvious that TNA has a much better tag team division than WWE has. WWE just doesn't care about tag teams anymore. WWE has like one legit team in Hart Dynasty and I guess you could say Cryme Tyme but in the past three years Cryme Tyme has hardly done crap. The Young Bucks are a great addition to TNA's tag division. I just hope they give them a new better tag team name.

I'm just afraid that they will come off as Hardy Boyz Light to people who haven't seen them on the indies. They're a great team, and in fact, I would describe them as the Hardy Boyz with more technical skill, but I just hope that extra skill isn't lost on TNA TV.
Any chance they come out in cargo pants and t-shirts?

Lethal Consequences barely count, Team 3D is off doing other things, Beer Money are.....I don't even know what the hell they're doing right now. And there's pretty much the same number of teams in WWE. It's not really the haven for tag team wrestling that people make it out to be.

Sheer numbers in tag teams is pretty meaningless when A) WWE has many more hours of programming and roster space, and B) one company books their tag titles as meaningful, while the other flat-out doesn't (outside of the Jericho/Big Show reign, going by what many have said here).
In that regard, it's not even close, given how poorly WWE has booked their tag titles before the past few months or so.

In that regard, it's not even close, given how poorly WWE has booked their tag titles before the past few months or so. and TNA booked their whole tag team division into a corner by having 4 teams feud with each other at once then have a match where "After tonight none of these teams will EVER face each other again" leaving the champions with 2 challengers left, none of which were built up at all so they had to throw one of the other teams back into the mix even though they weren't supposed to ever face the champions again.

I think it's more the fact that even with the limited amount of time TNA has, that they can still make the tag team titles mean something, when to the WWE tag team champs are barely a notch above ECW champion.
Not talking about the team that holds it, just the fact that most of the time that DX has been shown since the title win they aren't even carrying the belts, instead they are focused on a midget.

So, does Dixie pretty much run her company via Twitter now? Because I'm convinced I can get her to hire 2.0 if I start a big enough Tweet campaign.

Hell, Shannon Moore of all people was promised a look from her after he started one. The Bucks had Morgan, Styles, MCMGs and, a few others on their side as well so, if you talk to those guys on their, it would help.

Not doubt a good signing, but will they be AMW & Beer Money (Not lately, but overall) with steady pushes (I believe) or will they be like MCMG with yo yo pushes and never getting the titles.
