Don't make me angry Will, you won't like me when I'm angry...
Whatever you say, Incredible Sam.
Hopefully your post is better looking than the first remake of the Hulk, with the crappy computer graphics.
Dear God... ARRRGH! See what you've done!? You've turned me into the Incredible Wes (with better arguments).
So you're..
me?
1) Their gimmick was genius and it was gritty, something rare which TNA captured and hasn't been able to capture since. They came in and they lay waste to TNA's greatest tag teams, spelling the end for both America's Most Wanted and AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels, not to mention putting a fork in the head of anyone who got in their way. To label them as a "racially created tag team" does them a disservice. Firstly, you make it sound like a common thing, which I suppose you can say it is... if you group in all teams of foreign heels. There is/was a whole new level with LAX, they were militant thugs and yeah, they said a lot of words, but they backed them up in the ring and fucked people up.
The point I'm making, is wasn't L.A.X. founded by Konnan, after leaving 3 Live Kru, in which he went back to his "blood" to people he could trust? Which makes L.A.X. nothing more than created by racial bounds.
Konnan created the group in part to play a racial role. While it doesn't bother me (I did like the Nation) it just effects me that you can only do so much with that storyline. They're heel (thugs) or faces. (representatives)
2) Labelling them as such also ignores how good they really are. They are hands down one of the most versatile teams to step in any kind of ring, and are exciting to watch. One minute Homicide'll be flying over the ropes, the next Hernandez will be tossing someone over them to meet him, the next, yup, someone will have a fork in their head. Like Kurt Angle, they weren't afraid to use high impact moves even though they were heels and, again like him, they used brutal tactics and so still claimed an impressive heel reaction.
Just because they're a racially created group shouldn't/doesn't take away their talent. L.A.X.
ARE one of the few teams left in T.N.A. that have a tremendous amount of talent, especially mixed.
Homicide is the speed and quickness. Hernandez is the power and strength, and both have agility. This is honestly though, the mexican version of A.J. Styles and Tomko.
3) LAX are responsible for some of the most entertaining matches in TNA history, having stolen the show on countless occasions, and have stole the show at Bound For Glory two years running.
While I'd have to resee the line-ups and remember the completeness of the matches, I wouldn't be blindly in position to disagree with that either. Again, I'm not and never were discounting the talent and abilities Homicide and Hernandez have.
To me, however, its their characters, their origin, their "being" in which you can only do so much with them through those characters. I guarantee you'll never see either involved in a Gothic storyline. Neither will be involved with the Preppy Beautiful People (except barring Salinas) and neither would be allowed near the Booker T. - Royal T gimmick, unless he went to them.. because their origin doesn't explain why they'd be involved in random events like that.
4) William Regal sucks, The Rock... erm, rocks.
How dare you. Hes one of your own..
Like I said, they've evolved. They're no longer militant thugs that'll fuck everyone up, they're representatives of the Latino nation, bringing pride back to their side, as evidenced by all that rainbow coloured shit and Hector Guerrero.
But isn't it a Guerrero Family tagline to.. Lie? How do you know they're trying to be representatives for good? In a heartbeat, they could swerve us all and say it was due to their traditional tagline of lying.
