From the creator of the campaign thread and the man instrumental in The Undertaker's current "WrestleZone Champion" status comes...
As you will mostly be aware, LAX are a TNA team. But don't discredit them because of this. In fact, do quite the opposite. LAX have been victorious over the other five TNA teams that find themselves worthy enough to be in this tournament - Team 3D, The Motor City Machine Guns, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, America's Most Wanted and Triple X. As a matter of fact, LAX didn't just beat these teams. No, with the exception of 3D and The Guns, they broke them all up.
Now if there's one thing that has made LAX so long-lived and successful, it's versatility. Versatility in pretty much every sense of the word. Through various incarnations, Homicide and Hernandez have remained the rock solid core of the group. Not only this, but they have thrived in every situation they've been put in. Whether they've been confined to a steel cage or been asked to climb high above the ring or to even put a fork in someone's face, LAX has risen to the challenge. There are no situations you can put these two in that they will be uncomfortable in. To discover why, look at the men themselves.
An absolute monster of a man. Pitiless and efficient. He combines straightforward shoulder blocks - that would knock any man to the ground - with more flamboyant moves; spinning powerbombs and suicide dives immediately spring to mind. Acts as a hugely effective equalizer against other big men and swats everyone else away like flies. You just can't mess with Hernandez.
The speed and intelligence side of the team. Homicide combines electrifying lucha libre seamlessly with the more brutal, bare bones side of wrestling. He'd just as soon hit you with a flying Topé con hilo (look it up) as split you open with a pizza cutter. Look at what it says on his shirt: Lucha Thug.
As you can see, the two compliment each other perfectly, overlapping in all the right areas while still keeping all the bases covered. Separately they're dangerous and versatile. Together they're deadly and ultra-versatile - a breath-taking typhoon of destruction. My colourful imagery sells them short. Then there's their special moves (although both have an assortment of highly effective signature moves) - the Gringo Killa and Border Toss. It's highly unlikely that anyone would get up from either.
Then there's their region, ECW. Oh noes, it's not TNA! But like I said, highly adaptable. LAX wouldn't look out of place in ECW; they've entertained many a bingo hall in their time. In TNA, they've got a great track record in dangerous, hardcore-style matches. They've been in every kind of street fight you'd care to name. Homicide uses a fork for Christ's sake. He was the guy that force fed Colt Cabana carpet cleaner. These two are, to borrow a phrase, harder than hardcore.
Their next opponents are Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, the self-proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team. How do they stand a chance?
