For the few that actually post in all these, sorry for the delay...
This entry into Who's The Greatest is all about stables, something TNA ha s a long history with. I'm only listing 8, but there's definitely more, so I expect a lot of "Other" votes...
We all know, and love, The Beautiful People, consisting of the Barbie dolls of the Knockout Division, so they get first mention. Their matches are not always the greatest, but Angelina did hold the gold, and they were in line to be the inaugural Tag Champs. Their entrance alone gets a bigger pop (pun maybe intended) than almost anyone on the roster.
In the early days of TNA, there were stables like Triple X and 3 Live Kru, both capturing the tag titles, and involving themselves in some of the most memorable feuds in TNA history. There was also a few mentions of Team Canada in the tag team thread, but I always felt they fit here better, because they were definitely more than just a tag team. They had a little bit of everything, and are among the best heels, and most recognizable, in the history of TNA. L.A.X. was also a stable, to a limited extent, with Konnan, Salinas, and Hector Guerrero all joining at various times. No one can deny their impact on the company, as noted by their number of votes for Greatest Tag team alone.
More recently, we've had the Main Event Mafia headline show after show, pay-per-view after pay-per-view. They would hold all of the titles at different times, and lasted almost a year to the day, taking on basically everyone on the roster. On a smaller scale, there's World Elite. Eric Young captured the Legends Title and renamed it, and the British Invasion are reigning tag champs. They're much younger than the MEM, and who knows when they'll end.
On a personal note, and for only that reason, I was always a big fan of Serotonin. Under Raven's tutelage, Kaz, Matt Shane, and Johnny Devine were great in the ring, and finally boosted themselves into being relevant. They never garnered much success, but it was all a pretty big storyline at the time.
My vote here goes to the Main Event Mafia. They caught a lot of shit when they started, but they still managed to put over a lot of younger guys, and split up at exactly the right time. Their roster was also pretty incredible, no matter how old they were. Nash is still decent in the ring, even if he has slowed, and Steiner is showing he still has it. Angle and Joe could never be questioned.
