6. THey had some good moments/matches in TNA and a good name, so long as they stuck to Motor City Machine Guns and not Murder City Machine Guns. They were a little overhyped based on being a team of two flippy guys. Alex SHelly always annoyed me.

MCMG vs Beer Money, August 12 2010 Impact, 2 out of 3 Falls Match, TNA Tag Team Titles


Briscoes vs MCMG, ROH Good Times, Great Memories 2007, ROH World Tag Team Titles

 

[mrken12]

MCMG vs Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson, ROH Fueling The Fire 2008

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Quintessential 8
Great matches but no promos that hold up to me. Spanned several companies and won a good amount of gold. Their tag team run surpassed their singles runs and both guys meshed perfectly

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Gonna go 7 they have alot of great matches,but I can't tell you anything about their gimmick or promos.

 

[OmegaK2099]

I givem an 8 they were the most entertaining tag team back when i was watching TNA

 

[mrken12]

MCMG vs Tyler Black & Jimmy Jacobs, ROH Tag Wars 2008

 

[mrken12]

Young Bucks vs MCMG, TNA Final Resolution 2010, Full Metal Mayhem for TNA World Tag Team Titles

 

[Hey_zeus]

7. I like these guys. Good energy. Good tag moves. Cool look and name. Tons of good and great matches. Really took those tandem moves/offense the Backseat Boyz was doing to the next level with the speed of Doi and Yossino.

 

[Mr. Negative]

7.5, bumped to an 8.

Great tag team, great moves, great matches, no real gimmick, nothing trendsetting or groundbreaking.

You couldn't tell me TNA didn't have next.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

hol up nikkas gave LOD a 9.88?

does LOD have good matches? swear i've only seen them mowing over jobbers and just shytting on bums

i give the shoulder pads a 10

 

[AKM-95]

Motor/Murder city Machine Guns were a good team. They brought the Japanese/Dragon Gate Ultra Flippy style to US Main stream wrestling. They had great feud with beer money and great matches with the briscoes.

However, I always felt they didn't show enough character together as a team which is weird because they both were better singles characters. Not to mention their last ROH run was mostly wack. Still they would be a welcome addition to most feds.

Spoiler: Rating

7.5

MCMG vs Ryusuke Taguchi & Prince Devit, NJPW Circuit 2009 New Japan Soul - Day 1

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

IDGAF. Probably one of the most underrated tag teams of all time. Sure, they weren't much to desire on the mic, but goddamn they could go in the ring. They were like a serious Young Bucks without the superkicks and dikk chops. They made their matches feel like their lives were on the line because they put in that work.
