ROH and TNA have crappy tag divisions themselves at the moment. They seem to get theirs repaired much more quickly, however. Daniels & Kazarian seem to be settling into a proper tag team role, however, and I don't mind that, since both are super-talented but there's no real room for them anywhere else. I do think that they dethroned Joe & Magnus too quickly, but whatever. It kind of makes sense, since the history between Daniels & Kazarian goes back further than that of Joe & Magnus. I hope we haven't seen the last of that team, however.
What TNA is missing right now, though, is that real tag team. Two guys who have a genuine reason to want to be partners, have a tag team name and can work together. If I were TNA, I'd try and coax Paul Birchill in and put him in a team with Doug Williams as a new British Invasion. If only they could get Homicide back to team with Hernandez, as well. The LAX and British Invasion would strengthen any division right now.
ROH have got some teams, but they just seem to play hot-potato with the belts. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team and The Briscoes have had a great rivalry, but it seems it's coming to the end and a new chapter needs to be written. Since they have absolutely no personalities whatsoever, I think The American Wolves and Future Shock should be put back together into proper teams.
Kevin Steen & Jimmy Jacobs would also make a pretty decent ROH team, given that they are currently aligned; but Steen is currently charged with carrying the World Championship of the company. If he dropped it, though, I would be behind him heading into the tag division with Jacobs. Given their violence history with both men, a rebuttle team of BJ Whitmer & El Generico would also be really cool.
As for who would then carry ROH's singles division? Well, the list of guys who have it all in ROH is pretty short. Personally, I think their best bet could actually be a pushed Kenny King. That would mean taking him and Rhett Titus out of the tag team division, but Titus is also a guy with ring skills and personality. What they could do is something similar to the rise of Johnny Jeter and Matt Cappotelli in OVW -- have one win the ROH World Title, and then kick the other to the curb, claiming that now they were out for themselves. It's simple, cliched, but it would work, and set up the other guy to take the ROH World Title in a properly built feud.
